Boehner: Biden's lying about stimulus By: Alex Isenstadt July 8, 2009 10:50 AM EST

Vice President Joe Biden is invading House Minority Leader John Boehner’s back yard tomorrow to tout the success of the stimulus package, but Boehner is redoubling his attacks, accusing the vice president of lying about the economy.

“I found it…interesting over the last couple of days to hear Vice President Biden and the president mention the fact that they didn’t realize how difficult an economic circumstance we were in,” Boehner said. “Now this is the greatest fabrication I have seen since I’ve been in Congress.”

“I’ve sat in meetings in the White House with the vice president and the president. There’s not one person that sat in those rooms that didn’t understand how serious our economic crisis was,” Boehner said.

Boehner also took a shot at the idea of a second stimulus – something Biden said he was open to last week.

“All of this talk of a second stimulus bill, I think, is an admission on the part of the administration that their stimulus plan is not working,” Boehner said.

Could we have a worse minority leader than Boehner?

Really?
I think he’s been doing a great job.
He never misses an opportunity to put it to Obammy or Old Joe.

Socialism won’t revive a free market economy? Who could have possibly known that!

The Fed audit is what has to be shoved down their slimy throats. That will crack it all wide open. It isn’t like we couldn’t see that corruption coming.

We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.~Winston Churchill (1874-1965)

I was just thinking the same thing. If the guy is lying, CALL him on it, call it what it is, and come forward with your PROOF.

A noted economist on CNBC this morning said that if the economy had bottomed out now, with the policies of the US govt, we will not reach last years current job level until 2015.
I say it hasn’t bottomed out yet. So....

It didn't work in Cuba, China, Eastern Europe, Central America, Korea OR in the USSR (where it was invented AND they cannot even export it successfully)...why would anyone with a gram of intellect think it will work HERE???!!!

But it hasn't been tried here yet, socialism has to work somewhere.
The dirty little secret is that socialism cannot survive without capitalism.

Agree. The private sector is trying to figure out how to survive obamanomics.

I like the leader, that said, he must hold WEEKLY news conferences were he slanders the president and the Democrats at every turn. He should have daily pressers when there are obvious Dem problems and ethical lapses. IE: Conyers wife taking bribes.

“We have to investigate whether Mr. Conyers benefit ted from these bribes, we have to know where Rangel got the $ to buy those apartments, when will bawny fwank start serving his prison term for bankrupting the country, Chris Dodd is a crook and everybody knows it etc/...

These people are not our friends they are our enemies and must be destroyed.
