Gems from Rep Schakowsky of Obama’s debt commission giving her views of ‘Debt Cancer’:
“
We need to send more money to the states so they can hire people (government employees) and avoid more layoffs ....Every dollar spent on unemployment insurance creates about a $1.63 in economic activity...We should have learned a lesson from the Great Depression. If we don't put money in people's pockets, ordinary people, the victims of the recession, then they will not be able to go out and buy the appliances and back to school products that their kids need. Right now we need to put money in people's pockets,...There are three legs to economic security , reducing the debt, cutting spending, increasing revenue and growth... Mark Zandy McCain's economic advisor saying if you put money into the states that will resonate about a $1.40 through the economy ”

She and Simpson are just the tax collectors for the Obama administration to give him cover for breaking his #1 promise, no middle class taxes. I like the fact that she referenced John McCain as a source, that should tell you something.

Why not just simply cut federal spending by 75% and rid the USA of the cancer.
So that is the new progressive words, debt is cancer. The federal government is the cancer. As the founders warned about from the beginning.
You won’t cut, then simply don’t raise the debt ceiling and starve the pig.
