FROM: CONGRESSMAN DAVE CAMP, CHAIRMAN OF HOUSE WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE
On December 12, the House of Representatives passed, with a bipartisan vote, H.J.Res. 59, the two-year budget compromise negotiated by House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Senate Budget Chairwoman Patty Murray (D-WA). H.J.Res.59 reduces the deficit by approximately $23 billion without raising taxes.
Following the vote Camp said, “Today, I joined in a bipartisan vote for a two year budget that reduces the deficit and includes reductions in mandatory spending without raising taxes. This will give Congress the opportunity to work on serious solutions, like tax reform, to strengthen the economy so job creators can grow, hire and increase wages and address our long-term debt crisis.”
