Political Quotes

For the fourth year in a row, of course President Obama's budget fails to seriously address our Nation's debt crisis and calls for higher taxes and increased stimulus spending. This budget punishes small businesses, job creators, and seniors at the expense of the administration's spending addiction. This is not a recipe for long-term economic growth. Instead, we need credible solutions that simplify the Tax Code, control Federal spending, and preserve valuable services for our seniors. Washington should create a win-win situation for all Americans. The House continues to take these steps with jobs bill after jobs bill that will put people back to work and allow job creators and entrepreneurs to grow. Unfortunately, the President's budget spends too much, taxes too much, borrows too much, and picks the winners and losers of our economic recovery. This is not what America needs right now. ____________________
