SENSENBRENNER STATEMENT ON BUDGET VOTE
Washington,
Apr 15, 2011 -
Please see the below statement from Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner on today’s budget vote.
“It was on this day in 1912 that the unsinkable Titanic sank. As it stands, our growing debt and deficit make our nation vulnerable to sinking. That’s why I was proud to vote in favor of Congressman Paul Ryan’s budget proposal because it takes the necessary steps to shift our government’s spending priorities in an effort to better prevent our own Titanic.
“This vote starts an honest debate about getting our spending under control and taking real steps to make that happen through cutting trillions of dollars, reforming the tax code and welfare system, and eliminating wasteful spending. At the same time, it preserves and strengthens the health and retirement programs for those who are currently 55 and older and future retirees.
“I commend Congressman Ryan on leading this charge.”
