On Monday afternoon, the House—in a bipartisan vote—passed S. 365, the Budget Control Act of 2011. You can find the full details at HERE. Congressman Womack released this VIDEO and below statement following the vote: "When you consider the fact that we control the House—not the Senate and White House—one would have to conclude that this deal is a win for conservatives. It gets better than “dollar for dollar” cuts, no tax increases, and gives us a pathway toward a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution. I congratulate Speaker Boehner and his leadership team in its negotiating prowess in insisting on cuts-only solutions to the debt issues plaguing our nation.
“The longest journey begins with that all-important first step and the solution approved today in both chambers is a major step toward fiscal sanity in our country.” ### |
