WASHINGTON – House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) released the following statement today applauding House passage of the FY 2016 House Republican budget resolution (H. Con. Res. 27):
“Today, the House passed a pro-growth, balanced budget that establishes a stark contrast between our vision for the future, and that of the president.
Instead of drowning our kids in a sea of red ink, we cut more than $5 trillion in spending and balance the budget within a decade. Instead of taking money out of the economy with more than $2 trillion in tax hikes, we call for reforming the entire tax code to make it simpler and fairer.
And instead of shirking responsibility for entitlement reform, we offer a plan to strengthen and protect these programs for seniors and future generations. With additional proposals to cut red tape and boost American energy, our budget lays the foundation for more robust economic growth and more American jobs. I want to thank Chairman Price and the members of the Budget Committee for their hard work in advancing a balanced budget for a stronger economy and a safer America.”
