Members of Congress Join President for Signing of Anti-Waste Bill
"For too long, taxpayer money has been wasted through fraud and abuse.  It's time to make our government work smarter and more efficiently for the American people.  With this important legislation, we are taking a page from Nevada families who are doing more with less.  Reforming an inefficient system will prevent billions of dollars from being thrown away each year."

Titus Supports Bill to Cut Government Waste and Change How Washington Works
“This legislation will provide the necessary oversight so that Congress can effectively determine if federal agencies are meeting their goals and using resources efficiently.  This will help us prevent millions of taxpayer dollars from being wasted and increase the effectiveness of federal programs and projects.”

Titus on Bill to Save Taxpayers Nearly $100 Billion on Improper Payments by Federal Agencies
 “For too long, taxpayer money has been wasted through fraud and abuse.  It’s time to make our government work smarter and more efficiently for the American people.  We need to take a page from Nevada families who are doing more with less.  Reforming an inefficient system will prevent billions of dollars from being thrown away each year.”

Titus: Blocking Congressional Pay Raise Sends a Message That We Are Changing the Way Business Is Done in Washington
"I am proud to be a cosponsor of this bill because I believe strongly that Members of Congress should not receive a pay raise when so many families in Nevada are struggling with job loss, homes that are underwater, and uncertainty about their economic future."

Titus Applauds Passage of Largest Investment in Student Aid in History
"The investments in this bill will help Nevada’s students and dislocated workers obtain the education and training they need to compete in the workforce, and it will do so in a fiscally responsible way.  With college costs rising, this landmark legislation will increase funding for Pell Grants and build a world-class community college system that will provide Nevada’s young people with a better education and less debt."

Titus Statement on Ban on For-Profit Earmarks
"The Appropriations Committee is applying a critical earmark reform that implements a standard that I have voluntarily been practicing since coming to Congress.  As Representative of Nevada’s Third District, I am committed to fighting on behalf of the needs of my constituents and my community."

Titus Testifies on Budget Priorities
"It is very clear to me that job creation must be the central focus of the 2011 budget resolution.  We need to put Americans to work in clean energy jobs and other emerging fields so that the United States can position itself as a leader in this global economy."

Titus Expresses Concern with Republican Plan to Privatize Social Security and Dismantle Medicare
"As we debate ways to responsibly reduce our nation’s deficit while investing in vital areas that will create jobs and grow our economy, it is troubling that Republicans are again turning to a plan that would privatize Social Security and dismantle Medicare.  Not only have these ideas already been soundly rejected by the American people, but as the deepest recession in a generation has shown us, having a guaranteed benefit of Social Security is critical for Southern Nevada’s seniors during a difficult economic time."

Titus Supports PAYGO Legislation to Restore Fiscal Responsibility
"After numerous attempts to reinstate PAYGO legislation, the House took a critical step today to restore fiscal responsibility and address our nation’s deficit.  The current fiscal path is unsustainable, and PAYGO will help prevent our current hole from getting deeper by requiring Congress to save a dollar in order to spend a dollar."

Titus Protects Seniors’ and Military Families’ Access to Doctors
“With this critical fix to the Medicare payment system, we will ensure that seniors and veterans will be able to continue to see the doctor whom they trust.  This legislation in conjunction with the health care reform bill that passed the House will strengthen Medicare and protect benefits for our seniors.”

Titus Supports PAYGO Rules to Promote Fiscal Responsibility
“Under PAYGO, the government can only spend a dollar if it saves a dollar elsewhere.  Just as Nevada’s families must stick to a budget and live within their means, so too must the federal government.  By reinstating PAYGO, this Congress will recommit to fiscal responsibility as we work to reduce our deficit and turn our economy around.”

Titus Cosponsors PAYGO Legislation to Restore Fiscal Responsibility
"During the 1990s, PAYGO rules helped bring down the deficit and fostered an environment of fiscal responsibility that led to economic growth and prosperity.  It is time to reinstate these rules once again in order to restore fiscal discipline."

Titus Joins Obama’s Call for PAYGO and Fiscal Responsibility
"I join with President Obama in calling for a return to PAYGO rules that will help bring our fiscal house in order.  Under PAYGO, which I have long supported, Congress can only spend a dollar if it saves a dollar somewhere else.  This is a principle Nevada’s families live by every day when they stick to their budget, and it is a principle this Congress must adhere to in order to address our long-term fiscal health."

Congresswoman Titus Cosponsors Legislation to Prevent Congressional Pay Raise
“Families are tightening their belts and too many hard-working Nevadans are desperate to find a job.  It is unconscionable that during this time of economic hardship that Members of Congress are scheduled to receive an automatic pay raise.  This important legislation will block the raise and send a message to the American people that this Congress is here to work for them, not enrich ourselves.”

Titus Continues Effort to Reform Washington with Bill to Reduce Cost Overruns and Save Billions
“The cost overruns that have been allowed to occur are staggering and must come to an end.  Today, the Congress took an important step that will save taxpayers billions of dollars and reform the way Washington does business."
