(Washington, D.C.) – Today, Council for Citizens Against Government Waste (CCAGW) President Tom Schatz released the following statement after the House of Representatives passed H. Con. Res. 71, the Senate budget resolution:

“We applaud the House for clearing the way for tax reform by passing the Senate’s budget resolution.  This action, as advocated by CCAGW and other taxpayer watchdogs, saves critical legislative time that will now be devoted to achieving the most groundbreaking tax reform in a generation. 

“Taxpayers have toiled under a broken tax system for more than three decades.  They should not have to wait one more day for Congress to act.  The time has come to make the tax code pro-growth, pro-taxpayer, and pro-American.”

The Council for Citizens Against Government Waste is the lobbying arm of Citizens Against Government Waste, the nation’s largest nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to eliminating waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement in government.
