Washington, DC– Congressman Brett Guthrie today issued the following statement following a renewed effort in the U.S. Senate for a balanced-budget amendment to the Constitution:

“I am pleased to see that my Senate colleagues are working to address Washington’s biggest problem – runaway spending. A balanced-budget amendment would put to rest widespread concerns about our country’s fiscal health – concerns that have frustrated our economic recovery and jeopardized our national security.

“I came to Washington hopeful that I could make things better for my children. A balanced-budget amendment would ensure that we don’t gift them the debt of our past and present.”

Washington, DC– Congressman Brett Guthrie issued the following statement today after voting in support of H.R. 444, the Require a PLAN Act, which would require President Obama to submit a plan to balance the budget:

“For the fourth time in five years, President Obama has failed to deliver a budget proposal on time. A true leader does not put his most basic responsibilities on the back burner, as the President has, especially when the Senate has gone 1,376 days without passing a budget.

“The bottom line is that Washington has a spending problem. Our country can’t afford the annual trillion dollar deficits that have become the norm under President Obama, and we must balance the budget. It is clear, left to his own devices, President Obama will not focus on the budget or our nation’s path toward fiscal responsibility.”
