Washington, DC - U.S. Representative Mike Rogers (R-AL), Ranking Member of the House Armed Services Committee, released a statement opposing the House Democrats' discretionary topline number the House will vote on today. The House Democrats' FY 2022 budget number cuts $16 billion from President Biden's budget but does not detail where that cut comes from:
'The House Democrats' budget number cuts $16 billion from President Biden's budget. President Biden's woefully inadequate defense budget already constitutes a cut of over $4 billion in real dollars. As the House authorization and appropriations process moves forward, not one cent of that $16 billion cut can come from national defense accounts.'
