Senate Budget Committee @SenateBudget

Murray: As #Democrats & #Republicans both know, responsible #deficit reduction is essential to our long-term prosperity. #budget — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Budget Committee @SenateBudget

Murray: Finding savings from unfair tax provisions is an opportunity to responsibly reduce our deficit & invest in our future. #budget — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Budget Committee @SenateBudget

Murray: If we agree that there is wasteful spending in the tax code, the next question is -- how should those savings be used? #budget — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Budget Committee @SenateBudget

Murray: Experts across political spectrum have also proposed eliminating wasteful spending in our tax code as way to reduce our deficit. — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Budget Committee @SenateBudget

Murray: @SpeakerBoehner recently proposed to raise $800B in new #revenue by closing “special-interest loopholes and deductions.” #budget — PolitiTweet.org

Masquerading as tax cuts, many of these programs no different from any other federal program that spends taxpayer money. -Sen. @TomCoburn — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Budget Committee @SenateBudget

Murray: We’ve got some clear opportunities to cut wasteful spending and make our tax system work better for middle class families. #budget — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Budget Committee @SenateBudget

Murray: No good reason taxpayers subsidize millionaires more when they purchase a 2nd home, than they do middle class purchasing 1st home. — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Budget Committee @SenateBudget

Murray: When we talk about big gov't #welfare, maybe we shouldn’t always jump to cut spending on those who are most in need. #budget — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Budget Committee @SenateBudget

Murray: Tax expenditures have grown over the last 20 years to become one of the largest impacts on our #deficits & #debt. #budget — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Budget Committee @SenateBudget

Murray: But a big source of spending, and one that deserves to be just as closely examined, is expenditures in our #taxcode. #Budget — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Budget Committee @SenateBudget

Murray: No question that we do need to look at government programs carefully. #Budget — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Budget Committee @SenateBudget

Murray: My #GOP colleagues tend to focus on cutting programs the most vulnerable families depend on get to back on their feet. #budget — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Budget Committee @SenateBudget

Murray: As we’ve looked for ways to reduce our #deficits & #debt, we’ve heard a lot of outrage about waste & excess in government programs. — PolitiTweet.org
