Rep. Van Hollen on Speaker Boehner's Reckless Debt Limit Ultimatum
Chris Van Hollen's House Member Office (D-MD-08) posted a Video on May 16, 2012 | 12:18 pm - Original Item - Comments (View) |
BLOOBMERG'S PETER COOK: We are joined by Congressman Chris Van Hollen, who is the top Democrat out of the Budget Committee. You were there at the Peterson Foundation event yesterday. Maybe you saw the Speaker's comments. Your reaction to the ultimatum he has put down? CONGRESSMAN CHRIS VAN HOLLEN: Well it is a very reckless step to take, a very reckless step for our economy. There is no dispute that we need to reduce our long-term deficits. The issue is how. Republicans have rejected the balanced approach that every bipartisan group has proposed, and now the Speaker of the House is out there again creating a self- inflicted wound on the economy.

White House, Democrats Hyperventilate at Mere Suggestion of Addressing Our Debt, Promoting Economic Growth
John Boehner's House Member Office (R-OH-08) posted a Press Release on May 16, 2012 | 12:00 am - Original Item - Comments (View)Is the White House asking for a clean debt limit increase with no spending cuts or reforms whatsoever? If not, where is Washington Democrats' serious plan to address the debt crisis that is hurting our economy and destroying jobs? President Obama's budget – the only Democratic plan available, since Senate Democrats have not offered a budget in three years – was defeated by the House by a vote of 414-0. Today, the Senate is expected to vote it down again. Because of the president's failed economic and fiscal policies, a debt limit increase is looming again. The alternative is default, which would be economically disastrous.
