“The President's own Democrat co-chair of the debt commission, Erskine Bowles, said ``This debt is like a cancer.'' And he's right. This debt cancer is spreading rapidly. Democrat spending is out of control and adding to the already staggering deficit. House Democrats canceled the 2011 budget and failed to propose and pass an annual budget resolution for the first time since 1974. More and more tax dollars are being wasted. Job creation in the private sector remains at a virtual standstill. A trillion dollars was spent on the President's stimulus, and there are still more than 14 million people out of work. This cancerous debt, a symptom of the failed stimulus and increasing government control, needs to be stopped immediately. Washington needs to start letting taxpayers spend their own money and start putting Americans back to work.”
