Vice-Chairman Kevin Brady Announces Joint Economic Committee hearing on “Spend Less, Owe Less, Grow the Economy” Report
(Washington, D.C.)— Republican members of the Joint Economic Committee of the U.S. Congress, led by Congressman Kevin Brady of Texas, will join their Democrat JEC colleagues in holding a hearing on how the United States can boost economic growth and job creation through the reduction of federal spending. The hearing, which will focus on the results of a recent economic report identifying the experiences of America’s global competitors in reducing their debt and its impact on their economies, will take place on Tuesday, June 21, 2011 at 2 p.m. in Room 1100 of the Longworth House Office Building.
In announcing the hearing, Vice-Chairman Brady stated, “America’s troubling economic recovery needs a fresh approach. Lawmakers in Congress must gain a deeper understanding of how other countries, our global competitors, have reduced their dangerous levels of debt and grew their economy in the short term by reducing spending and addressing unsustainable entitlement growth.”
