DEMOCRATS NEED MORE OF YOUR TAX DOLLARS
(Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. FOXX. Madam Speaker, $6.1 trillion, that's how much money the
Federal Government has spent in just the first 18 months of the Obama
Presidency. Washington is spending $7 million every minute of every
hour of every day. There is only one way to feed that kind of
destructive habit: Washington needs more of your tax dollars.
And that's exactly what Democrats here on Capitol Hill and in the
White House are talking about, the largest tax increase in American
history. And it's no surprise when this Democrat-controlled Congress is
on the verge of a second straight year of creating a record annual
deficit.
Instead of working with Republicans to make the hard choices to cut
spending, Democrats are going to keep right on with out-of-control
spending, and they will send the American people the bill. At a time
when American families are struggling and when nearly 15 million people
are looking for work, Washington Democrats are poised to hit every
single taxpayer with a tax increase to pay for their reckless spending.
Madam Speaker, House Republicans will fight those tax increases and
will work to stop Democrats' out-of-control spending.
