MDGOP Chairman Mooney On Obama’s Budget Address

ANNAPOLIS – Maryland Republican Party Chairman Alex X. Mooney issued the following statement today in response to President Barack Obama’s budget address in Baltimore, Maryland:

“President Obama continues to pass the buck on our nation’s out-of-control budget deficit. The president had a unique opportunity to finally take a stand against our mounting debt and out-of-control spending but he once again failed to provide the necessary leadership to stem our financial crisis. Instead, President Obama’s budget proposal threatens more American jobs by taxing, spending and borrowing too much. By contrast, Congressional Republicans are holding the line on spending by proposing nearly $100 billion in cuts. It’s time to get serious about our nations dire financial situation and unfortunately Obama’s budget proposal misses the mark.”
