Excerpts from Fox News

"In 2008, President Obama claimed that saddling the American people with $9 trillion in debt was 'irresponsible' and 'unpatriotic.' Yet, after eight years of his tax-and-spend policies, Obama is rightfully dubbed the King of Debt for doubling our national debt, which stood at a staggering $20 trillion when he left office.
"This reckless approach to spending by Democrats launched our country into an unprecedented fiscal crisis. But last year, the voters said ‘enough is enough’ when they elected President Trump … to get our country’s fiscal house in order.
"President Trump is delivering on his promise to the American people by proposing a budget that will pay down our national debt and reinvigorate our economy over the next decade …
"Republicans know that our nation’s entrepreneurs and small businesses are the lifeblood of our economy ... We want families to keep more of their hard-earned paychecks, because we know they can spend their money better at home than the federal government can in Washington, D.C.
…
"… the spending reductions reflect President Trump’s charge to reduce the size of the federal workforce and create a leaner, more accountable, and less intrusive government for the American people.
"Republican priorities could not be clearer. We will decrease spending and increase economic growth. We will scale back burdensome regulations and let Americans keep more of their hard-earned money. We will undo the damage done by President Obama and once again give our country hope that the American Dream is still attainable.
"The tone is set. It is now time for Congressional Republicans and our Administration to work together to make this dream a reality."
