WASHINGTON (CNN) – House Republican leaders Wednesday asked for a meeting with President Obama on Thursday to offer major changes to the $825 billion economic recovery package proposed by House Democrats last week.
"The challenge as we see it is to create a plan that helps middle class taxpayers and small businesses without wasting money or exploding our national deficit," the leaders wrote in a letter to the new president. "We believe the economic recovery plan should primarily create real, long term jobs, encourage entrepreneurs, and help average Americans keep more of their money to save and invest."
"We can do better than this. We have to do better than this. This bill is not worthy of our new president's signature," he told reporters Wednesday. - Rep. Paul Ryan
Ryan argued that the bill should be aimed at creating jobs in 2009, and cited a GOP analysis of the plan that finds that less than 10 percent of the spending doesn't occur until 2010 or later.
Sounds to me like the Republicans are trying to stop the out of control spending that is going on in Washington. We have poured Billions and Trillions into the economy with little effect. Here is what the Democratic Left is saying about this tidbit of Trying to work together.
"Do I hear the sound of toothless gums flapping?"
"Hey, Repukes! Want in one hand and shit in the other. Let me know which hand fills up first."
"Exploding our national debt? Who the f*** did that, a**holes?"
That one makes me laugh. If the Debt exploding was Bush, isn't Obama about change, so we shouldn't continue to explode the debt.
"Rep or Dem.. no point in throwing good money after bad.."
Figured I would finish it off with at least one smart one.
