Mr. DAINES. Mr. President, I join Senator Cassidy of Louisiana,
Senator Gardner of Colorado, and Senator Cotton of Arkansas in
introducing the Balanced Budget Accountability Act. By establishing the
principle No Balanced Budget, No Pay, this legislation will bring
fiscal responsibility to Washington. The American people deserve a
balanced budget. Unfortunately, Washington remains unwilling to take
the steps needed to get our country back on solid fiscal ground. The
Balanced Budget Accountability Act reflects core principles that work:
common sense business practices that protect hardworking taxpayers and
making elected officials accountable for delivering results to the
people they serve. It is what Washington needs to finally balance the
budget.
