Fischer Statement on President Obama's Budget Proposal

Statement

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

U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-Neb.) released the following statement this afternoon in response to President Obama's proposed budget for 2016:

"The budget released today by President Obama does nothing to balance our budget or curtail out-of-control spending. Instead of relieving burdens on families and fostering growth, the president has chosen to rely on tired ideologies and tax increases. This is deeply misguided and will only intensify the problems facing millions of American families.

"Here in the Senate, I will work with my colleagues to produce a fiscally responsible budget -- one that doesn't punish hard working Americans but instead balances our financial obligations without adding further to the debt that will be incurred by our children and grandchildren."
