Club for Growth President Chris Chocola: “After carefully reviewing the budget deal, on which we never commented until it was complete, we determined that it would increase the size of government.” 

Washington, DC – Today, the Club for Growth issued the following response to Speaker John Boehner’s comments on the budget deal: 

“We stand with Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Tom Coburn, Rand Paul, members of the Republican Study Committee and every other fiscal conservative who opposes the Ryan-Murray deal,” said Club for Growth President Chris Chocola. “After carefully reviewing the budget deal, on which we never commented until it was complete, we determined that it would increase the size of government. We support pro-growth proposals when they are considered by Congress. In our evaluation, this isn’t one of those.”
