Democrat Congressman says that country’s debt is a “myth”

Wow. Watch this video of Rep. Phil Hare (D-IL).

Transcript:

And we will see a terrible price that we will pay years down the road for letting our children down when they need us the absolute most.  I’m not going to be part of that, so every minute that I have here is going to be spent debunking the myth that this country’s in debt and we just can’t spend.

He says that we have to keep spending… for the children?

Um. The annual budget deficit under Obama is about 1.5 trillion. The national debt has increased 3 trillion so far under Obama to 13.3 trillion. Our total GDP as a nation is only 14.5 trillion. By next year, our national debt will be higher than our GDP. The children are inheriting a lower quality of life than we have today. They’ll have to pay for our spending today.

Oh, here is his previous video:

In which he says that he doesn’t care that whether health care mandates are unConstitutional.

  2. I don’t think he’s saying that the debt is a myth, but that the myth is that we can’t or shouldn’t spend on children because of the debt. But either way, the dude’s an idiot. It’s what passes for brilliance in this here state of the People’s Republic of Illinois.
