Fact Sheet: Administration's Fiscal Year 2012 Budget Provides Incentives for Innovation, Infrastructure, and Education; Middle-Class Tax Relief; a Responsible and Credible Plan for Deficit Reduction; and an Improved Tax System
“A credible fiscal plan for our country must include tax policies that promote growth and investment as well as fairness and fiscal responsibility. The revenue proposals included in the President's Budget responsibly balance the need to lower the deficit with the dual objectives of supporting economic growth and promoting fairness for the middle class.”
— Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner
