House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) said today that the President's announced "ramping up" of government spending "is an acknowledgement that the Democrats' trillion-dollar stimulus is not working." Boehner said:
"When they passed this spending plan, Democrats said it would immediately create jobs, yet nearly four months later unemployment has continued to climb and none of their rosy predictions have come true. These policies are harming middle-class families when they can least afford it, and adding to the massive debt we're passing on to future generations. ...
"Wasting more money that the government doesn't have – money that is borrowed from China and the Middle East, and will have to be paid back by our kids and grandkids – is the wrong choice. I believe our economy will improve, and Republicans support policies to make that happen faster. But it will not recover because of more wasteful government spending."
