Rep. Greens Statement on President Obamas FY 2014 Budget
Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON D.C. The Presidents budget has great ideas to create jobs by investing in education manufacturing infrastructure and small business success: said Congressman Gene Green (D-TX) in response to the FY 2014 budget introduced by President Obama today.
I also agree with simplifying our tax code and asking that wealthier Americans pay a fair share in taxes.
I cant stress enough though that singling out the oil and gas industry for tax hikes would only stifle job creation and drive up imports of crude oil from foreign nations that are hostile to us said Green.
Its not fair to penalize one specific industry unjustly much less one thats so critical to our nations economy.
I also do not support the negative impact that seniors would feel if the Social Security system were changed to use a chained Consumer Price Index to calculate cost-of-living-adjustments to the benefits that seniors have duly earned."
