On February 14th, for many Americans, it was a day of love and spending time with that special someone, but to Washington DC, it was day of money, petitions, and vetoes.

At around noon on Monday, President Barrack Obama released his Draft of the 2012 Budget.  Speaking to a Legislative Assistant to California Senator Dianne Feinstein, he commented that the draft was about 15” thick.  Later this week the Draft will go through Congress for revision.

Senator Barbara Boxer, our own California representative, released the following statement on President Obama’s Budget:“While I may not agree with everything in it, the President’s budget reflects the need to cut the deficit in a responsible way.”

What our Senator does support fully is Obama’s increased funding to transportation which will help maintain and create millions of much-needed jobs.  The 2012 Budget Plan has a great possibility of going through.  This would greatly help Obama to first off, reduce the overall budget, and allow him to better concentrate funds on Health Care and Transportation.
