Rep. Fleischmann Responds to President's Proposed Budget

Statement

Date: Feb. 2, 2015
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Government Budget and Spending

Rep. Chuck Fleischmann released the following statement in response to President Obama's proposed budget for FY2016.

"Much like in his State of the Union speech, the President has taken an opportunity to work with Congress and turned it into a partisan game. This budget would increase spending by $2.4 trillion, never balances and simply isn't a real option. As Tennessee's sole House Appropriator, I will use my oversight responsibility to comb through the President's request and ultimately make sure taxpayer dollars are spent wisely and responsibly."
