DeFazio Still Critical of Obama’s Budget Pan

When President Obama arrives in Oregon today, he'll be in the home state of a leading critic within the Democratic Party. Congressman Peter DeFazio says the President's too shy about taxes, saying “We are going to collect 15% of our gross domestic product in taxes this year, which is the lowest level since Dwight D. Eisenhower.” DeFazio says that both Obama and Congress are failing to realize that solving the deficit requires that everything be on the table, including higher taxes, entitlements, and the Pentagon.
