McConnell Statement on the President's Budget

Statement

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

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell issued the following statement regarding the President's budget:

"President Obama promised in the State of the Union to deliver a budget filled with "ideas that are practical, not partisan.' Unfortunately, what we saw this morning was another top-down, backward-looking document that caters to powerful political bosses on the Left and never balances--ever. The new Congress will focus on ways to help the Middle Class instead as we work to pass the serious kind of budget all Americans deserve: one that roots out and reforms wasteful spending, and that aims to grow Middle-Class jobs and opportunity instead of Washington's bureaucracy.

"We're asking the President to abandon the tax-and-spend ways of yesterday and join us in this practical and future-oriented approach."
