WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Representative Larry Bucshon, M.D. (R-Ind.-08) voted in support of the Fiscal Responsibility Act which passed out of the House of Representatives on a 314-117 vote. 

“The Fiscal Responsibility Act is an important step towards changing the culture of spending in Washington. For far too long, Washington’s reckless debt-fueled spending addiction has been pushing our nation towards fiscal bankruptcy. Over the past two years, President Biden and Democrats in the House and Senate recklessly added trillions to our nation’s debt, setting off record high inflation rates and accelerating us down the path of fiscal insolvency. House Republicans are keeping our Commitment to America and that starts with this commonsense legislation. 

“The Fiscal Responsibility Act will cut government spending, claw back more than $28 billion in COVID-19 funds, reform infrastructure permitting rules to cut government red tape, and slash funding for President Biden to add new IRS agents. While there is more work that House Republicans must do to get our nation’s fiscal house in order, this is the beginning and not the end of our efforts to change the culture of spending in Washington. I am proud to support this bill and look forward to getting it signed into law,” said Dr. Bucshon.
