Gardner: This is a missed opportunity
Fort Collins, Colorado- For the first time since the Congressional Budget Act was adopted in 1974, Congress will not pass a budget, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer confirmed today. The lack of a budget will mean Members of Congress will avoid a politically treacherous vote in the middle of an election year on the record trillion-dollar deficit facing the country.
“Our economy is mired in a deep recession while government spending is out of control. This is not the time to shirk from the most basic responsibility of governing and passing a budget,” said State Representative Cory Gardner. “This is a missed opportunity. Instead of passing a budget that reins in government spending and implements the fiscal discipline necessary to spur the economy and create job growth, Congresswoman Betsy Markey is putting politics above the American people.”
Cory Gardner is a native of Yuma, Colorado where he helps to run the family business. He is currently serving the 63rd District in the Colorado House of Representatives. He and his wife Jaime live in Yuma with their daughter Alyson.
