Westerman Applauds Balanced Budget Passing Committee

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WASHINGTON – Congressman Bruce Westerman (R-Hot Springs) issued the following statement following passage of the House Budget Committee's proposed budget Thursday morning (March 19):

"I am pleased that a balanced budget will come to the House floor for a vote next week. This budget does what the president's proposed budget never could – it balances. It not only balances, but it produces more than $5 trillion in savings over the next 10 years and creates workforce requirements to provide those in need a hand up instead of a hand out. I applaud the hard work of Chairman Price and my colleagues on the Budget Committee and look forward to casting my vote for the budget next week."
