The House Republican budget plan balances the budget in 10 years. President Obama's? Not so much. http://t.co/D0zlmh11no #BalancedBudget

RepDougCollins (@RepDougCollins)

The President's #budget grows the size of the government not the economy. $1.1 trillion in new taxes and $8.2 trillion in new debt.

Dem budget raises up to $1.5 trillion in taxes, increases spending 62% and adds $7.3 T in debt. #nofiscalsanity #spendingistheproblem
