ICYMI: Rep. Burgess Joins Fox News Live

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Michael C. Burgess, M.D. (R-TX), Vice Chairman of the House Rules Committee, joined "Fox News Live" to discuss the Fiscal Responsibility Act.



Highlights: 

On Speaker McCarthy's negotiations: "I'm grateful for the work the Speaker did. I think we are in a much better place today than we were at the start of this Congress because of the work of the Speaker." 

On the Fiscal Responsibility Act"I would have never believed that there would be a hard 'you have to pass the appropriations bills by September 30, or you will get a 1% cut.' Now, I would have liked to see perhaps a little bit of a deeper cut than 1%, but okay, I'll take that. That's the first time Congress will have spent less money in the next year than it did the previous year. That's a big deal."
