OMB Acting Director refuses to answer budgetary spending question

This guy Obama has working for him sounds like a greasy car salesman that just came off of a used car lot. He won’t even answer a simple yes or no question as to whether the budget spends more than current law permits. Just makes me want to throw the budget at him.

Here is the YT description:

WASHINGTON, February 14 — At a Budget Committee hearing today, OMB Acting Director Jeffrey Zients refused, under direct questioning from Sen. Sessions, to answer whether the president’s budget would increase spending over current-law levels. The White House has repeatedly claimed that their budget contains $2.50 in spending cuts for every $1 in tax increases. In truth, the budget plan submitted by the president would increase spending by $1.5 trillion over the next 10 years relative to current projections. Over that time, the federal government will spend a total of $47 trillion, up from $45.5 trillion projected under the already enacted Budget Control Act—producing by the president’s own projections an additional $11.2 trillion in gross debt.
