Occurrences in the Congressional Record

Entry Title Date
Legislative Program February 11, 2011
Eric Cantor, R-VA
"I would say to the gentleman, 302(a) always was intended to be spending brought down to 2008 levels or less. And that is the intention of the bill that will come to the floor next week, H.R. 1, that we will abide by our commitment to reduce discretionary nonsecurity spending by $100 billion for the remainder of the fiscal year."
Reducing Non-Security Spending To Fiscal Year 2008 Levels Or Less January 26, 2011
Laura Richardson, D-CA
"H. Res. 38, the Budgetless Resolution, is a one-page document that makes the vague and simplistic goal of reducing federal spending to 2008 levels or less. Democrats are serious about deficit reduction. But we also must make sure that we continue on the path to economic recovery."
Reducing Non-Security Spending To Fiscal Year 2008 Levels Or Less January 25, 2011
David Dreier, R-CA
"I should say, Madam Speaker, that H. Res. 38 is literally one sentence, which says that this institution is committed to getting our level of spending to 2008 levels or less—or less, Madam Speaker—and I think it’s important for us to note that. "
Time To Reduce Spending To The 2008 Levels January 25, 2011
Joe Wilson, R-SC
"Mr. Speaker, this week the House will consider House Resolution 38, which promotes a reduction of current spending to the 2008 levels or less for the remainder of the fiscal year. This legislation seeks to cure the illness in Washington known as runaway spending."
Providing For Consideration Of House Resolution 38, Reducing Non- Security Spending To Fiscal Year 2008 Levels Or Less January 24, 2011
David Dreier, R-CA
"It is very important to note that we did have an amendment that was considered in the Rules Committee by Mr. Scott which actually brought us to lower levels. It said 2008 levels or less."
