(Un)Balanced Approach

The Choice Is Clear: Perpetual Deficits Or A Balanced Plan

• A common refrain for Vice President Biden last year was “[S]how me your budget and I will tell you what you value.”

• After four straight years of unbalanced budgets, the values of President Obama and Democrats have been made clear.

• Democrats simply do not value fixing our country’s fiscal mess and getting us on a path to a more sustainable future.

• The choice is clear: Democratic budgets that have perpetual deficits or a Republican plan that balances in 10 years and creates jobs. That’s the real “balanced approach.”

  Vice President Biden: “[S]how Me Your Budget, And I’ll Tell You What You Value.” “As my dad used to say, and I know the Congressman has heard me say this many times, don’t tell me what you value, show me your budget, and I will tell you what you value.  Show me your budget and I will tell you what you value.” (Joe Biden, Remarks, Exeter, NH, 4/12/12) From Fiscal Year 2009 To Fiscal Year 2012, President Obama Has Run Trillion-Dollar Budget Deficits.
