Sessions Statement on President Trump's Proposed Budget

I released the following statement in response to President Trump's 2018 budget proposal:

As a fiscal conservative, one of my top priorities has always been to scale down our bloated budget and get our fiscal house in order. While I agree with some of the over-arching principles of President Trump's budget proposal - balancing in ten years, increasing spending for our men and women on the front lines, and reducing the deficit - the Constitution squarely places the power of the purse within the control of Congress.

My colleagues are already hard at work to put forth a budget that stimulates economic growth and eliminates wasteful programs. We must pass a budget that ensures our military has the resources they need to protect our nation both at home and abroad as well as fund programs that are critical to our communities. I look forward to working with my colleagues in Congress to responsibly fund our government and wisely use taxpayer dollars to put our nation back on the path towards fiscal stability.
