Boehner: House Republicans Unveil “Road to Recovery” Plan
GOP Offers Better Plan to Curb Spending, Create Jobs and Cut Taxes, and Control the Debt
Washington,
Mar 26 -
House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) today issued the following statement on the “Road to Recovery,” a detailed plan to curb spending, create jobs, and control the debt, in contrast to the irresponsible budget proposed by President Obama and the Democratic-controlled Congress, which spends too much, taxes too much and borrows too much:
“Families and small businesses across America are struggling and looking to Washington for solutions. Unfortunately, the President’s budget spends too much, taxes too much, and borrows too much. Republicans have a better solution. Our Road to Recovery plan curbs spending, creates jobs and cuts taxes, and controls the debt at a time when the American people deserve responsible answers during this economic crisis. The President’s budget will hurt the economy and destroy jobs. By contrast, our Road to Recovery plan will strengthen the economy, create jobs, and restore fiscal sanity in Washington.
“This isn’t the first time Republicans offered better solutions, and the President and Democrats in Congress know that. This year, House Republicans have offered alternatives on the economy and jobs, children’s health care, college and retirement savings, and housing. Now, our Road to Recovery plan builds on the better budget principles I outlined for the President last week. It’s time for Washington Democrats to start doing what’s in the best interests of the American people and work with us to produce a fiscally-responsible budget that creates jobs and helps middle-class families.”
NOTE: The House GOP’s Road to Recovery plan curbs spending, creates jobs and lowers taxes, and controls the debt by:
- Letting families and small businesses keep more of what they earn;
- Ensuring federal budget doesn’t grow faster than family budgets;
- Committing to real entitlement reform and expanding Americans’ access to affordable health care;
- Ending the bailouts to protect taxpayers;
- Reducing gas prices through an “all of the above” energy plan; and
- Fighting inflation so prices of goods and services remain stable.
