Drip, Drip, Drip

Last week's winning YouCut item, championed by Representative Allen West, reduces the printing budget for the Department of Defense by ten percent. As promised, this week we brought this proposal to the House floor for a vote, where I am pleased to report that it passed overwhelmingly.

The next three items are already up on the YouCut website; click here to cast your vote, and we will bring the winning item up to the House floor for a vote.

The federal government borrows nearly 40 cents of every dollar it spends, and is over $14 trillion in debt. We cannot keep spending money that we don't have. House Republicans will lead by reducing spending and providing commonsense solutions to our country's fiscal crisis.

We must hold firm to make sure that Washington begins to live within its means, so that we can continue our focus on growing the economy, creating jobs, and getting people back to work.

Regards,

Representative Eric Cantor
House Majority Leader
