100 days into his presidency President Obama and the liberal Congress have spent more than $1.6 trillion. Their policies have created the highest spending levels since World War II and exploded our national debt to $11 trillion. This is just the first 100 days we still have 1362 left in President Obamas first term.
To mark the presidents first 100 days in office House Democrats rushed through a partisan budget that reflects President Obamas priorities. I voted against this budget because it raises taxes contains record deficits for the foreseeable future and raises the national debt by $2 trillion this year alone. We are a nation in debt and cannot continue writing checks when our bank account is overdrawn. American families do not budget this way and neither should the federal government.
The fact is we could not afford the first 100 days of President Obamas reckless spending and we certainly cant afford more of the same. I believe it is time to start letting Americans keep more of what they earn and for the government to spend less. By taking these steps our economy will experience the growth and prosperity that have defined America for generations.
