“As a prosecutor, I learned to trust in the wisdom of these everyday citizens. I also learned that, more than anything else, jurors want the facts… [The President] continues to insist that his budget plan will “pay down our debt.”… To pay down the debt requires a budget surplus. Under the President’s 10-year budget, there is never a surplus. The single lowest annual deficit is $543 billion. The annual deficit in the tenth year grows to $652 billion. Despite $1.8 trillion in new taxes, his budget increases our spending and debt every year, adding $11 trillion to the debt overall. For the President to say his plan will pay down the debt is one of the greatest financial misrepresentations ever made to the American people.”
