Congressman Steve Womack has proudly represented the Third District of Arkansas since his election in 2010. He is currently a senior member of the powerful House Appropriations Committee, where he is the Ranking Member of the Financial Services and General Government (FSGG) Subcommittee and also sits on the Defense and Transportation, Housing and Urban Development (THUD) Subcommittees. He formerly served as the Chairman of the House Budget Committee and has been on the Republican Whip Team since his arrival in Congress.
For too long, Washington has failed to address the problems presented by entitlement programs – the driving force behind our debt. When I was elected, I made a promise to represent the people of the Third District, and I refuse to stand by and continue to allow these programs to run inefficiently.
Social Security has long been considered a political “don’t.” However, I believe it is time for Congress to come to the table and have an adult conversation about reforming Social Security. If we act now, we can save benefits for current recipients and fix it so that it will be around for future generations.
