The President began his day by delivering remarks about the 2010 year fiscal budget and the long term budget plan. The plan marks a strong shift from the budgets of President Bush. It calls for an increase on the marginal rates of taxation paid by those making over $250,000. This is a roll back to the Clinton period and will not go in effect for 2 years. The budget will no doubt go down in history for the size of the deficit in its first year. Text of the Presidents remarks
