Myrick’s Statement on FY 2005 Budget |

| (Washington, D.C.) – Today, President George W. Bush presented his Fiscal Year 2005 Budget to Congress. U.S. Representative Sue Myrick (NC-9) issued the following statement regarding the budget:
“Today President Bush presented his Fiscal Year 2005 budget. His budget proposes a number of program deductions and terminations. While he showed restraint in several areas, the total spending is still too high. My RSC colleagues and I will continue to work with the President to reduce spending on existing programs, and eliminate duplicitous, obsolete, and non functioning programs. Hard working Americans have to watch their spending and so should Congress. Congress has got to get in the mindset of spending less. I will continue to remind my colleges in Congress of Americans who expect us to be responsible with their tax dollars,” said Myrick. ### |
