Rep. Burton Applauds House Passage of Cut, Cap and Balance

Rep. Burton Applauds House Passage of Cut, Cap and Balance
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Dan Burton (R-IN-05) issued the following statement after the House of Representatives approved H.R. 2560 the Cut, Cap and Balance Act of 2011:
“I have said it time and again; Washington doesn’t have a revenue problem, it has a spending problem. Today, the House has taken an important and critical step towards getting our economy back on track and our Nation’s fiscal House in order. The House Republican Cut, Cap and Balance Plan immediately rolls back the Obama Administration's unprecedented spending spree; sets enforceable caps on spending going forward and clears the way for Congressional passage of a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution which will prevent Washington from ever running up the national credit card again.
“While the House has proven that we are willing to take on the hard decisions that need to be made, this Administration seems far more interested in engaging in political theater. The President's threat to veto rather than embracing the pragmatic ideas of Cut, Cap and Balance continue this Administration's long-standing policy of putting politics above all else.”
