Newsletter: President Obama's Big Spending Budget

Statement

Year after year, President Obama submits an unworkable budget that taxes too much, spends too much, and never balances. This year's $4 trillion budget--unveiled on Monday--is more of the same. I'm committed to supporting an alternative approach--one where we balance the budget, stop runaway government spending, and grow a healthy economy from the bottom up.
