Fiscal Policy Plans

President Obama laid out his plans for America’s Fiscal Policy during a speech Wednesday at George Washington University.

The goal: $4 Trillion dollars in deficit reductions over 12 years.

Listen HERE to some highlights of Pres Obama’s remarks:

Here are excerpts from House Speaker John Boehner’s paper statement reacting to the President’s Fiscal Policy remarks:

 “Unsustainable debt and deficits threaten the prosperity of our children and the health and retirement security of our seniors. Republicans, led by Chairman Ryan, have set the bar with a jobs budget that puts us on a path to paying down the debt and preserves Medicare and Medicaid for the future. This afternoon, I didn’t hear a plan to match it from the President.” …

“To reduce the economic uncertainty hanging over American job creators we must demonstrate that we’re willing to take action. And any plan that starts with job-destroying tax hikes is a non-starter. We need to grow our economy – not our Government – by creating a better environment for private sector job growth. That’s why Republicans are fighting for meaningful spending cuts and fighting against any tax increases on American small businesses.”
