“If budgets are a statement of your values backed up by dollars, then this President’s priorities are sorely out of whack.
“The President is cutting money for veterans, child support enforcement, Medicare, student loans and food stamps so he can cling to deficit-exploding wasteful tax policy without giving one dime in tax relief to the 19 million middles class families who will pay higher taxes next year.
“I applaud the military pay raise and the President’s newfound interest in clean energy and America’s competitiveness. They are areas of reason in 2,400 pages of mess.
“This budget hurts America’s seniors, veterans, students and working poor. It undermines the values of compassion, community and responsibility that define the best of America.”
