Sen. John Cornyn on Jack Lew: qualms on Treasury pick’s spending record

Sen. John Cornyn, the Texas Republican who serves as deputy GOP leader in the Senate, called for a “fair hearing” on White House chief of staff Jack Lew, the president’s pick for Treasury Secretary. But he also offered some qualms.

“Under Jack Lew’s leadership at the Office of Management and Budget, we saw trillion dollar deficits and no serious attempt to rein in spending,” Cornyn said in a statement issued moments after the president presented his pick at an East Room ceremony. “As President Obama’s Chief of Staff, we’ve seen on-going dilatory tactics as the nation stares down one fiscal crisis after another. While Mr. Lew deserves a fair hearing, Texans deserve to hear the President’s plan for cutting spending and balancing our budget.”
