WASHINGTON, DC -- U.S. Rep. Hal Rogers (KY-05), Dean of the House, voted for the Fiscal Year 2025 Budget Resolution, providing budget levels through the year 2034. The bill instructs authorizing committees to find at least $1.5 trillion in mandatory savings over the next decade to prevent the largest tax hike in American history. 

“Despite the lies promoted by House Democrats, who have speculated where cuts will be made, we have no intentions of gutting Medicaid or other vital programs. However, we are on a mission to cut waste, fraud and abuse of taxpayer dollars, so that we can protect the future of programs like Medicaid for years to come," said Congressman Rogers. 

The resolution paves the way for extending and expanding President Trump’s 2017 tax cuts, such as the elimination of taxes on tips. It also authorizes up to $300 billion to boost our border security and national defense. 

"The budget resolution answers the mandate issued by the American people on Election Day to protect our borders, avoid tax increases, and to protect taxpayer dollars. This is the blueprint for a stronger American economy for everyone," said Congressman Rogers. 

The bill passed the House on Tuesday 217-215. The Senate also passed a separate budget resolution. The House and Senate will now work toward reconciliation on a budget deal.
