Conrad Pleased with Committee Passage of Budget (April 22, 2010)

Sen. Conrad released a statement applauding the Budget Committee for passing the FY 2011 budget resolution.

"I am very pleased the Budget Committee has now passed my budget plan - a plan that significantly cuts spending and deficits and begins to put the nation back on a sound fiscal course. It cuts spending as a share of the economy by 11 percent. It cuts the deficit as a share of the economy by 70 percent. It will bring the deficit down to 3 percent of GDP by 2015, a level economists believe will stabilize the federal debt relative to GDP. And in dollar terms, it cuts the deficit by $671 billion more than President Obama's budget.
