Boehner calls on Obama to abandon spending
quest
WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman John Boehner (R-West Chester) today issued
the following statement regarding the latest employment figures
released by the U.S. Department of Labor:
“The president's ‘stimulus’ spending binge isn't working and has failed
to deliver on its promise to keep unemployment below eight
percent. The spending binge is hurting job creation -- eroding
confidence, draining funds away from private investment, and spreading
uncertainty among job creators. And now the president is asking
for an increase in the national debt limit, without any commitment to
stopping the spending binge that has shackled our economy.
“Instead of more ‘stimulus’ spending and more debt, as the president
proposed in his State of the Union address, we need less spending, more
freedom, and more certainty for those in America who create jobs.
“Republicans have a plan to help our economy get back to creating jobs:
the Pledge to America. Instead of relying on ‘stimulus’ spending and
debt, our plan creates a better environment for job creation in America
by stopping job-crushing Washington rules, cutting unnecessary
spending, and ending the Washington spending binge, which is hampering
job creation by eroding confidence in our economy, crowding out private
investment, and adding to the uncertainty small businesses face.
“I hope President Obama will listen to the people, abandon his
‘stimulus’ spending binge, and work with us on this new approach, which
reflects the will of the American people – and unlike the ‘stimulus’
approach to job creation – will actually work.”
