"Today, the President released a responsible budget that addresses the many challenges facing the country. As we all know, these are tough times. After nearly a decade of irresponsible tax cuts and spending that was not paid for, we're facing a record deficit and high unemployment while, at the same time, fighting two wars

"Upon taking office, President Obama took swift and decisive action to save the economy from total collapse. Now a year later, with the economy stabilizing and back on the right path, it's time to rebuild on a new foundation based on fiscal responsibility.

"The budget President Obama sent to Congress will lay a solid foundation for growth by investing in the middle class, jumpstarting job creation, making responsible spending choices, and making tough, but necessary, spending cuts.

"Congressional Republicans have talked about fiscal responsibility and reducing spending, so I hope they will take this opportunity to work with President Obama on this budget. The country will be ill-served by a strategy of opposing the President no matter what he proposes."
