President Obama unveiled his $3 trillion-plus budget proposal for 2010 yesterday.
Senator Hatch responded:
"We cannot tax and spend our way out of this economic crisis. Washington needs to tighten its fiscal belt, rein in the runaway federal deficit and bring real relief to Americans struggling to make ends meet, pay their mortgages and keep their jobs. Unfortunately, this reckless budget will swamp Americans in a morass of debt and mortgage the future of our children and grandchildren.
"Raising taxes during a serious recession makes about as much sense as giving a diabetic a box of chocolates. Herbert Hoover raised taxes during a serious recession and it led to record unemployment and the Great Depression. History need not repeat itself if we pay heed to history."
