WASHINGTON – U.S. Congresswoman Candice Miller (MI-10) today spoke on floor of the U.S. House of Representatives in support of the YouCut project:

“Madame Speaker, spending by this Congress is out of control. In the next few days our national debt will surpass $13 trillion. Today, the federal government borrows about 40 cents of every dollar it spends.

“The American people have been speaking out saying this out of control spending is not sustainable. They are very frustrated that Washington and the Democrat majority is not listening. House Republicans are listening. We have heard their voices.

“YouCut allows the American people to vote on specific spending cuts. We’ve had very 300,000 Americans voted the very first week. The goal of YouCut is simple and it should not be a novel concept on Capitol Hill. Stop spending and start cutting.

“The question again is will Washington listen? Can you hear them now? A no on the previous question will allow us to debate this spending cut put forward by the American people. Is that too much to ask?”
