House Budget Proposal

Floor Speech

Date: March 23, 2015
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Government Budget and Spending

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, last month, President Obama released his
budget proposal. It, as expected, increases taxes and spending without
balancing the budget and allows Social Security and Medicare to go
bankrupt. The President's refusal to address the compounding national
debt emphasizes his disinterest in being a leader.

Fortunately, we in the House are leading. Our budget offers a stark
contrast. We implement commonsense reforms, balance the budget,
eliminate wasteful government spending, repeal ObamaCare in full, and
preserve Social Security and Medicare for current beneficiaries and
future generations.

Our budget restores the principle of federalism--the foundation of
our Constitution--empowering States, local communities, and the real
drivers of opportunity and prosperity, the American people.

I look forward to the debate this week in the House and working to
ensure the proper balance between our national security interests and
our long-term deficit reduction.
