Washington, D.C. — Congressman Eric Burlison (R-MO-07) announced the introduction of a Balanced Budget Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The proposal would prohibit the federal government from spending more than it takes in and establish a strict cap on the national debt. 

“Washington’s reckless overspending is irresponsible and pushing us closer to a devastating debt spiral,” said Rep. Burlison. “This amendment forces the federal government to live within its means—just like every American family has to.” 

WASHINGTON, D.C. – House Subcommittee on Economic Growth, Energy Policy, and Regulatory Affairs Chairman Eric Burlison (R-MO-07) today applauded the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) launch of President Trump’s Nuclear Reactor Pilot Program, which will fast-track deployment of advanced nuclear technologies and strengthen America’s energy leadership.

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Eric Burlison (MO-07) reintroduced the Freights First Act, legislation to reduce rail congestion near critical supply-chain hubs by prioritizing freight movement over passenger service within key logistics corridors.

Currently, under federal law (49 U.S.C. § 24308(c)), Amtrak enjoys statutory preference over freight railroads on shared tracks. This rule often creates unnecessary bottlenecks near ports and major rail yards.
