Mayor Edwin M. Lee’s Statement on President Obama’s Budget Plan
Mayor Edwin M. Lee today issued the following statement on President Barack Obama’s budget plan:|
“Today, the President shared his vision for winning the future, and I applaud President Obama for presenting a comprehensive framework to grow our economy and put Americans back to work. We must begin with investing in people. In San Francisco, our small and mid-sized businesses are the engines of job creation and government must create an environment in which small businesses can succeed and thrive.
In addition, I support and applaud the President’s commitment to health care for all Americans. The President’s unwavering commitment to seniors and the vulnerable through Medicare and Medicaid is an important safety net that must be protected. In San Francisco, we have extended health security to every San Franciscan who needs it.
I agree with the President that in these challenging economic times we must show fiscal responsibility and live within our means. At the same time, we must also rebuild our infrastructure, grow our economy and put thousands of people back to work through strategic investments in our future.”
