Today, Congressman Kevin Cramer joined a majority of his colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives and approved the conference report to S. Con. Res. 11, the Congressional Budget. This final bill is the result of weeks of work between members of the US House and US Senate to balance the budget within 10 years while not raising taxes, rebuilding and strengthening our nation's defense, protecting our nation's most vulnerable citizens, improving economic growth and opportunity for all hardworking Americans and finally limiting out-of-control federal spending.
"While it is not perfect, this budget is our roadmap to bringing fiscal sanity to Washington DC. It is incumbent upon Members of Congress to remain committed to the spending limits and goals laid out in this resolution. This process will force us to examine the size and role of government needed to meet the priorities of our country. I look forward to this discussion with my colleagues and people of North Dakota," said Cramer.
