From the Chairman
Over the last few months, House Republicans have changed the debate in Washington. The question is no longer, “Will we cut spending?” The question is, “How much?” Still, Democrats running the Senate and the White House have prevented more than a good first step on cutting spending. It is time to shift the conversation from billions to trillions.
Later this week, the House will debate the 2012 budget proposal written by Rep. Paul Ryan and the House Budget Committee, which lays out a path that would save endangered programs like Medicare and get control over the raging national debt. At the RSC, we have built on the Budget Committee’s good work and shown what it will take to achieve a balanced budget in less than 10 years.
Washington’s massive deficits were not created overnight, and it will take time to get America back on stable fiscal ground – an essential part of safeguarding our future. The RSC Budget turns trillion-dollar deficits into a budget surplus in nine years. It is a blueprint that will require lawmakers with the discipline to do the right thing – even when it’s the hard thing. Washington cannot keep spending money it doesn’t have. Our future depends on it.
God Bless,
Congressman Jim Jordan
Chairman, Republican Study Committee

Hopefully Paul Ryan is a political heavy weight for conservatives in the making.
