I’m headed to the floor soon to speak on this budget “deal.” You would think in an era of renewed trillion-dollar budgets, in an era of $22 trillion debts, you would think SOMEONE in this body or in this town would make a deal to CUT spending. Watch here: c-span.org/congress/?cham…
You can’t drain the swamp unless you shrink the size and scope of the government! c-span.org/congress/?cham…
What I’m offering for conservatives today is an alternative.

I proposed that instead of blowing up the budget that we pass my amendment that puts us on a path fiscal sustainability, beginning with a $70 billion reduction in 2020.
My amendment raises the debt limit by $500 billion IF Congress refers to the states for ratification a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution.

It is simple. Instead of raising spending by a lot, cut it by a few pennies on the dollar. 98% of government would be funded.
