Dana Rohrabacher: “Reclaiming my time, every time we try to cut the budget around here, every time we say, Let us not spend Federal money…”

“Reclaiming my time, every time we try to cut the budget around here, every time we say, Let us not spend Federal money in this area, let us cut the deficit, we are always told, My goodness, there is going to be a catastrophe, people are going to starve, there are going to be babies in the street, it is going to be horrible. But you know what, most of these scare tactics that are being thrown out are just absolutely wrong and the people who are talking that way know they are wrong but they are using a tactic to get us to spend the taxpayer's dollar to line their own pockets. This is not contrary to what we have experienced here at home. But let us take a look at that. If we are going to spend money to stabilize the currencies, what about Russia? Isn't that also an important country? We could be spending hundreds of billions of dollars to stabilize their currency. After all, they have got nuclear weapons. What if chaos erupts in Russia? This is a formula for the United States to be spending hundreds of billions of dollars to protect other people's currencies, and do you know what that means? That means our currency will come under attack.”
