Rep. Gosar Testifies Before the House Budget Committee

Today, U.S. Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-04) testified before the House Committee on the Budget about his primary concerns in regard to the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2015. Click HERE or the image below to watch his testimony.

The following are excerpts of Rep. Gosar’s remarks:

"The do-nothing Senate failed to pass a budget resolution for FY11, 12 and 13 and has no intention of even attempting to pass a budget resolution through the Senate for the Fiscal Year 2015. This reckless disregard for the law and our budgetary process is another example of why people are so frustrated with a Democratically-controlled Senate that refuses to tackle the tough issues." 

.........................................................................

"I supported the Budget Control Act, also known as the BCA, because I was sent to Congress to cut spending and work towards a balanced budget, not increase spending and balloon our national debt. The House FY15 [budget] should adhere to the caps put in place under the BCA prior to the passage of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 and extend the BCA’s spending caps through the end of the budget window."

......................................................................

"The FY15 budget resolution should include provisions that will balance our budget. I would prefer to see an aggressive plan similar to last year’s Republican Study Committee budget, which sought to balance the federal budget in four [years]."
