The budget proposal was not worthy of support. Apart from troubling special interest provisions—from unnecessary and unwise spending on nuclear weapons to enhancing agricultural subsidies for cotton—it continues the explosion of our national debt.
It sentences us and our children to trillion dollar deficits for years to come. It is a missed opportunity to show some fiscal restraint and repair a broken process.

Congress failed again to protect hundreds of thousands of young Americans facing immediate deportation to countries they don’t know. The #DREAMers, & the vast majority of Americans who support them, deserve immediate resolution.
One can only hope that the intense attention will finally convince GOP leadership to allow the House to fully & fairly consider & vote on legislation to #ProtectDREAMers.
While it’s encouraging that there is a little more stability for the fiscal situation, and there is some needed investment for neglected priorities. Overall, the budget proposal falls far short of the mark, and was not worthy of my support.
