An alert from Citizens Against Government Waste:
The U.S. House of Representatives is right now beginning consideration of the fiscal 2005 Federal Budget. House Budget Committee Chairman Jim Nussle (R-Iowa) has proposed a budget resolution that would halve the budget deficit in four years by freezing non-defense, discretionary spending at fiscal 2004 levels and banning earmarks for pork-barrel projects for one year.
. . . Nussle's fiscal 2005 budget resolution . . . would hold the line on spending, avoid new tax increases, and make the recently passed tax cuts permanent.
Prohibiting any pork-barrel spending, new entitlements, and budget waivers and freezing or cutting spending on government programs wherever possible are not just prudent, but essential measures to restore fiscal discipline in Washington and eliminate the tide of red ink.
