The battle of the budget is underway in the House of Representatives as Republicans push major spending cuts in an effort to restore some fiscal sanity and Democrats accuse the GOP of abandoning women and children in the process. Texas Rep. Bill Flores unseated an incumbent Democrat last year due in large part to concern over our debt and expansion of government. So now that he’s finally in the fight, what does he hope to achieve? What does he hope to bring from his days as a chief financial officer in the private sector to his work on Capitol Hill? Why is he underwhelmed at the Obama budget? What can we expect from the GOP budget proposal? And is either side really ready to take on the thorny issue of entitlement reform? We discuss it all with Rep. Flores, a member of the House Budget Committee.
