Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (MN-06) released the following statement today after the delivery of President Obama’s federal budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 to Congress:

“President Obama’s federal budget proposal only confirms that the President is not committed to helping our country regain its economic stability. While our national debt is at $15 trillion and counting, and our unemployment rate remains above eight percent, the only logical step is to make major cuts to our out-of-control spending and get our economy back on track. With his budget, however, the President demonstrates that he is not serious about making those desperately needed cuts. Instead, he seeks to satisfy his political base during an election year by spending $3.8 trillion in fiscal year 2013, by increasing our nation’s debt by a projected $1.33 trillion, and by raising taxes on America’s job creators.

“I am also concerned to learn that the President is seeking $800 million in foreign aid to go to Arab Spring nations. We have seen that the Arab Spring is the rise of political Islam and the advancement of Shariah law. We must stop and consider where our taxpayer funds would actually end up.”

The budget, released today, can be viewed online here.
