Cole Statement on Defense Strategy Announcement
Rep. Tom Cole (OK-04) released the following statement after President Obama announced new defense strategy priorities in remarks at the Pentagon: "These changes will make America weaker, not stronger. We are cutting defense spending and the size of our armed forces because the Obama administration is overspending in other areas, not because we have a military that is too large or overfunded. "We still live in a very dangerous world that won't be safer with fewer American soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines. Moreover, the reductions in the size of our ground forces will force the United ...

Cole Statement on HHS Secretary Price Resignation Washington, D.C. - Congressman Tom Cole (OK-04) released the following statement after Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price's resignation. "I respect the decision Secretary Price made," said Cole. "He did the right thing for the Administration and for his family." "However, it is hard to lose such an important figure at this critical time. Natural disasters always create a health care crises in their wake. That is especially true with respect to Puerto Rico, where the devastation makes it difficult to provide for our citizens with even the most basic health care services." "While I have great confidence in the professional staff at HHS, I think it is important to get a new secretary to lead the department as quickly as possible." ### Contact: Teresa Davis (202) 225-6165 |
Tax Relief for All Americans In 1986, then President Ronald Reagan introduced a sweeping plan to reform our nation’s tax system, and it worked. It simplified the outdated tax code which opened the door for individual prosperity and spurred economic growth. It also became one of the highlights of his presidency. Since then, our society has grown and the value of the U.S. dollar has changed. The working middle-class taxpayer today probably does not have the same priorities as they did in 1986. After five different administrations following Reagan, our country has yet to see a major overhaul of our tax system to fit the needs of every class of Americans. It’s time that we adjust, simplify and reform our broken tax code. Last week, House Republicans, the Trump Administration and the Senate Finance Committee unveiled the structure and framework for a tax system that fits the 21st century. It is a plan that will deliver economic growth, incentivize the American taxpayer, provide relief for small businesses and |

Res. 71, the Fiscal Year 2018 Budget Resolution. It passed by a vote of 219-206 with Cole’s support. “It is a fundamental responsibility for Congress to establish a budget and set forth spending levels in order for our government to continuing functioning for its citizens.

I look forward to action in the Senate that allows us to go to conference and reach a bicameral agreement.” ### Contact: Teresa Davis (202) 225-6165 |
