America Needs More Jobs, Not More Debt

Updated 3 months, 1 week ago

Source: http://biggovernment.com/

Last week, as the national debt topped $12 trillion for the first time in U.S. history, one influential policymaker said, “I think it is important, though, to recognize if we keep on adding to the debt … that at some point, people could lose confidence in the U.S. economy in a way that could actually lead to a double-dip recession.”

This analysis was delivered by President Barack Obama, on whose watch “red ink as far as the eye can see” has become the status quo.

While mostly accurate ...

Good article, Mr. Boehner, I give you credit for bringing your skin out there in the market, so to speak. The truth really is we are all in it together.

You do realize that growth in the public sector has a net neutral effect on the overall economy in the intermediate and long run. Every dollar spent within the public sector has to be supplied by the private sector. The government does not produce anything (and if it does, it is causing monetary inflation).

If you read Keynesian economics you also understand that we should be running at a surplus during times of economic prosperity and not running up debt to the level we have.

I should also note that Keynesian economics were tried during the Great Depression and really did almost nothing to pull us out of it. It wasn't until World War II that we saw real economic growth. There is no proof that

My advice to Mr. Boehner is to read the comments in Big Government religously to understand the dynamic that is happening right now.

We want honest, common sense conservatism that most Americans still value.

No more rhetoric.

Absolutely no deficits as a good thing is a myth. When there are surpluses politicians spent them which acts like a tax. So, surpluses aren't absolutely good either. Deficits, mind you I'm not talking about this current monstrosity, in a reasonable world without today's Democrat congress are a curb on spending.

Responsible people and businesses run deficits at times.

CON-gressman Boehner,

Coalscguy,

I would agree with you about the Bush years, but I think what is happening there are a lot more conservatives "waking up" now, having missed some of the fiscal abuse under Bush. All that matters is where we are … which is huge debt and no restraint. I would not mind Dems in power at all IF they would control spending, reign in govt, and get the hell off my lawn

Rep. Boehner, thanks for posting on a forum such as this. I hope you read the comments section. Colascguy has a point. You guys are so hopped up right now opposing Obama which is awesome. But we need opposition to socialism when WE are in power. That said, thank you for your work in holding everyone together to oppose the healthcare proposals. Don't let up on any of it.

Not to mention the blatant corruption being flaunted under our nose. And more importantly we get the bill for it.

Hey John why did you not speak up during the Bush years. I want to point out that we should always be disgusted with debt no matter who is crafting the budget. Republicans Politicians better take note that if they get a second chance they better not screw us again. For the last 18 years I have voted Republican I'm not sure I would do that today. Lindsey Gram is one of my Senators and I would not ... See all content
