Price Applauds Blue Dog Goal Of Balanced Budget

Washington, March 3, 2010 - Republican Study Committee Chairman Tom Price (R-GA) issued the following statement after Blue Dog Democrats introduced a balanced budget amendment.

“It’s wonderful to hear my colleagues in the Blue Dog coalition talk about fiscal responsibility,” said Chairman Price. “But talk is cheap. Last year, the Republican Study Committee offered a balanced budget on the House floor. Not a single Blue Dog voted for it. Neither did any other Democrat. Luckily, Democrats will get another chance to actually vote for fiscal responsibility when the RSC once again offers a balanced budget proposal later this year. With their newfound commitment to a balanced budget, I am eager to see all 54 of the Blue Dog Democrats vote for the RSC balanced budget.”
