Congressman Hank Johnson's statement on his vote against the GOP's 2012 budget proposal

WASHINGTON, DC – Representative Hank Johnson (GA-04) released the following statement on his vote against the GOP's 2012 budget proposal:

“We must not balance our books on the backs of seniors, college students, the shrinking middle class and the poor, who are struggling in this economy. There’s no doubt, we have to live within our means, get back to the Clinton-era path that allowed us to pay down our debt and reduce our deficit. Nothing should be taken off the table, including defense spending and ending tax breaks for millionaires, billionaires and Big Oil.”
