WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington (R-TX) responded to President Biden's budget proposal with strong criticism. Arrington expressed concern over the President's approach, stating, "Today, President Biden doubled down on his unbridled borrowing and spending along with his failed economic policies including tax hikes on families, small businesses, and domestic energy production, which will worsen inflation, weaken our economy, and push America to the brink of a debt crisis."

Arrington highlighted the significant financial implications of the Biden budget, pointing out that it proposes record levels of borrowing and spending in U.S. history, along with substantial new taxes on American families. He contrasted this with the approach of House Republicans, emphasizing their balanced budget plan that aims to reignite economic growth without raising taxes.

Critiquing the Biden budget further, Arrington argued that it promotes an entitlement culture, imposes taxes on families at a challenging time, and jeopardizes America's fiscal future by making unsustainable promises on unnecessary programs. He echoed President Biden's own words about budget priorities, accusing the administration of prioritizing extensive government expansion at the expense of taxpayers.

In conclusion, Arrington underlined the sharp contrast between the Democrats' tax and spend policies and the Republicans' vision for economic growth and prosperity. The statement reflects the ongoing debate and differing perspectives on fiscal matters between the two parties in Washington.
