Washington, DC – U.S. Rep. Brian Babin (TX-36) strongly dismissed President Obama’s final budget proposal today as nothing more than an unrealistic and irresponsible liberal wish list that further solidifies his legacy of record debt and spending.  The President’s $4 trillion budget, which calls for $2.5 trillion in new spending and $3.4 trillion in higher taxes, would increase the national debt to over $27 trillion – which is two and a half times larger than when he took office.

“This is not a serious proposal,” said Babin. “As has been the case throughout his presidency, President Obama’s budget never balances and leaves further generations of Americans on the hook for trillions of dollars in more government that we do not need and cannot afford.  Even under President Obama’s standards, this is an extremely radical budget that fortunately has no chance of becoming law.  It’s past time we put this nation on a path to a balanced budget and end Washington’s addiction to spending money that it does not have.  We need to act now – future generations depend on it.”
