Corker Votes to Debate Budget Proposals To Address "Out-of-Control Spending"

  • Wednesday, May 25, 2011

Senator Bob Corker today voted to proceed with debate on budget proposals offered by U.S. Representative Paul Ryan and U.S. Senator Pat Toomey.

“The budget proposals offered by Paul Ryan and Pat Toomey aren’t perfect, but they are serious attempts to address out-of-control spending and unsustainable federal debt and to limit the size of government. And they should be debated and amended,” said Senator Corker.

He added, “It is disappointing that the Senate majority leader has totally abdicated his basic responsibility to produce a budget and instead has chosen to demagogue those who have.”
