More on Spending Cuts and Debt
Today, Congressman Luke Messer introduced legislation that would require the annual budget submission of the President to Congress to include the cost-per-taxpayer of the deficit for each year the budget is projected to be in deficit. The legislation is the first bill Messer has sponsored as U.S. Representative.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
It is an honor and a privilege to stand here as president of the Republican freshman class with my new colleagues to highlight the importance of the upcoming debt-ceiling debate and the need to get serious about addressing the out-of-control borrowing and spending that is jeopardizing the American Dream for our children and grandchildren.
(Washington, D.C.)— Tonight, Congressman Luke Messer led a Special Order with the Freshman Republican Class on the need to cut spending and the looming debt ceiling. Messer, President of the Republican Freshman Class, began the Special Order saying, “The fundamental question Congress needs to answer is whether Washington should take more than it already does from these hard-working, tax-paying Americans. The answer, of course, is no. Washington doesn’t tax too little. It spends too much.”
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to urge the President and Congress to get serious about addressing the out-of-control borrowing and spending that is jeopardizing the American Dream for our children and grandchildren.
So much for fiscal responsibility. The last Congress raised taxes to avoid falling off the fiscal cliff because they failed to come together on belt-tightening measures to avoid automatic tax increases and spending cuts agreed to in 2011. Their decision cost taxpayers about $4 trillion and put off scheduled spending reforms for at least several months.
