WASHINGTON - Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Sander Levin (D-MI) today made the following statement after President Obama released his budget proposal for fiscal year 2014:
“Unless Republicans are willing to end their radical intransigence, the answer will be continued deadlock instead of the parties and the president seeking common ground through their respective budgets. The result would be further harm from the sequester and another attempt by Republicans to hold the debt ceiling hostage to their unwillingness to pursue a balanced approach to deficit reduction that includes closing tax loopholes and asking the very wealthy to contribute."
