Lew, who appeared on various Sunday shows, said the new budget would put the country on track to achieve $4 trillion in deficit reductions over the next 10 years, achieved by raising taxes on the wealthy and trimming government spending. The president's budget would cut spending by $2.50 for every $1 it raises in new taxes. "In the long run, we need to get the deficit under control in a way that builds the economy," he said. "We do it in a way that's consistent with American values so that everyone pays a fair share."
