Well, I believe the work we have done this week to boost our Nation's economy, support our national defense, and expand opportunity for hard-working families is work truly worth doing. The budget we have been debating in the Senate this week will boost the Nation's economic growth by more than $500 billion over the next 10 years, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. It also will balance the budget in 10 years, with no tax hikes, protect the Nation's most vulnerable citizens, strengthen America's national defense, and improve economic growth and opportunity for hard-working families. This budget's economic growth dividend means that more jobs will be created across the country in all 50 States. In fact, the Senate Budget Committee estimates that nationwide there will be more than 1.3 million additional jobs in 2025. And this is only the spending reductions included in this budget. If the Senate takes the additional step and adds the recommended tax and regulatory reforms to these spending reductions, the economic and job benefits will be even bigger. This balanced budget is an important first step to help Washington live within its means, just as hard-working families have to do every day.
