UPDATED, 4:25 p.m., with statement from Simpson.

President Obama's 2012-13 budget proposal relies on gimmicks and tax increases, and "dangerously increases our national debt," says Sen. Mike Crapo.

Sen. Jim Risch, meanwhile, said the Obama budget fails to acknowledge the "seriousness" of the debt crisis.

And the word "gimmick" also made it into Rep. Mike Simpson's critique.

The three Idaho Republicans issued statements panning the budget, hours after its release.

Here is the full news release from Crapo:

The president’s newly released budget proposal for fiscal year 2013 fails to address the most important issue our country faces, the $15 trillion — and growing — national debt. Instead, it raises taxes by nearly $2 trillion, accumulates $11 trillion in additional gross debt over the next 10 years and pushes us much deeper into the debt crisis. Idaho Sen. Mike Crapo, a member of the Senate Budget Committee, issued the following statement:

“Congress must practice spending restraint. We need a budget without gimmicks and with real reforms, one based on less spending, less borrowing and more economic growth. No country has ever sustained the rate of borrowing we are currently engaged in, and real steps must be taken to address it, starting with a responsible, honest budget.”

Here is the statement from Risch:

The president has once again failed to acknowledge the seriousness of our more than $15 trillion debt. Instead of presenting a responsible budget that cuts spending, pays down the debt and enacts serious reforms, he has put forward a plan for more spending, more taxes and more debt. The fact that this budget once again spends $1 trillion more than the federal government takes in demonstrates the president does not care about the fiscal burden he is placing on our children and grandchildren by kicking the can down the road.

And here is the statement from Simpson:

I will look over the president’s budget request over the next several weeks, and look forward to hearing from administration officials on the specifics of their proposals. However, looking over it today I am discouraged that it does not appear to make a serious effort to reduce the debt and keep it at sustainable levels. We need more debt reduction than the president offers, and we need substantive mandatory spending reform. We need a determined effort from the president to work with Congress to solve this crisis, not budget gimmicks and new spending packages.”
