House Democratic Budget Receives Broad Support

Today, the House began consideration of the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for FY 2010. Cutting the deficit, making a down payment on health care reform, investing in energy independence, and reforming education are critical to the long-term economic prosperity of our nation. To address these challenges and to build on the job-creating investments in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the House Democratic budget makes targeted investments in health care, energy, and education. Experts agree: these are critical investments that cannot wait.
