Krieger Responds to Governor Wolf’s $33.8 billion Budget Proposal
GREENSBURG – State Rep. Tim Krieger (R-Delmont) issued the following statement today regarding Gov. Tom Wolf’s 2015-16 state budget proposal:
“Today, the governor spoke of the restoration of the middle class. Personally, there is nothing I wish for more fondly than Pennsylvania’s middle class being returned to all of the prosperity and stability we once enjoyed. Increasing state spending by 16 percent, from $29 billion to $33.8 billion, to be paid for largely by taxing the middle class, is not a recipe for prosperity.
“Never in the history of the world has government taxed and spent a people into prosperity. However, government can certainly impoverish a people by stripping them of their wealth and sapping them of their will. Make no mistake, all rhetoric aside, this is exactly what the governor’s proposed budget would achieve.”
