Budget Deal Fails to Offer Montanasa a Needed Solution to Address Debt Crisis

Press Release

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Representative Steve Daines today released the following statement after voting in opposition to the Ryan-Murray budget agreement:

"While I'm encouraged by ongoing efforts to develop bipartisan proposals and commend Chairman Ryan and Chairman Murray for their work to find agreement, I am concerned that this budget proposal does not provide Montanans with a much-needed solution to our debt crisis. Rather than taking serious and needed steps to address Washington's spending addiction and growing debt, this budget relies largely on spending cuts many years from now to offset immediate spending increases. We need to continue working toward real solutions that get our country back on track and ensure a better future for the next generation."
