Virginia Foxx's Name Calling and Scare Tactics

The Charlotte Observer recently ran a story about Virginia Foxx's comments to members of Charlotte's Chamber of Commerce that were visiting Washington. ("Scary Politics")Surely the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce knew that Ms. Foxx screamed the sky is falling because Democrats control the US House. Her party has borrowed and spent their way into the history books as having racked up more debt than all previous administrations combined. Her party has led us to the brink and instead of taking responsibility she has chosen to resort to name calling and scare tactics.

The Democrats are now charged with cleaning up the fiscal mess that the Republicans have created. The Republican administration has taken money away from the middle class and given it away in tax breaks to big oil and other large corporations.

I understand that we cannot live on borrowed money and I will remember this in Washington. The federal government must get back to pay as you go spending or we will leave an insurmountable debt to our children and grandchildren. It is time for Ms. Foxx to be honest about the situation and stop hiding behind name calling and fear mongering.
