Obama's MASSIVE Budget

Dear Senator Cornyn,

I urge you to reject President Obama's budget, which taxes and spends at a rate that Americans like me today, and my children and grandchildren tomorrow, simply cannot afford.

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has predicted that the Obama budget would push the federal deficit to a mind-numbing $1.85 trillion this year and pile up $9.3 trillion in deficits over the next decade, on top of the existing $11 trillion national debt. CBO called these deficits "unsustainable."

What's more, the President's budget would impose a whole host of new and higher taxes just as our economy is struggling to emerge from its current recession. The $636 billion income tax increase on individuals and small businesses would discourage entrepreneurship and stifle job creation. The plan for a cap-and-trade energy system would raise the costs of electricity, gasoline, and other products and services that I purchase. I've seen estimates that this so-called "light bulb tax" could cost American families as much as $3,100 annually!

I also understand that the House and Senate leadership are considering a parliamentary maneuver, called "budget reconciliation," to stifle debate on the President's budget and ram through its controversial policies on energy and nationalized healthcare. Such far-reaching changes to our economy and society merit time for careful debate and consideration, not only within the halls of Congress but also among Americans like me. I urge you to oppose any such anti-democratic maneuver.

We cannot continue on our current course of taxing, borrowing, and
spending. America needs a budget that cuts spending, promotes fiscal
responsibility, and encourages economic growth. President Obama's budget advances none of these goals.

Sincerely,

Dr. Chris Albritton
