House Appropriations Chairman Hal Rogers today spoke on the House floor in support of the Republican budget proposal put forth by Rep. Paul Ryan, Chairman of the House Budget Committee. The Ryan budget would reduce federal spending by $6 trillion over the next decade, prevent tax hikes, and reform entitlement programs to rein in the nation's unsustainable and job-crushing deficits and debt.
The statement by Chairman Rogers follows:
Appropriations Chairman Hal Rogers today offered legislation on the floor of the House that contains historic spending cuts of nearly $40 billion – the largest single non-defense cut in history. The Continuing Resolution (CR) will also fund the nation's military and federal government operations for the remainder of the fiscal year.
The final Continuing Resolution (CR) legislation for fiscal year 2011 unveiled today by House Appropriations Chairman Hal Rogers contains historic spending cuts of nearly $40 billion, and will provide funding to keep the federal government operating for the remainder of the fiscal year. The passage of the bill in the House and Senate will mark the end of an arduous and long-overdue budget process initiated by the failure of the previous Democrat-controlled Congress to pass a budget or enact a single one of the 12 annual Appropriations bills last year.
