WASHINGTON, DC – House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) issued the following statement on President Obama’s Fiscal Year 2015 budget proposal.
“After years of fiscal and economic mismanagement, the president
has offered perhaps his most irresponsible budget yet. American
families looking for jobs and opportunity will find only more
government in this plan. Spending too much, borrowing too much, and
taxing too much, it would hurt our economy and cost jobs. And it offers
no solutions to save the safety net and retirement security programs
that are critical to millions of Americans but are also driving our
fiscal imbalance.
“In the president’s vision for our future, America’s budget
never balances – ever. After dramatically expanding entitlement
programs, the president now believes our entirely predictable long-term
debt crisis is the next president’s problem. Despite signing last
year’s bipartisan budget deal – and touting it as an accomplishment –
the president now proposes violating that agreement with a spending
surge. What’s more, he proposes raising even more taxes – not to reduce
the deficit but to spend more taxpayer money.
“This budget is a clear sign this president has given up on any
efforts to address our serious fiscal challenges that are undermining
the future of our kids and grandkids. In the coming weeks, Republicans
will produce a responsible budget that balances, promotes opportunity,
reforms our tax code, saves our critical safety net programs, and
places a priority on creating jobs, not more government.“ |
