This week, Congressman Shadegg has been outspoken about the record taxing, spending and borrowing in the Democrat budget proposal - speaking out on radio, television and the floor of the U.S. House.
The Congressman also authored a blog post on the budget asking what the legacy of our generation will be if we pursue this astonishing budget proposal - a post that was featured on both the FOX News website and the newly unveiled FOX Nation.
In addition Shadegg issued a statement comparing the business practices of the U.S. government to the companies we have bailed out:"...the financial problems at General Motors pale in comparison to the financial problems at the U.S. Treasury. The new budget from Washington Democrats makes the extravagance at AIG look modest. We are on course to having our nation's debt near our nation's entire financial output.
Who will restructure our business plan? Who will rescue us from bankruptcy? Who is going to bail out America?"
By Representative John Shadegg
Our parents and grandparents were part of what has been recognized as the "Greatest Generation." With sheer grit and unflinching will they conquered fascism, saved freedom, and put America on course to a level of prosperity never before seen. Through their efforts, they left us a legacy that even centuries from now, history will regard with awe.
It's time to stop mortgaging our children's future and time to start building them a better tomorrow. We cannot let history record that we were the "Reckless Generation."
But, if we are not careful, the legacy of our generation will be very different. If we follow the course set forth in Washington by Democrats' stunning budget proposal, we will shirk our responsibilities to our children and grandchildren, burying our nation in an avalanche of debt.The Democrats' budget proposal will double the national debt in five years and triple it in ten!
Our nation's debt will increase to more than 82% of our nation's entire GDP by the last year of the budget. We are talking year after year of record spending, record taxes, and record deficits.
When Americans are feeling the squeeze of a painful recession and tightening their belts, this budget will squeeze them even tighter - and it will take from, instead of providing for, generations to come.
It's time to stop mortgaging our children's future and time to start building them a better tomorrow. We cannot let history record that we were the "Reckless Generation."
The expansion of the federal government in this budget is shocking. Call your representatives in Congress today, and tell them to vote against this massive increase in spending and debt and put America on the road to recovery - not bankruptcy.
