Santorum Reacts To The Passage Of House Debt Reduction Package
Urbandale, IA - Former Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) made the following statement in reaction to Speaker Boehner's debt reduction proposal and the continued debt limit stalemate:
"I commend Speaker Boehner on his efforts, and I strongly believe we must be focused on two primary goals in this debate - balancing the budget and limiting the size and scope of government. The only way to truly accomplish this over the long-term is to pass a Balanced Budget Amendment to our Constitution," said Senator Santorum. "The Democratic controlled Senate knows that's the only ironclad way to stop government growth and spending once and for all - and that's why they and the President quickly promise to defeat it before they even read it. While I am willing to accept compromise on the edges to accomplish these firm and finite goals, we must not cave on the principle of the Balanced Budget Amendment."
