Steele highlights the Republican innovative ideas for bringing our economic back from the brink. Ideas that work, ideas that help Jane and Joe American, not Dem special interest groups.
Exerpt from his speech under the cut.
Not only is Steele cleaning house, he is bringing common sense to this bailout boondoggle:
“Democrats in Congress want a one-trillion dollar spending bill. You’ve heard about the pork-barrel programs they want to fund… 45 million dollars for ATV trails and removal of fish passage barriers is one that caught my eye. Exactly what is a fish passage barrier and why does it cost 45 million dollars to stimulate the economy with it?
“That’s why Republicans in the House voted against uncontrolled spending. This is not a bragging point, but rather a statement that at least Republicans would stand with the American taxpayer.
“But voting ‘no’ is not enough… and Republicans have offered innovative ideas to help struggling families and small businesses. We’ve offered plans to spark job creation and investment through lower taxes, to stop the taxation of unemployment benefits, and to help Americans keep their jobs and their homes.
“The comprehensive Republican plan would lower taxes for all working American families. If you’re married, the first 16,750 dollars you make this year will be taxed at ten percent. Why don’t we cut that rate in half to give instant buying power to every working American family?
“Good ideas… lots of them… all left out of this plan by the Democrats in Congress.
Hey how I got an idea, about some party discipline? I know few Senators who need a talking to. Have three idiot Senators run off and hijack the party is not the way to attract donors.
