Wilson Follows Through with Spending Reduction Promise

Press Release

Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) issued the following statement after the House passed a comprehensive appropriations bill for fiscal year 2014 (FY14).

"Washington's spending has spiraled out of control, risking the financial security of our economy and placing undue burdens on American families. By voting in favor of today's appropriations bill, I have followed through with my promise to constituents outlined in my legislative priorities for the year.

"We can not continue spending beyond our means. Our government's growing national debt affects each and every one of us. The only way forward is to proactively begin digging ourselves out of the mess big government has created. Although today's appropriations agreement achieves minimal savings in relation to our threatening debt, it is a step in the right direction," Congressman Joe Wilson stated.
