Congressman Michael C. Burgess (TX-26) voted in favor of the fiscal year 2004 Budget Resolution to protect America, strengthen the economy and create jobs, and promote fiscal responsibility. “This budget balances the budget and I am proud to support funding vital issues for next year,” said Congressman Burgess. “We have balanced spending and reduced deficits while giving Americans deserved tax relief. The fiscal year 2004 Budget Resolution is $2.248 trillion, an increase of 4.3% over last years budget. The budget protects America by funding America’s military and covers Operation Iraqi Freedom. The public’s health is protected from emerging threats of chemical, biological, or radiological agents in Operation Bioshield, with $5.6 billion set aside in a reserve fund. Americans will also receive $1,225.9 billion in tax relief over the next 10 years. Congress used spending restraints and worked to reduce the deficit caused by September 11th. This Resolution also balances the budget by 2012.
