All throughout the Fourth District, Kentuckians are asking Congress to establish fiscal responsibility. Some Congressmen are fighting to establish a responsible budget, but the Democratic leaders are only offering more spending, more taxes, and more debt. Washington doesn't have a revenue program or problem. It's got a spending problem. Just in the first 7 months of the current fiscal year, Congress has already run up an $800 billion deficit under the direction of Speaker Pelosi. If the House doesn't pass a budget, it will be the first time it has failed to do so since 1974. Congress is missing a critical opportunity to provide a responsible blueprint for the Nation's fiscal future and serve as a check and balance to an administration intoxicated by excessive spending. Congress must restore the ownership of the American Government back to its rightful owners, the American people. That's why House Republicans are creating major initiatives like YouCut and America Speaking Out. Both programs allow the American people to change the culture of spending in Washington and make the Federal budget the same as our families' budgets: Balanced. Stop the spending madness, and give our children back a real future.
