Langevin Supports PAYGO Act

Jim Langevin's House Member Office (D-RI-02) posted a Floor/Committee Statement on February 4, 2010 | 8:00 am - Original Item - Comments (View)
I rise in support of the Statutory PAY-AS-YOU-GO Act. This bill, which I am proud to co-sponsor, will help restore fiscal discipline by enacting into law the most basic principle of responsible accounting – every dollar spent must be offset by a dollar earned or saved. This is the way American families balance their finances, and the same principle should apply to the federal budget.

Madam speaker, I rise today in support of the Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2009 and I would like to thank Chairman Lipinski for his efforts to bring this important bill to the floor. In today’s interconnected world, the American people expect their government’s networks to have the same level of access and efficiency as the private sector. Further, building a more transparent and effective government requires leveraging new technologies to strengthen coordination between our Federal agencies, in addition to strengthening our communications with the citizens of our nation. To achieve these goals, it is critical that our Federal networks and information systems are safe and secure.

Langevin Disappointed with Campaign Finance Ruling

The Supreme Court’s ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission is extremely disappointing. By ending restrictions on corporate campaign expenditures, today’s decision was a setback to the fundamental concept that our democracy should be based on the power of ideas and not the power of money.
