Griffin: CBO Report Is "Another Warning' of Debt Crisis
Statement
Issues: Government Budget and Spending
Congressman Tim Griffin (AR-02) issued the following statement in reaction to the long-term budget outlook reported by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) earlier today:
"The CBO's non-partisan, long-term budget outlook report highlights the gravity of the federal government's fiscal situation. It is another warning of the impending crisis and explains why we must make serious reforms now in order to lower our $14.3 trillion debt. The House has a plan for saving Medicare, reducing spending, and promoting private-sector job creation. It is time for the President and the Senate to work with us to address the factors that have led to this debt crisis."
