Presidential Statement on Budget Negotiations
As the budget negotiators continue their meetings this
afternoon, I want to make it clear to the American people that
the goal of these negotiations is unchanged: we must fix the
federal budget mess and the federal budget process mess once and
for all.
A budget deficit agreement is necessary to help maintain our
economic vitality, our competitiveness and our growth in job
opportunities. There are several tests this agreement must meet.
I will insist on an agreement that really does promote economic
growth. I will insist on an agreement that is fair, credible,
and real -- and it must contain real spending cuts. And, I will
insist on an agreement that addresses reform of the budget
process itself.
I will not accept a temporary quick-fix that sweeps this
problem under the rug. I will not accept a deal that fails to
address in a fool proof way the government's deficits. We must
have a five-year, $500 billion plan that keeps our country
strong, competitive, and puts us on the path to long-term
economic health.
In the absence of a budget agreement, the law requires that
sequester will begin in just over a week. We are now nine days
and counting. A credible budget agreement will enable us to
prevent the unnecessary disruptions that come with the automatic
spending cuts mandated by sequester.
Finally, some have suggested that we put off dealing with
this issue until after the November elections. My answer to that
is simple: No way. We must get this job done, and get it done
now.
