Speaker Boehner's Address on the Economy, Debt Limit, and American Jobs

House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) today addressed the Peter G. Peterson Foundation's 2012 Fiscal Summit on efforts to put our nation back on a path to prosperity and economic growth by cutting government spending, preventing job-crushing tax hikes, and making long-term changes to entitlement programs.

i think rep. boehner is being manipulative and dishonest. boehner is the one who led last year's debt-ceiling extortion, boehner is the one responsible for the drop in our nation's credit rating, and now boehner is the one who would go against the automatic military spending cuts that were part of the resolution boehner demanded, so that boehner can instead cut social spending. where are the jobs, boehner? why haven't you taken a pay cut?

the very existence of America, don't you get it????????????? We're sick of talk, talk, talk -- no change!!!!!!

The first to be charged would be Mr. Boehner and Mr. Reid, followed by all of the Tea Party members. We must refuse to have our Congress hijacked by people with an agenda to subject us to the will of the wealthy few. E-mail, call, or write your Congressmen with a demand that they follow the expressed will of the people as evidenced by the election of November 6th of this year. Plan, as a group, to make your voices heard; consider a march or sit-in or a picket of Congress. Do something!

Shut the fuck up socialist liberal

What's also hypocritical is how Boehner and the rest of the GOP wants to INCREASE military spending while gutting social programs. That's their way of cutting spending.

Don't fucking play games with the economy.

[john townsend]

John Boehner and Eric Cantor have made it very clear their top priority

is not the economy or even jobs. Their top priority is to "make Obama fail", damn the economy. Indeed they have clearly shown by their actions that

they will deliberately hamper the economy to achieve this. In other words

they are promoting a failed nation to make a failed presidency.

In times gone by, subversiveness of this order was considered treason, punishable by death.

This man is a dishonest career plotician who lies to protect oil and banking industry. He won't get his hands outta the pockets of the poor and is determined to destroy the middle class. He should be selling used cars.
