Press Releases

  On Tuesday evening, the U.S. House of Representatives will vote on H.R. 2560, the Cut, Cap, and Balance Act of 2011.  Congressman Steve Womack will be voting in support of H.R. 2560.  The bill will cut total spending by $111 billion in the year 2012, cap future spending to a percentage of GDP,  and require the passage of a Balanced Budget Amendment before the nation’s debt limit is raised.  The nation’s problem is a spending one and until the government balances its budget, we will continue on this current path of spending beyond our means.

“I am proud to be an original cosponsor of the Cut, Cap, and Balance Act.  I believe this is the only way to bring legitimate control to restore the integrity of this chamber and the confidence of the people we serve.

I still hear the voices of the people who sent me here who said, you have to cut spending, empower the private sector, reduce the size of government, and put Americans back to work.  At kitchen tables all across America, families are having to make decisions on their own budgets that force them to live within their means.  Why can’t Washington?”
