“If we’re going to encourage business growth and market stability we must make the hard choices necessary to deal with our long-term debt issues. We can no longer afford to put these difficult choices off for future Congresses. Fiscal responsibility has always been a central tenant of the Blue Dog Coalition and that puts us in a perfect position to bring Republicans and Democrats together to forge a path back to surpluses through responsible fiscal policies.”
- Congressman Kurt Schrader, Chair, Blue Dog Task Force on Fiscal Responsibility
