The question is how we get there. http://republicanleader.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=136966 http://republicanleader.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=136966 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 04:00:00 GMT President Obama travels to Detroit today, in an attempt to continue selling the Democrats’ “stimulus” spending plan that isn’t working. If the reactions from the city’s two newspapers are any indication, he has a tough job ahead in Michigan. While national unemployment has risen far beyond the level predicted by Washington Democrats, Michigan is facing more than 14 percent unemployment, even though the Administration promised immediate job creation after the stimulus became law. That’s led both the Detroit News and the Detroit Free Press to publish editorials this morning underscoring the “stimulus” bill’s complete lack of success in fulfilling the Administration’s promises on the economy: http://republicanleader.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=136978 http://republicanleader.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=136978 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 04:00:00 GMT House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) today issued the following statement on the massive health care bill announced by House Democrats: http://republicanleader.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=137080 http://republicanleader.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=137080 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 04:00:00 GMT Many Democrats who walked the plank and voted for the Speaker’s unpopular national energy tax faced a blistering reaction back home, and the Senate looks unlikely to act on the legislation – meaning House Democrats got “BTU-ed” all over again. Will it happen again on health care too? The Wall Street Journal reported that rank-and-file Democrats are concerned about another tough vote on a small business tax, and that House Democratic leaders relayed that concern to the White House at a meeting yesterday: http://republicanleader.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=137167 http://republicanleader.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=137167 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 04:00:00 GMT As the House Democratic Leadership tries to gather support for their massive small business tax and government takeover of health care, they are finding reluctance from many in their own caucus. Why? Well, many Democrats who walked the plank and voted for the Speaker’s unpopular national energy tax faced a blistering reaction back home, and the Senate looks unlikely to act on the legislation – meaning House Democrats got “BTU-ed” all over again. http://republicanleader.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=136827 http://republicanleader.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=136827 Mon, 13 Jul 2009 04:00:00 GMT Whether it’s a new small business tax or a slew of new mandates on employers, the Democratic leaders’ attempted government takeover of health care is running into some roadblocks – namely, from rank-and-file Democrats themselves. Roll Call reported this morning that Democrats are “rattled” after being forced to walk the plank and vote for the Speaker’s unpopular national energy tax. With Democratic leaders pushing a government takeover of health care that will increase costs, force 114 million Americans off of their current health care plans, and raise taxes on small businesses – in a recession no less – is it any wonder why rank-and-file Democrats are nervous? Just look at these headlines: http://republicanleader.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=136839 http://republicanleader.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=136839 Mon, 13 Jul 2009 04:00:00 GMT House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) today issued the following statement on today’s health care photo opportunity with House Democratic leaders: http://republicanleader.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=136916 http://republicanleader.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=136916 Mon, 13 Jul 2009 04:00:00 GMT House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) today issued the following statement after Robert Groves was confirmed as U.S. Census Director: http://republicanleader.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=136942 http://republicanleader.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=136942 Mon, 13 Jul 2009 04:00:00 GMT Yesterday, House Democratic leaders made it official: they want to impose a massive job-killing tax hike in the midst of a severe recession on American families and small business to finance their government takeover of health care. House Republican Leader John Boehner (Ohio), who has been asking the Democrats “Where are the jobs?” responded with a statement: http://republicanleader.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=136982 http://republicanleader.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=136982 Sat, 11 Jul 2009 04:00:00 GMT House Republican Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) today delivered the weekly Republican address on the economy, the Obama Administration’s trillion-dollar “stimulus” spending bill that isn’t working, and Republican efforts to offer better solutions. Audio of the address is available here and video of the address will be available here once the embargo is lifted at 6am Saturday. http://republicanleader.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=136983 http://republicanleader.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=136983 Sat, 11 Jul 2009 04:00:00 GMT
