President Obama's Budget Proposal

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, yesterday, President Obama
released his budget. Unfortunately, it is right out of the liberals'
tax-and-spend playbook.

Apparently, the President thinks that since he has already added $7.5
trillion to America's record $18 trillion debt, what is $8.5 trillion
more?

As chairman of the Social Security Subcommittee, I am also concerned
that President Obama has once again ignored the grim finances of Social
Security, and that is a shame because we cannot keep kicking the can
down the road. It is just not fair or right to the millions of
hardworking Americans who have paid into Social Security.

Mr. Speaker, contrary to what Obama likes to say in his speeches, too
many Americans are still struggling. The last thing this country needs
is more taxes, more spending, and more debt.

Americans want, need, and deserve better.
