Obama’s 2011 Fiscal Year Budget
Obama's 2011 Fiscal Year 2011
Supporting Middle Class Families
President Obama’s 2011 budget is here and we though we should bring a breakdown of what is in there. The Office of Management and Budget said this on their blog today;
But even as we meet the challenge of the recession and work to build an economy that works for all American families, we must also change the way Washington does business – ending programs that don’t work, streamlining those that do, cracking down on special interest access, and bringing a new responsibility to how tax dollars are spent. The President’s Budget takes the steps to help jumpstart job creation, works to strengthen the economic security of American families, and makes the tough choices to put our Nation back on the path to fiscal responsibility.
