I do agree the country needs a budget. That is critical. But regrettably, the budget he has brought forward is not a good budget for this country. It is a budget that is inconsistent in many areas, but at its essence is the fact that it spends a lot more money, grows the size of the Government, increases taxes a great deal, increases the debt a great deal and, regrettably, does not address the most essential issue we face today, which is the fiscal meltdown this country is going to face when we put on our children the cost of the Government as we head into the retirement of the baby boom generation.
