President Obama went ahead and submitted a budget with no apparent interest in finding any kind of common ground. It is a sad testament to his go-it-alone legacy which has been more ideological than actually solution-oriented.
Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON D.C. Today on the Senate floor U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) discussed President Obamas $4 trillion budget proposal that will burden hardworking American families. Excerpts of Sen. Cornyns remarks are below and video of his speech can be found
here.
Rather than something that sends a signal that he wants to work with Congress it basically is more of the same: a $4 trillion budget that is unserious partisan and contains reckless spending. And in it he does include several new proposals proposals he knows will be dead on arrival here in the United States Congress."
At a time when our country is producing more energy domestically than it ever has and just beginning to export that energy to our friends and allies around the world the Presidents budget reveals that he has little interest in growing our energy independence and little interest in jump-starting our economy."
Instead the President makes these job-killing proposals which will just further burden hardworking American families along with the tepid growth that weve seen here in our own economy."
Rather than deciding to work with Congress and to listen to the concerns that have been raised by those hardworking American families President Obama went ahead and submitted a budget with no apparent interest in finding any kind of common ground. It is a sad testament to his go-it-alone legacy which has been more ideological than actually solution-oriented."
Senator John Cornyn a Republican from Texas is a member of the Senate Judiciary and Finance Committees.
