Washington, DC – March 9, 2023….Congressman Steve Womack (AR-3) released the following statement after President Biden released his FY2024 budget proposal:

“President Biden’s latest budget request is weeks late and woefully short of the comprehensive economic reform this country desperately needs. It increases the public debt to 110% of GDP by 2033, fails to fund national security to account for inflation, and practically ensures that the government runs on unsustainable continuing resolutions for the rest of the fiscal year–or worse–enters a shutdown. Frankly, it is ridiculous President Biden can't deliver his budget request on time and when he eventually does - it isn't even a full request! Hardworking Americans in the Third District don’t want unrealistic wish lists and tax gimmicks; they need real solutions that foster job creation, expedite economic recovery, and address the country’s growing deficits.”

Congressman Steve Womack (AR-3) has represented Arkansas’s Third Congressional District since 2011. He is a member of the House Appropriations Committee.
