Hill: President's Budget 'More of the Same'

Statement

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

Congressman French Hill (AR-2), a member of the Financial Services Committee, released the following statement today in response to President Obama's 2016 budget proposal:

"President Obama's budget proposal is more of the same failed policies that the American people rejected in November's election. The President's top-down approach would increase taxes, spending, and our national debt, while never balancing the federal budget and allowing Social Security and Medicare to go bankrupt. This plan will saddle future generations with an exploding national debt. Thankfully, Congress controls the power of the purse -- not the President, and I am committed to implementing common sense reforms that will eliminate wasteful government spending, achieve greater accountability, promote economic success for all Americans, and empower Arkansans and Americans -- not Washington."
