WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Chairman Jodey Arrington (R-TX) made strong statements ahead of the House Budget Committee's markup of the concurrent resolution on the budget for Fiscal Year 2025.

Arrington expressed skepticism towards President Biden's upcoming address, stating, "Today, President Biden will try to convince the American people that the state of the union is good and our lives are better. They will be empty words from a 50-year politician." He further criticized the political climate, noting, "Political theatre and hollow rhetoric fail to meet this historic and consequential moment in the life of our nation."

In contrast to the skepticism towards the administration, Arrington highlighted the proactive approach of the Republicans on the Budget Committee, emphasizing, "Meanwhile, Republicans on the Budget Committee are taking action to pass a budget blueprint that will restore fiscal responsibility by reining in spending, reigniting economic growth, and putting our nation on a path to balance."

The House Budget Committee's FY 2025 Concurrent Resolution on the Budget aims to provide a roadmap towards fiscal responsibility, economic freedom, and prosperity for America. The resolution is positioned as a critical step in addressing the nation's financial future.
