“The most feared words in the English language are 'I am from the Federal Government, and I am here to help.'... This budget puts us on a tax-and-spend budget, which is really the worst of both worlds. It dramatically grows the size of Government over the next 5 years. This is not just 1 year, this is a 5-year budget, and it contemplates a record increase in taxes and explodes the debt. It contemplates the largest tax hike on the middle-class families and farmers and entrepreneurs in our Nation's history-- about $736 billion over the next 5 years. Unfortunately, this tax increase will take place without a vote of the Congress because what it will do is take advantage of expiring temporary tax relief we passed back in 2003 which has produced an economic explosion in this country and the creation of about 7.8 million new jobs just over the last 4 years. We all know this tax relief has helped the economy grow and create jobs.”
