Obama’s Budget…Late Again

The Obama Administration wrote Rep. Paul Ryan today to inform him that their budget proposal will be late. This is the third time in the last four years that Obama will miss the legal deadline to submit a budget.

“The White House has informed House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) that it will miss the legal deadline for sending a budget to Congress.

Acting Budget Director Jeff Zients told Ryan (R-Wis.) in a letter late Friday that the budget will not be delivered by Feb. 4, as required by law.”

…

Under the law, President Obama must submit a budget by the first Monday in February, but he has met the deadline only once. The annual budget submission is supposed to start a congressional budgeting process, but that has also broken down. The Senate last passed a budget resolution in 2009.”

Three times in the last four years? It’s clear that President Obama just doesn’t take our fiscal problems seriously. Tell him and his liberal allies that our country has a spending problem. Sign our petition here: www.nrcc.org/spending.
