Palmer Statement on Passage of the House Budget Resolution

Statement

Congressman Gary Palmer, a member of the House Budget Committee, voted for the budget resolution that was a result of the House/Senate Budget conference and which passed by a vote of 226 to 197 today:

"As I have repeatedly stressed, we face a fiscal crisis in America. Righting our fiscal ship is one of my top priorities. The Conference Budget is substantially the same as the House Budget resolution I previously supported. This budget creates a framework for reducing the size and scope of government by repealing Obamacare, strengthening Medicare by providing market incentives for both better and less expensive care and creating work requirements for welfare."

"This is the first time since 2008 that both Houses of Congress have passed a budget resolution. I hope this is a step toward a government that lives within its means and plans for the future, rather than just does what is expedient and ignores our ongoing fiscal crisis."
