President Obama's Latest Budget: More Taxes, More Spending, and More Debt

Statement

Date: Feb. 13, 2012
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Government Budget and Spending

Rep. Tom Graves (R-GA-09) issued the following statement in response to the release of President Obama's FY 2013 Budget:

"The President's latest budget sounds like the same old tune, stuck on repeat. More taxes, more spending, more debt. This budget proves yet again that Washington isn't listening to the American people's call for the government to fit back into the box it was intended."

"If President Obama was serious about getting our fiscal house in order, this budget would be light on taxes and would make a serious effort to rein in the wasteful Washington spending that now threatens the long-term health of our nation. Cutting spending today, capping spending in the future, passing a balanced budget amendment, and reducing regulations on our nation's job creators are the only ways to reignite the economy and get Americans back to work."
