Deficit Commission Should Focus on Spending Reductions, Not Tax Hikes

Statement

U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell made the following statement on Thursday regarding the President's deficit commission:

"The American people are deeply concerned by the amount of money politicians in Washington have been spending and they want us to get a handle on spending without raising taxes. After trillions in new and proposed spending, Americans know our problem is not that we tax too little, but that Washington spends too much--that should be the focus of this commission."
