Boehner Floor Speech: Stimulus vs. Spending

[guywalker29]

I hope you remember my friends that died in the World Trade Center and that the Republicans, especially Bush did nothing. They had 8 years to build Freedom Tower and didn't do it. They had 8 years to bring in Bin Laden and chose not to, instead they moved into Iraq to instal social programs through a military presence with taxpayer dollars that Cheney and Haliburton carpetbagged? I hope you are happy with what Paulson and Bush did allowing bad spending. Republicans beat em to the ground.

[RichardE8ST]

I'm going to ask you to do something that republicans generally dont do, research.

It's very simple go to google and search on John Boehner Lies. The sources are independent and plentiful. You name the subject and I'll show you the lies.

Now you tell me exactly when and where john boehner answers unfiltered questions and when we can expect to see him debate a Democrat.

[padude64]

NO NO NO Are the republican assholes!

[jpmhitachi]

padude64 you make no sense. Are indicates a question, but you have an exclamation point shows a interjection, or some type of harsh words. The exclamation point does not indicate a question. If you were asking a question it should be republicans not are the republican. Are is plural thus republican must be plural too.

[ncb53]

LISTEN, please listen....EVERYONE, open u minds.what if there were no parties, wat if there were nocheks and balances. do any of u see a problem with our system?

[TheMTALBand]

Sadly, the Republicans have no credibility whne it comes to borrowing and spending. For six years, Bush and the congress spent like drunken sailors. For the last two years Bush and the dems did the same. Now we have Obama and the dems continuing the republican tradition of bankrupting our once great country. Sorry Mr. Boehner but you lost all my respect years ago.

[cicero747]

Bush is an idiot and did spend like a drunken sailor. Sadly Obama spent that much in the first month.

The fact is $2.3 trillion (stimulus + bailout)/300 million = $7.5K/ person. Assuming 4 people in a family = $30K. This means each family is paying $30K on this plan and Obama is giving a tax break of $65/month/ family. It's like me robbing you of $30K now and giving you $800 back.

Why don't you cheer for me groupie?

[nasdaqq1]

I hope you Obama people are happy!!!! You sold your country and freedom for a $500 tax break......

[turtleneckdicky]

Don't blame me for this idiotic bill,Ivoted Republican!

[ohiosux]

I like you Mr. Boehner, but this speech was weak. This does not pass my litmus for real leadership.

[ohiosux]

By the way, I called your office and begged them to get you in front of cameras to explain the "healthcare provisions" of this bill. They said you had given a floor speech about it. If this was the speech that supposedly addressed that issue, shame on you and your staff.

[Quantanthead]

Don't let the Democrats win or we'll be repeating my youtube video "Pledge Allegiance to the UN Flag". Fight the good fight. If this bill passes let the Democrats get all the glory when it fails. Thanks

[PleaseActNow]

Fight to stop this trillion dollar stimulus!

nostimulus!!!com

Call your Senate office the switchboard number is 202-224-3121. go on line and get the number for your senator's local office in your home state.

DO BOTH!!!

"No Stimulus"

These calls matter! ...

[ScarlettKnights]

The spending bill appears to be a tide of patronage; especially since many of the "jobs" created won't have an impact until the start of the next campaign. What a great way gain more votes

and payback for the last election. Add that to amnesty and taking over the census and there will

be only party. Say hello to Marxism.

[Migsoon]

The mess we are in was authored by George Soros, a well intended billionaire with a love for Socialism. He wants your government to be the major stockholder in all private industry as they do such a bang up job with the programs that they already own, like Medicare, Social Security, and our National Defense.

Opps, almost forgot their portion of American education system that used to produce individuals with initiative, purpose, morals, and code.

Need I add more?

[GoBucksDave]

We're STILL waiting to see YOUR stimulus package...remember the one you promised to show us since you were so unhappy with the Obama package? How about spending less time on youtube and more time doing what you're paid to do...or else you can join Steve Chabot in 2010!!!

[AgnesBojaxhiu2000]

the rushie herbert hoover neocons continue to be the obstruction party of NO ... my way or the highway ... but i tell you ... the way they do studies is not the best ... take infrastructure ... it looks the same as it did 50 years ago ... the neocons will tell you that infrastructure is needed in iraq but not here ... that's why we spend hundreds of billions there on power plants, roads, bridges there ... so the neocons will fix up iraq and send this country into a depression ... right or wrong

[ScarlettKnights]

Agnes:

What a wrong headed argument, especially in regard to the democrats spending bill. What is needed to turn the economy around is tax cuts and positive incentives. What we are getting is patronage.

[BlankMee]

Stop the Dem Bill, keep the Rep proposal

[AgnesBojaxhiu2000]

the rushie herbert hoover neocons continue to be the party of no ... my way or the highway ... dixie chick i mean ashley judd politics ... they only kind of trillion dollar stimulus bill they want is a blank check for their cronies in the banking industry ... like the last time ... where bankrupt bank ceo's get multimillion salaries and the banks have lavish parties on taxpayers money ... but the democrats say more regulation of the funds are needed ... and so the stimulus package will be killed

[ScarlettKnights]

agnes:

Perhaps you should take a peak of Ashley Judd's new commercial bashing Sarah Palin.

The republicans tried for oversight far before the housing market collapse. Google it!

It was the dem's who resisted oversight, and org's like Acorn and the dem's who pushed to force financial institutions to make loans to unqualified applicants.

Also, who forced the last stimulus down our throats,

In closing, how much better off were we before the dem's took the house and senate?

[vanzorge]

hopefully the senate will stand strong against this

pork-filled "stimulus package".

good work republican congressmen!!

[EDIZZL79]

How could anyone logically disagree with the Republicans bill? Will cost less, create less government and create more jobs, sounds pretty good to me!

[SID39]

KEEP IT UP , please dont fold on this , if this is what they want let them pass it without one republican thank you

[whatiskungfan]

Thank God for the REPUBLICANS,

DEMOCRATS WILL BANKRUPT AMERICA.. Trust Me...

TRADE BARRIERS, WASTEFUL SPENDINGS.

BARACK OBAMA IS READY TO BECOME THE WORST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY.

[stme2008]

[snowlionud]

Reps, Dems . . . I don't care what you are. The rest of us are having to make cutbacks, so should the government. Wasteful spending that doesn't create jobs shouldn't be included in any bill right now.

[ScarlettKnights]

Thank you Mr. Boehner and staff for bringing us footage to keep us informed as to what is going on in our government.

Tax cut(s), working toward a flat tax and smaller government is what I hope to see in the future.

Please don't allow the dem's to use spending bills to further their future campaigns by appealing to those who do not wish to work nor tighten their own belts to better their situation(s).
