WASHINGTON – Overnight, the United States Senate approved a budget for fiscal year 2016. U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-Neb.) released the following statement regarding her vote:
“I’m pleased to support the Senate’s budget for 2016 – one that adheres to three basic rules: cut spending, balance the budget, and do it all without raising taxes.
“This budget forces Washington to live within its means – just as Nebraska families must do every day. To do this, our budget makes significant spending cuts over the next 10 years. It also ensures that taxpayer dollars are being used responsibly, so that each day we are moving our country forward – rather than adding burdens on our families.
“The American people have given elected officials a sacred trust – to be good stewards of their hard-earned tax dollars. This budget meets the government's core duties in a responsible manner.”
