Sessions Skewers Obama on Budget Deficit

By    |   Monday, 24 January 2011 10:59 AM EST

Many Republicans are upset with President Barack Obama’s unwillingness to restrain the budget deficit, which now totals almost 10 percent of GDP. Senate Budget Committee ranking member Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., gives voice to the frustration in a Washington Post opinion piece.

Obama can’t keep his hand of the spending spigot, Sessions says. “Last month, President Obama would agree to maintain current tax rates only if Congress would agree to increase federal deficit spending. We are headed toward a cliff, yet the president hits the accelerator.”
