On the recordNovember 16, 2011
According to the Department of the Treasury, as of November 14, 2011, the national debt had reached $14.973 trillion, and will reach $15 trillion in the coming days. This is an economic threat to American families. Since the President took office in 2009, the deficit has increased by a record $4.3 trillion. In order to protect America's future, we must be serious about cutting runaway spending, and we must act now to promote small businesses to create jobs. House Republicans have sent to the Senate for consideration nearly 90 bills to encourage jobs. This legislation dealt directly with limiting spending, terminating failing housing programs, and encouraging job growth and job creation. It's time for the liberals in the Senate and the President to do the same. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. Our sympathy to the family of Steve Kodman, assistant solicitor of Aiken, Barnwell, and Bamberg. ____________________
