We in Tennessee know that low taxes, less government, and less spending are the ways to grow our economy.
From Marsha Blackburn
We know that working with small businesses to create jobs will do more to help our economy than anything the Obama Administration has tried to do.
One of the most important tasks of the United States House of Representatives is to pass a budget resolution.
Congress, of course, is not bound to accept the president's budget figures, but the House has the sole power to appropriate funds for spending, and it is a duty that should not be ignored.
The Budget Act of 1974 established a timetable for the annual budget process. Under Title III of the Act, Congress is to complete action on the concurrent resolution on the budget by April 15.
While the budget resolution is a nonbinding blueprint, it is, nevertheless, an important guideline for Congress. Once the President's proposed budget is received by Congress on the first Monday of February, Congress generally goes to work on appropriating the funds required.
Politicians like to confuse congressional spending with earmarks. There is a difference.
Any spending should be debated openly on the floor of the House and voted on in open session, with the American people having a chance to watch and listen.
The American people have made it abundantly clear that they want less government, not more. They want problems solved in a bipartisan manner, not the creation of new problems.
The Dodd Bill does very little to reduce financial risks. What it will do is make Wall Street even more the servant of bureaucrats in Washington and the political party in power. That is not in the best interests of the American people.
