Listed in: Other Domestic Policy, NJDC News, Press Releases

WASHINGTON, DC - Ira N. Forman, Executive Director of the National Jewish Democratic Council (NJDC), released the following statement:

The National Jewish Democratic Council (NJDC) strongly supports President Barack Obama’s budget plan that ushers in a new era of fiscal responsibility and much needed public investment. This comprehensive plan makes long overdue investments and reforms in health care, education, and energy.

The President’s budget is appropriately wide-ranging and aggressive in its approach to the challenges we face today. In addition to its ambition, this budget is designed to cut the deficit in half by the end of Obama’s first term and is a transparent and honest depiction of how the U.S. will expend its revenue.

NJDC applauds the President’s strong leadership in planning a responsible and bold budget plan.
