Conroe - U.S. Congressman Kevin Brady had one of the top five most ambitious federal spending cut agendas of the 111th Congress. According to the National Taxpayers Union Foundation just released BillTally, Brady's 14 spending cut bills in the 111th Congress had a total savings value of $282.6 billion.

"While a number of House Members had legislative agendas to reduce, rather than raise, spending in the 111th Congress, fewer still proposed to cut the budget by more than $200 billion," said Demian Brady, Senior Policy Analyst for the National Taxpayers Union Foundation. "If all lawmakers had sponsored agendas similar in savings to that of Congressman Kevin Brady’s, the federal budget deficit would likely be significantly lower than it is today."

"Our deficits and debt are so dangerous, we have to keep cutting every day," said the Congressman, whose bills repealed and defunded ObamaCare, reformed welfare and cut non-defense discretionary spending, including public broadcasting and subsidies.

"The truth of the matter is we could double everyone's taxes in America and still run a deficit," added Congressman Brady who recently released a report detailing how to grow the economy through spending and debt reduction. "We have to make tough choices now. If we are to get our country back onto a fiscally responsible path, nothing can be off the table."

The NTUF BillTally includes 1,654 U.S. House of Representative bills valued at or above $1 million. 

Congressman Brady is the top Republican on the Joint Economic Committee and a senior member of the House Ways & Means Committee.
