0-99: Senate Unanimously Rejects President’s Budget

“If Congress adopts this budget, then along with the cuts that we’ve already made, we’ll be able to reduce our deficit by $4 trillion by the year 2022 — $4 trillion… But the main idea in the budget is this:  At a time when our economy is growing and creating jobs at a faster clip, we’ve got to do everything in our power to keep this recovery on track.” – President Barack Obama, Feb. 13, 2012

“This Budget lays out the President’s vision to… build an economy that will grow robustly and create good jobs for years to come [and] pursue deficit reduction that is balanced and will put the country on a sustainable fiscal path.” – OMB Acting Director Jeffrey Zients, Feb. 14, 2012

“The president tomorrow will be presenting a budget that does $4 trillion of deficit reduction over 10 years. It does it in a way that builds an economy in America that can last… and calling for shared American values where everybody, you know, has a fair shot, does their fair share and plays by the same rules.” – White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew, Feb. 12, 2012
