Tired of the run away spending in Washington? Concerned we are spending ourselves off a cliff?  Me too, that’s why I feature this regular installment on YouCut,  an interactive way for YOU the taxpayer to get involved in the budget process.  YouCut allows you, the citizen, to cast an online vote to let your voice be heard by stopping the runaway spending in Washington.

You can read all my previous YouCut posts here. 

This is the latest from Rep. Eric Cantor:

Last week's winning YouCut item, championed by Rep. Allen West, reduces the printing budget for the Department of Defense by ten percent. As promised, this week we brought this proposal to the House floor for a vote, where I am pleased to report that it passed overwhelmingly.

The next three items are already up on the YouCut website; click here to cast your vote, and we will bring the winning item up to the House floor for a vote.

The federal government borrows nearly 40 cents of every dollar it spends, and is over $14 trillion in debt. We cannot keep spending money that we don't have. House Republicans will lead by reducing spending and providing commonsense solutions to our country's fiscal crisis.

We must hold firm to make sure that Washington begins to live within its means, so that we can continue our focus on growing the economy, creating jobs, and getting people back to work.

Regards,

Rep. Eric Cantor
Majority Leader
