U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) made the following statement today after President Obama released his proposed Fiscal Year 2011 budget:

"With an emphasis on creating jobs through investments in infrastructure, clean energy, education and tax cuts for businesses, this budget will help put California and our nation back on track. It also includes targeted spending cuts that will put us on a path of fiscal responsibility.

"This budget represents the priorities I have been working on as part of the leadership team in the Senate that is putting together the new jobs initiative, which will include investments in infrastructure and incentives to help small businesses create jobs.

"While I may disagree with the President on some line-item cuts, I fully agree with the thrust of his budget -- creating jobs, jumpstarting our economy and taking important steps toward fiscal responsibility."
