Democrats’ New Budget Put Texans in The Red (Rep. John Carter)
As irresponsible as the enormous amount of unnecessary spending, the deliberate refusal to address the entitlement crisis is equally as irresponsible. It’s been said too many times without being heard-the Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid entitlement programs are quickly dying. Without immediate action by Congress, these programs will go belly-up in the next few decades, leaving millions of Americans without the Social Security and Medicare benefits they earned through years of hard work. The fact that Democrats foolishly ignore this issue is just another example of their fiscal irresponsibility.
Passing the Democrats’ budget will leave Americans with nothing but empty pockets and a crushed economy. You can bet that I will be working with Republicans and fiscally responsible Democrats to fight for a fiscally responsible budget resolution that balances the federal budget without raising taxes.
