Griffith Statement on House Passage of Budget Resolution
Tuesday, February 25, 2025 – The U.S. House of Representatives voted and passed a budget resolution, H. Con. Res. 14 – Establishing the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2025 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2026 through 2034. This budget resolution now heads to the U.S. Senate for consideration.
Following passage of the budget resolution, U.S. Congressman Morgan Griffith (R-VA) issued the following statement:
“Contrary to bombastic scare tactics by Congressional progressives and their political allies, today’s vote on a budget resolution does not result in blocking Virginians’ access to health care, canceling social security benefits or taking food away from starving kids.
“This budget resolution lays out a blueprint for Congress to deliver on President Trump’s agenda. This blueprint will set the stage to secure our borders, save tax cuts that provide relief to Ninth District families, and unleash American energy dominance.
“I supported the budget resolution to pave the way for a conservative agenda and deliver for Ninth District communities.”

I think you voted to fund billionaires. You did that. there were no scare tactics. You walk the party line. The only way you continue to win elections is because of the (R) in front of your name and the ignorance of your voters. I hope you have the day you deserve.

This budget will increase an already bloated deficit. Millionaires like our Rep. will get tax decreases while the rest of us will have to fight to maintain our taxes. Mr. Griffith should defend his constituents rather than support his bosses, Musk and Trump

Well, cutting $880b from Medicare so that Republicans can give tax cuts to the wealthy and corporations is exactly what the House Republican budget does. And it is despicable.

There’s an opportunity to complain in person tomorrow Thurs 2-27-25 in Rocky Mount VA as Morgan Griffith aids will be ath Franklin County Govt building to meet with constituents. Exercise your right to speak out against rubber stampers like Griffith who believe billionaires should get tax cuts while the middle class gets ignored!

I’m wondering if any of the above critics of the new budget have read it. I haven’t. It was only passed last night. It sounds like a party line to me which I’ve heard on television. Sad.

In my life I have experianced how some people seen to loose who they are and where they came from.
It is like when you start to become influenced by the rich and powerful you forget about the little people in order to proliferate a life style of influence.
Such a shame one can not buy back your soul after that. Remember the man who tried it with the 30 pieces of silver!!!
