Braun, Young, Brady Introduce Bill to Cap, Cut, & Balance the Budget
WASHINGTON, D.C. – This week Senator Mike Braun, Senator Todd Young, and Congressman Kevin Brady (R-TX) introduced the Maximizing America’s Prosperity (MAP) Act:
“As a Main Street businessman, I believe we need to reduce runaway federal spending and address our national debt and the MAP Act provides Congress with the tools to accomplish this goal,” said Senator Braun. “This commonsense bill will cap federal spending, then cut any spending over the caps, which will ultimately lead to a balanced budget.”
Senator Todd Young (R-IN) said, “As a father of four young children, one of my greatest concerns is our nation’s skyrocketing debt being passed down to the next generation. We must get our fiscal house in order and rein in the true drivers of our debt. The MAP Act is a commonsense solution to help get us on the right track.”
“Washington doesn’t have a revenue problem, it has a spending problem; and the best way for Congress to approach this issue is by committing to smarter federal spending caps,” said Congressman Brady. “I introduced the MAP Act to put America’s budget back on a path to sustainable financial solvency. It is my hope that Congress can come together to pass this act swiftly and finally rein in federal spending.”
Both H.R. 3930 – the House legislation – and S. 2245 – the Senate legislation – have multiple cosponsors.
