Roger Williams Statement on Pres. Obama’s Budget

February 9, 2016

WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Roger Williams (R-Texas) today released the following statement after the White House this morning announced President Barack Obama’s $4.1 trillion budget for Fiscal Year 2017.

“Fortunately, for the fiscal sanity of our federal government, it is the Congress that controls the power of the purse,” said Williams, a former House Budget Committee member. “Nonetheless, President Obama’s final budget illustrates his complete disregard for the financial burden he has dropped on the backs of hardworking American taxpayers. An increasing deficit and an ever-growing 19 trillion dollar national debt, despite a volley of tax increases, prove this administration is committed to spending us into oblivion.”
