Full Text:
President Obama's budget is 65 days late and trillions of dollars short.

And while his plan contains plenty of tax increases, budgetary gimmicks and stimulus-style spending, it fails to adequately address our nation's unsustainable deficits and debt

In fact, the president's budget would never balance.

I share President Obama's view of a thriving middle class and strong manufacturing base. But the policies put forth in his budget shows the White House is more focused on increasing the size of government than growing the private sector.

If the president is truly serious about building a 21st century economy, then he should work with House Republicans in eliminating the roadblocks to innovation and entrepreneurship.

That means reducing government red tape, creating a fairer and flatter tax code and ending the deficit spending.

I urge the President to join us in putting forth sound policies that will grow jobs and put our country back on a sustainable path.
