WASHINGTON, D.C. – House Budget Chairman Jodey Arrington delivered a “Fiscal State of the Nation” speech on the floor of the United States House of Representatives, issuing a rebuttal to President Biden’s proposed FY25 budget. Arrington criticized the President's budget, stating, “After three years of one self-inflicted disaster after another - border, crime spree, cost of living crisis, a more destabilized and dangerous world because of the weakness, the weak posture, the feckless foreign policies - we're supposed to believe somehow that life is better in America."
Arrington highlighted the impact of President Biden's budget on the nation's fiscal health, condemning the proposed increase in spending, borrowing, and taxing. He emphasized the need to address mandatory spending to avoid a dangerous and unsustainable fiscal path. Arrington pointed out the stark difference between the priorities outlined in Biden's budget and the Republican budget, stating, “Look at his priorities and look at ours. I think you'll understand that we choose economic freedom and fiscal responsibility and a bright future for our children."
In conclusion, Arrington expressed his concerns for the future of the country and the economic well-being of American families. He urged for a shift towards a more balanced budget to secure a prosperous future for the nation. Arrington ended his speech with a patriotic message, saying, “God bless America, and go West Texas."
