As the United States continues to recover from the worst depression since the Great Depression, too many Americans still worry about whether they’ll have a job tomorrow. And as we debate our nation’s long-term fiscal security, we know that growing our economy is a surefire way to cut the deficit.
WASHINGTON – On MSNBC today, House Democratic Caucus Chairman John Larson (CT) told Richard Liu that now that we’ve out the manufactured debt crisis behind us, we need to focus on putting America back to work.
TRANSCRIPT:
Richard Liu: Alright, joining me now Democratic Congressman John Larson. He’s also Chair of the House Democrats Caucus. Congressman, thank you for your time today.
Yesterday, House Democratic Caucus Chairman John B. Larson told Fox News’s Jon Scott that it's time for Republicans to stop walking away from bipartisan negotiations to prevent a default. American families should not need to worry about a GOP-manufactured crisis – which would hurt their savings, pensions and 401(k)s. Instead Congress must work together to ensure our nation pays its bills, and then focus on Americans’ top priorities: job creation and fiscal security.
President Obama asked America to let Congress know what they think about the Republican manufactured default crisis. And they are – in overwhelming numbers.
The message is clear: Leaders must come together to make sure our nation pays its bills, create jobs, and protect Medicare and Social Security.
We all agree that the United States is the best country in the world. So why are some Republicans arguing it’s okay for us to not pay our bills like we live in some third world country?
