Paul Broun: “My amendment would reduce funding for the administrative expenses for the Maritime Guaranteed Loan program by $10,000.…”

“My amendment would reduce funding for the administrative expenses for the Maritime Guaranteed Loan program by $10,000. That's all. It doesn't sound like much, but it freezes spending at the current levels. I believe very firmly that we ought to cut spending in this House. We've cut our MRAs, our own operating accounts for our own administrative expenses by 11 percent. What this amendment does, it freezes at the current fiscal year '12 levels. It is a minor amount of money to most folks, but still, $10,000 is a lot of money to this old Georgia boy. So I urge adoption of my amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.”
