FreedomWorks Cheers Re-Introduction of the Family Budget Protection Act

FreedomWorks President Matt Kibbe today joined other taxpayer groups to salute Representatives Mike Pence (R-Ind.), Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R.-Texas), Rep. Paul Ryan (R.- Wis.), Rep. Chris Chocola (R.-Ind.), and Rep. Christopher Cox (R.-Calif.) for reintroducing the Family Budget Protection Act.

FreedomWorks President Matt Kibbe commented:

“The big spenders in Congress benefit from the current haphazard budget process, using the complexity to push through special interest spending. That’s why this bill is so important– it puts down a conservative marker for budget reform. The legislation contains a number of provisions to make the spending process more transparent and rational. It would also cap the overall growth in government and change some of the procedural rules that make it difficult to pass pro-growth tax reform.

“It’s time to get spending under control, and the Family Budget Protection Act is a rational plan to help Congress make sensible spending decisions.

“The Members of the Republican Study Committee (RSC) Budget and Spending Taskforce should be commended for their hard work on this blueprint for reform. FreedomWorks and our 700,000 members nationwide will mobilize to encourage other Members of Congress to support this important legislation.”
