Republicans introduce plan to balance the budget in 5 years.

[Missouri_Mike]

Where was this plan when President Trump had a GOP majority in Congress?

The majority wasn’t 60 and there was no way democrats were going to cut the spending. I’m sure you can remember them all over TV crying how we were all going to die.

House Republicans reveal answer to Biden's budget, say it could eliminate deficit in 5 years​

RSC Chair Banks says budget will help Republicans 'reclaim the mantle of fiscal responsibility'​

EXCLUSIVE – House Republicans on Wednesday are unveiling their answer to President Biden's 2022 budget, putting forward a document that they say can balance the federal budget in five years while cutting taxes by $1.9 trillion.

The summary of the proposal by the Republican Study Committee (RSC), first obtained by Fox News, would slash a litany of discretionary programs, reform federal programs like Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) into block grants, institute "zero-baseline budgeting," and more.

These cuts, combined with reduced regulations, increases in the retirement age for Social Security and eligibility age for Medicare, among other things, the RSC says, would bring the United States to a balanced budget in five years.

"The Democrats are introducing socialism and radically expanding the role of government, and in just a short amount of time, we’re already seeing the negative effects of their agenda on our economy. We're seeing a spike in the cost of living and slower than expected job growth. And this is just the beginning," Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind., the RSC chairman, said in a statement.

Oh Riiiiiiiiiiiiight!

I'm calling BS on their plan right now, never going to happen. Already just the interest on the debt those morons have wracked up cost us over $400 billion a year. That used to be the entire military budget.

It won't happen until we get a balanced budget amendment, and term limits.

I don't think there's any stopping it at this point. Between the $28 trillion in debt and another $100 trillion in unfunded government promised benefits we are f'ed. Government morons have spent over $40 trillion in just the past 10 years, not including state and local government spending. I look around and I don't see $40 trillion worth of value.

That’s fine. Start the bill and make the Democrats shut it down.

They didn’t because no party in power wants to curtail spending while they hold the purse.

Yeah, I look forward to dying before I can draw Social Security. Yet, government goons that are elected get retirement after they are not in office.

They is a strategy the GOP used on Oblama with the budget Reconciliation Act that sequestered govt. spending, along with the debt ceiling the GOP put in place with Oblama that the same legislature allowed Trump to bypass with a waiver when they gave wealthy people tax cuts..

In the trash can.

OK, we have the first debt loving Dimwinger chime in.

“I’m the king of debt. I’m great with debt. Nobody knows debt better than me,”
- Dmbass Tramp

Orange man spent ran it up 8 trillion in four years which is horrid. The invalid you voted for has already spent 3 trillion and still has 3 and a half years to go.

That’s exactly what they did. If people didn’t have such short memories you would remember Schumer shutting down the government because illegals were being cut out of the budget.

They need to slash their discretionary and alleged wars on crime, drugs, and terror first.

You should run for office on that platform.

TERRORISM FOR ALL!

The 152-member House Republican Study Committee (RSC) released its alternative budget last week, and it was both a doozy and a political gift to Democrats. In that vein, House Republicans are now proposing slashing spending by $14 trillion over the next decade in order to balance the federal budget. Apparently, House Republicans forgot they were also the party that helped Trump single-handedly add nearly $8 trillion to the national debt during his four years in office, which was also pretty unprecedented.

House Republicans—nearly three-quarters of whom signed off on this plan—definitely have electoral advantages heading into next year, their ideas aren't one of them.

because they increase spending when they do that it will never balance anything,,

 

[NightFox]

Fiscal responsibility is only a concern when the opposition is in power

All the members of both major crime families.. er. parties should have that tattooed on their foreheads. that way we won't have to post threads like this one anymore.

 

[Darkwind]

Over a decade is 12 years too long a time frame.

They need a budget that balances out by the end of 2024.

But they, like the Democrats, won't do anything to reduce government and balance a budget.

 

[Jets]

This is nothing but partisan gasconade. “Fiscal responsibility” is an oxymoron in Washington...
