Today, Republican Study Committee Chairman Bill Flores (R-Texas) released the following response to President Obama’s fiscal year (FY) 2017 budget proposal:
“Once again, President Obama has proposed a big-spending, deficit-driving budget that places liberal special interests above America’s greatest needs. His $4 trillion proposal requests a $3.4 trillion tax increase and never balances – ever. With the national deficit already topping $19 trillion, this liberal wish list is dead on arrival.
“Instead of more overspending, we need a detailed plan to rein in the federal bureaucracy, cut regulatory red tape, spur economic growth and save our social safety net. The Republican Study Committee is currently working on a conservative budget that will bring Washington back to fiscal balance. To protect our nation’s future, Congress needs to take action – and the president needs to take notes.”
Congressman Bill Flores represents the 17th District of Texas and is an entrepreneur, former energy executive, Certified Public Accountant (CPA), Chairman of the Republican Study Committee (RSC) and member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
