Time For McIntyre To Speak Out Against Disastrous Dem Budget

Senate Democrats introduced their first budget in four years last week. What seemed to be a hopeful sign, quickly turned sour. We quickly found that their irresponsible proposal never balances, includes more wasteful stimulus, and raises taxes.

On top of all that, a new report shows that by supporting this Democrat budget, Mike McIntyre will cost North Carolina more than 26,000 jobs. The National Republican Congressional Committee is calling on McIntyre and his Democrat allies to reject this budget that will have devastating effects for the middle class.

“Four years of Barack Obama and Mike McIntyre’s failed liberal agenda has already hurt the economic security of middle class families, said NRCC Communications Director Andrea Bozek. “If McIntyre supports this unbalanced Democrat budget with higher taxes and a new stimulus, he’ll cost North Carolina more than 26,000 jobs.”

Senator Murray’s Budget Includes $100 Billion In New Stimulus Spending. “But since Murray’s budget also sets aside $100 billion for economic stimulus measures — $50 billion on repairing highest transportation priorities, $10 billion on projects of major regional importance and the rest on other items like worker training — the total savings will be measured at $1.85 trillion.” (Sam Stein, “Senate Democrats’ Budget Includes $1.85 Trillion In Savings Through Mix Of Tax Increases, Spending Cuts,” The Huffington Post, 3/12/13)

Murray’s Budget Also Would Not Balance The Budget—Unlike Paul Ryan’s Plan. “The Murray plan would not balance the budget in a 10-year timeframe like the Ryan proposal, which calls for $4.63 trillion in deficit savings over 10 years.” (Manu Raju, “Patty Murray Budget: $1 Trillion In New Revenue,” Politico, 3/12/13)

Senate Democrats Last Passed A Budget On April 29, 2009. “The Senate last passed a traditional budget on April 29, 2009, and lawmakers have relied on short-term stopgap measures to fund the federal government’s operations since the measure expired.” (Chris Moody, “House Republicans To Senate Democrats: Pass A Budget And We’ll Increase The Debt Limit,” Yahoo News, 1/18/13)
