Foster to lead budget deficit working group
From the Daily Chronicle
U.S. Rep. Bill Foster of Batavia and Rep. Bob Etheridge of North Carolina will co-chair the newly formed Budget Discipline Working Group, which will promote fiscally responsible policies that target federal spending and the reduction of the deficit and national debt.
The Budget Discipline Working Group was created within the New Democrat Coalition, according to a news release from Foster’s office.
“The New Democrat Coalition is a group of moderate, pro-business Democrats, many of whom have started or participated in a business before their elections to Congress,” Foster said in a written statement. “We understand that we are not going to have a healthy business climate until we get our fiscal house in order.”
