McConnell Statement on CBO Update

February 5, 2013

‘The Congressional Budget Office warns today that under current Obama Administration policy, the red ink will increase by another $10 trillion by 2023. Government spending is completely out of control and it’s past time for the President and Senate Democrats to drop their poll-tested gimmicks -- such as raising taxes on airplanes and energy production -- and join Republicans in seeking real solutions to control runaway spending and debt.’

McConnell on Sequester: ‘It’s time to get serious’
“Now that Congress has acted on the tax issue, the President needs to lay out significant spending reforms—the other side of the ‘balance’ as he defines it. But every day spent talking about ‘corporate jets’ is a day wasted, and given that the President again missed the deadline to submit a budget this year, there’s not much time to spare. The clock is ticking. It’s time to get serious.”

McConnell Calls Dem Tax Hikes on Planes, Energy Production, ‘Poll-tested Gimmicks’

February 4, 2013

‘Reducing the debt will throw off a wet blanket that has been weighing our economy down for too long. This is a serious challenge, and it demands serious spending reforms from both parties in Washington. Yet if you were to listen to the Democrats, you’d think all of our ills could be solved by raising taxes on private jets or energy companies. These aren’t real solutions, Mr. President. They’re poll-tested gimmicks.’
