House Budget Committee GOP

House Budget Committee GOP U.S. House of Representatives Committee on the Budget. Chairman Rep. Jodey Arrington (R-TX) House of Representatives.

Established during an era of unprecedented institutional reform in Congress, the Committee on the Budget’s function derives from the constitutional mandate that fixes control of the nation’s purse in the U.S. Although Congress has always possessed the legal authority to exercise power over federal appropriations, a formal institutional mechanism to manage taxes and spending did not exist until 197

4. Three developments precipitated the need for a formal mechanism: increasing conflicts between Congress and the President over the federal budget; the challenge of managing long-term programs such as Social Security and Medicare; and budget deficits in the latter 20th century. The committee originated in 1974 with the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (PL 93-344), which permitted Congress to develop an independent means to analyze the Presidential budget, reconcile it with congressional plans, and develop a fiscal policy of its own. The act established permanent standing budget committees in both houses of Congress, as well as a Congressional Budget Office to provide Congress with independent, nonpartisan analyses. Unlike its Senate counterpart, the House Budget Committee has a larger membership (36 in the House compared to 23 in the Senate); ratios are determined at the beginning of every Congress based on party strength. The committee handles broad questions about federal spending and taxation and ensures that the House follows the 1974 law. Learn more about the Budget Committee → http://budget.house.gov/about/

The federal government borrows $6 billion every day - of which over $3 billion is solely for interest payments on our national debt.

But Republicans are addressing this crisis. For the first time in over a decade, outside the pandemic, the deficit as a percentage of GDP has DECREASED year over year, and we’re not done yet.

Reconciliation 3.0:

✅ Modernizing our military.

✅ Supporting our troops.

✅ Making life more affordable for Americans.

✅ Paying for it all with President Trump’s “War on Fraud.”

Reconciliation 3.0 is going to be targeted—modernizing our military, supporting our troops, making life more affordable for Americans, and paying for it all with President Trump’s “War on Fraud.”

The GAO says there’s as much $500 billion in fraud in just one year. That’s trillions of dollars in savings over the 10 year budget window.

Let’s get it done.

Yesterday, President Trump and Republicans fully funded U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and US Customs & Border Protection providing our men and women on the front line the funding they need to do their jobs safely.

But our work isn’t over—with a third reconciliation package, we can attack fraud, support our troops and modernize our military, and address the residual affordability issues left by the Biden-Harris administration.
