Alabama Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions, Ranking Member of the Senate Budget Committee, demanded Tuesday that the White House provide information that Press Secretary Jay Carney promised last week, about how it plans to pay for President Obama’s $447 billion jobs bill.
In a letter to Jack Lew, Director of the White House’s Office of Management and Budget, Sen. Sessions directed Lew to provide a list of information “without delay.” (RELATED: Obama asks Congress for $467 billion tax increase to fund jobs plan)
“When we received a copy of the legislation yesterday, we were expecting the Office of Management and Budget — which enjoys a five hundred person staff — to provide a precise and detailed estimate of the fiscal impact of the president’s proposal,” Sessions wrote. “But no such information was provided. This is not satisfactory. Perhaps even more troubling, however, is that despite the emphatic promise that we would learn yesterday how the bill would be offset, this information is missing too.”
Sessions requested that Lew provide three specific things to show how the plan will be funded, including: a table showing the expected budgetary impact, by specific policy, of the legislation for the next decade, a schedule for the amount of interest the government would incur and the change in the federal debt, and a table showing the expected deficit for the next ten years.
