Press Releases

Congressman Earl L. "Buddy" Carter (Ga-01) released the following statement today on the release of the President’s Fiscal Year 2017 Budget Request.

“While disappointing, it comes as no surprise that President Obama’s final budget provides no plan to help American taxpayers or balance the budget. Even by increasing taxes by $3.4 trillion and spending by $2.5 trillion over the next decade, the budget released today confirms the deplorable reality that this president will leave office never providing a budget that balances. Instead, this budget will do nothing more than increase burdens on hardworking Americans by failing to enact any true spending reforms to rein in Washington’s spending addiction. It is past time to cut up the credit cards and institute true fiscal solutions to grow our economy and create a better future for our children and grandchildren. While this irresponsible wish list will do neither, we are already working in the United States House of Representatives to provide meaningful solutions that will.”
