Walberg Comments on the Budget Control Act

Today, Congressman Tim Walberg released the following statement about the Budget Control Act:

“I am acutely concerned for the direction of the country, and the current path of mounting debt for future generations. I am working to achieve the largest possible spending cuts and long-term deficit reduction and spending reform.

We have made some significant accomplishments by passing a 2011 Budget that cut $38.5 billion in one year, the Ryan Budget that cut $5.8 trillion in spending over ten years, and the Cut, Cap, and Balance Act. The president unfortunately repeatedly stands in the way of significant, necessary fiscal reforms. I believe the Cut, Cap, and Balance Act is the best solution, but I am voting today to continue its basic principles moving forward to find a solution that reduces spending, encourages job creation, and advances a Balanced Budget Amendment.”
