WASHINGTON, D.C. – Wednesday, U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE), celebrated the steps the Senate is taking to deliver on President Donald Trump’s policy priorities. He made the following comments while on a conference call with Nebraska media:
“Last week, I voted to pass a budget resolution that helps fulfill President Trump’s promise to deliver prosperity and security. This resolution unlocks the reconciliation process. It instructs the committees of jurisdiction to allocate funds and find savings to support the President’s agenda. It creates a savings floor, not a ceiling,” said Ricketts. “That maximizes our ability to cut wasteful spending. Some of the procedure may seem complicated, but the bottom line is clear. We’re taking steps to secure the border, lower taxes, rebuild our military, and unleash American energy.”
“Americans elected President Trump to secure the border, restore American strength, and unleash American energy. This resolution is the blueprint to deliver on those priorities,” continued Ricketts. “It provides a framework to secure the border. It puts us on the path to stop a harmful tax increase. It lays the groundwork for critical new funding for our warfighters to improve readiness. It will also help unleash American energy production. This is how we will help President Trump deliver prosperity and keep Americans safe.”
