“I must say that the budget that we received yesterday and have looked through today making different points, it is astonishing, the math that is used. The budget doesn't add up, the numbers don't fit together, the lack of real fiscal responsibility, the tax increases on the middle class, the continued cutting of programs that are good for people, the lack of oversight over our war that is going on right now. It is frightening. It is frightening for everybody. There are several things that are wrong, though, that I would like to talk about. As I said, the numbers don't add up; they just don't come together. There are assumptions that are made that are unrealistic, and it provides us with an opportunity for real failure, more so than we have now. As Mr. Ross recently indicated, we are near $9 trillion right now in debt, and with everyone's share, with 300 million residents of America, we are looking at $29,000 per person. That is man, woman, child. Looking at this, it is unfortunate that under this budget proposal there are crucial investments that have been cut to programs that are important to people.”
