Issues: Government Budget and Spending

Rep. Todd Rokita released the following statement following the release of the Administration's budget.

"Our nation needs leadership and President Trump and Vice President Pence are providing it by submitting a budget that makes tough decisions--in other words, they lay out priorities. This Administration is striving to make our nation great, now it's Congress' time to embark on our Article I duties. We needs to stop spending and borrowing beyond our means from China. We need clear priorities like tax reform, protecting our seniors by ensuring states have access to Medicaid block grants, strengthening our infrastructure and economy, and rebuilding our military to confront grave foreign threats and keep Americans safe. Our children and future generations of Americans need us to do our job because they are the ones who will suffer. They will be crushed by our nation's debt if we do not take action now."
