Kendrick Meek: “We have to put more into this and we have to do more with this. Matter of fact, I want to make sure that staff get this…”

“We have to put more into this and we have to do more with this. Matter of fact, I want to make sure that staff get this on. It is factual. Matter of fact, it is from the department of the U.S. Treasury so this is not fiction. This is third party validators. I am going to possibly get this on my Web site if it is not already on there, on my House Web site, to make sure the American people understand what is happening to them. $1.05 trillion this President has borrowed along with this Republican Congress here in this House and over in the Senate. Forty-two Presidents before this President, $1.01 trillion, 224 years, 1776 to 2000. I am going to say that again, year 1776 to the year 2000, $1.01 trillion borrowed from foreign Nations. From this government, one President, one Republican majority, $1.05 trillion. Oh, we know exactly what we are doing on the majority side. They say, oh, yes, the Democrats, they do not have any thoughts on balancing the budget and making our country more sound financially; we have all the great ideas. Well, guess what, the great ideas have countries like China, Saudi Arabia, Japan, just to name a few, their hand in our cookie jar. They have a piece of the American pie right now, not because they took it. It is because the Republican majority gave it to them on a silver platter.…”
