Senator: We Want Our President to Be Chief
Executive, Not Majority Shareholder

WASHINGTON, DC –
U.S. Senator Kit Bond today issued the following statement regarding President
Obama’s proposed budget:

 

“President Obama said Tuesday night that
we can’t spend our way out of the economic crisis, a principal that seems to
have lasted fewer than 48 hours.  It only took the President three weeks to
spend his first Trillion dollars and the spending spree isn’t over yet. 

        “This irresponsible budget would cost Americans their jobs, cost
Americans in energy prices, and saddle our children and grandchildren with
debt.

        “Our highest priority should be to jumpstart our economy,
not kill it.

        “We want
our President to be chief executive, not majority
shareholder.”
