WASHINGTON, DC – Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers (WA-05) released the following statement today after the House passed the Fiscal Year 2015 Budget.

“It is time to get America back to work, and by passing a responsible budget, House Republicans are working to boost wages and create jobs for everyone in this country. Eastern Washington families need relief, and our budget will put more money into their pockets and pave the way for an economy in which they can thrive. By cutting wasteful spending, this budget – one that balances in ten years – stops spending money we don’t have. Families in Eastern Washington and all across the country are forced to abide by their budgets, balance their checkbooks, and live within their means. It’s time for Washington, D.C. to do the same thing.”
