Neal Dunn, Republican Candidate for Florida Congressional District 2, today issued the following statement regarding President Barack Obama’s release of the proposed Fiscal Year 2017 spending plan.

“Congress has accrued national debt, has overspent and has continued to over tax the American people for far too long.  We cannot allow Washington to continue down the destructive path of overextending itself and operating outside of its constitutional bounds.

“Today’s budget announcement by the President is further proof of his overbearing regulations that are stifling our economy and the administration’s fiscally irresponsible decisions.  We simply cannot afford to pass trillions in debt on to our children and grandchildren.  We must ensure the American dream remains intact for future generations.

“If elected, I will work to cut spending and ensure the proper checks and balances are executed.  Let’s change our country’s economic course and preserve prosperity for Floridians and all Americans.”
