Amodei Statement on House Budget Resolution

Washington, D.C. – Rep. Mark Amodei issued the following statement after voting in favor of H. Con. Res. 14, a budget resolution which lays the groundwork for the Budget Committee to pass one bill that delivers on the President’s full agenda. 

“The biggest threat standing in the way of American prosperity is ourselves. Our national debt has surpassed $36 trillion, an unsustainable path that is sabotaging the future of our nation for generations to come," said Rep. Mark Amodei. "A huge contributor to that debt was the result of the last administration’s spending spree of taxpayer dollars to implement an agenda that failed to serve the American people.

"The House passed a comprehensive blueprint that prioritizes identifying areas to invest and areas to save. The blueprint outlines that we will invest in our safety and independence by prioritizing border security, national defense, and domestic energy production. It also outlines that we will identify any opportunities for savings, and the obvious first step is rooting out any abuses of taxpayer dollars in the federal government and rolling back burdensome Biden-era policies.

"While some have used their time distorting the truth about this resolution, Republicans have prioritized designing the playbook to put our country back on track. 

"This resolution lays the groundwork for putting more money in the pockets of everyday Americans by establishing a responsible, common-sense financial plan. It is an opportunity for us to restore our dominance on the world stage, make the federal government more efficient for all Americans, and ensure the long-term stability of our democracy.”
