Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON D.C. After a long and arduous wait for legislation addressing the federal debt ceiling and budget Congressman Green released the following statement regarding his vote on passage of Senate bill 365 the Budget Control Act of 2011."
I voted in favor of the debt ceiling compromise today because it satisfied the most important problems at hand: raising the debt ceiling so our country doesnt default and negatively affect our economy and safeguarding some of our most important government programs like Medicare Medicaid Social Security and Pell grants from immediate cuts.
Under this plan these vital programs will also not be threatened or used as bargaining chips to force us to approve any future plans created by the bipartisan Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction that is formed by this bill.
I can assure my constituents and our nation that I will never vote to endanger our seniors veterans students or those in need by dismantling these important programs."
