Top House Republican calls for spending freeze
Top House Republican calls for spending freeze

WASHINGTON (AP) - The top Republican in the House is seizing on the latest spike in unemployment to call for a freeze on government spending and to urge President Barack Obama to veto a $410 billion spending bill.

Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio, said the jump in unemployment to 8.1 percent and the loss of 651,000 jobs in February is a sign of a worsening recession that demands better solutions from both parties.
Boehner criticized the spending bill as chocked full of wasteful, pork-barrel projects. The Senate postponed a vote on the bill until Monday amid the criticism. Boehner said he hoped Obama would veto the bill. He urged the president to work with House Republicans to impose a spending freeze until the end of this fiscal year....

To little to late, it was a nice thought though.
Peace

Boehner was the House's leading Republican shill for the $8.5 trillion bankster bailout/takeover scheme a few months ago. He has a zero credibility on this issue.

In fact that is pretty much the problem with the entire Republican party. Until they dump the leadership who enabled the reckless spending under Bush, they cannot be taken seriously about this issue under Obongo.

Ironic isn't it. Eight years of Republican mismanagement. Eight years of Republicans failing to safeguard the economy. And now a Republicanis calling for a freeze on government spending. What a bunch of ineffective hypocrites.

The republicans were trying to reform Fannie Mae for years. Barney Frank is still protecting it from reform. Even after this huge mortgage meltdown due to bad loans nothing has been changed.

Oh? When did Democrats ever unite to stand against Bush's reckless spending?

The last 8 years.

As expected, you can't name a single instance of Democrats uniting against reckless spending.

No they voted for the spending.

Bourne knows this, he just never wants to admit anything bad about Democrats in case his flimsy Obamaniac façade falls off.
