Yesterday, the House and I passed H. J. Res. 77, which I co-sponsored, to disapprove giving President Obama another $900 billion in borrowing authority under the Budget Control Act.

Out-of-control spending got us into this economic mess, yet just weeks after averting a spending crisis and two years after his first $1 trillion stimulus failed to help employment or the economy, the President had the audacity to ignore that and come before Congress to ask his debt-reduction committee to find him more money to spend.

I can tell you, I have heard from many of you who aren’t buying it, and neither am I, which is why I voted for H.J. Res. 77.

The House has passed 12 bills this year waiting on action from the President and Senate that will create jobs now without spending more. That is how we must move forward to give Americans jobs, create certainty for small businesses, and help our economy recover.
