Senator Paul Statement on House Passage of Cut, Cap and Balance Act

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Following the passage of the Cut, Cap and Balance Act tonight in the House of Representatives, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) issued the following statement:

“Tonight the U.S. House of Representatives voted with the voice of the American people in supporting the Cap, Cut and Balance Act. The gravity of our debt crisis weighs heavy on our nation’s shoulders, and I commend my colleagues in the House for passing legislation that leads us toward a solution. They have now passed the only current legislation that would both raise the debt ceiling and fix our debt problem.

“I implore my Senate colleagues to follow the same path in voting in favor of this bill, and for the President and his Administration to stop playing games with this matter and support the important goal of defeating our debt and balancing our budget.”
