Committee for a Responsible Budget Urges Congress to Find Budgetary Savings

WASHINGTON, DC -- The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget applauded efforts in the House and Senate to proceed with reconciliation legislation achieving savings in mandatory spending programs for the first time in eight years, while calling on Congress to impose discipline on the revenue side of the budget as well.

The Committee has suggested that Congress proceed with at least the level of planned spending reductions in the budget resolution and preferably increase the level, as the House is considering, while holding off on the tax cuts planned for this year. This would do significantly more to improve the budgetary situation than the existing budget resolution.
