WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today Congressman Mo Brooks (R-AL) voted for the Ryan Budget, the Fiscal Year 2013 Budget Resolution. Brooks said, “A balanced budget is critical to America’s future because it reduces financial risk and increases economic opportunity. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the Ryan Budget balances in 10 years, without raising taxes; Ryan’s Budget moves America in a financially responsible direction. While I prefer a quicker balanced budget, and have voted that way, after an alternative four-year balanced budget plan failed to muster sufficient votes, the Ryan Budget was the only budget left that even pretended to balance in the future.”

Congressman Brooks is a member of the House Armed Services Committee, where he serves on the Strategic Forces and Oversight and Investigations Subcommittees. He is Vice-Chair of the Science Subcommittee, of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, and a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
