“Despite the American people’s clear demand for less spending, the President has drafted another budget that throws more fuel onto an already raging fiscal fire.”

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) released the following statement regarding President Obama’s FY2012 budget:

“What will it take to get the President’s attention about the fiscal crisis facing our nation?  Despite the American people’s clear demand for less spending, the President has drafted another budget that throws more fuel onto an already raging fiscal fire.  Instead of choosing to cut spending, he has chosen to spend, tax and borrow again.  Leadership requires difficult decisions – not just tough talk.  I will continue to fight for less spending and more fiscal restraint in Washington.”
