This is the first ten-year balanced budget passed since 2001. It balances without raising taxes on hardworking Michigan families and it keeps the promises that have been made to seniors in the Fourth District. This budget also calls for tax reform. The tax code is 74,000 pages long and has not been overhauled in 29 years. It’s time for a simpler and fairer system.

For many in Michigan’s Fourth Congressional District, the American Dream is to build a family farm or business and pass it on to their sons and daughters. Repealing the Death Tax makes it easier for Americans to realize that dream. The Death Tax often forces family farms to sell land and equipment to pay their tax bill. This is unacceptable. Death should never be a taxable event.

“This is a balanced budget for a stronger America. Recently, the president proposed a $4 trillion budget that never balances. The House Republican budget balances within ten years and keeps the promises that have been made to our seniors. It observes bipartisan spending caps and charts a sustainable fiscal course for the future of our country. By reducing Washington’s spending, the budget will boost our slow-growing economy, creating jobs and raising wages.”
