HOUSE Republican Leader John Boehner

Washington, May 7, 2009 - House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) today issued the following statement on the Administration’s release of its Fiscal Year 2010 budget details:

“The Administration’s proposed cuts, while welcome, don’t go far enough, and they appear to be a diversionary tactic – an effort to change the subject away from the unprecedented debt this budget heaps on future generations.  Republicans will send President Obama our recommendations for further cuts in waste, but we’ll also be working to ensure these cuts don’t divert attention from the huge debt being piled on our children and grandchildren through this budget to pay for new programs and projects America cannot afford.”
