March 25, 2015
Washington, D.C. – Congressman Tim Walberg (MI-07) voted today for a budget proposal that will help create jobs and grow a healthy economy, strengthen our national defense capabilities, save taxpayers $5.5 trillion, and balances in less than 10 years without raising taxes. The budget passed by a 228 - 199 margin and marks the fifth consecutive year the House has passed a responsible balanced budget.
"In contrast to President Obama's big spending plan, the House passed a fiscally responsible budget that balances without raising taxes. In our budget, we tackle our nation's economic challenges with positive solutions to pay off our debt and make government more efficient and accountable to the people we serve. By balancing the budget, we are building a foundation for a healthy economy and greater opportunity for all Americans, while also strengthening the safety net for those who need it most," said Walberg.
Congressman Walberg serves on the House Education and the Workforce Committee as Chair of the Workforce Protections Subcommittee. In addition, he serves on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. For more information on Walberg's work in Congress visit walberg.house.gov.
