The Honorable Mr. Phil Hare wants you to know that the national debt is nothing but a myth. Like unicorns. Like the Easter bunny. Like Democrat fiscal responsibility.
On one hand, Hare says our debt and deficits are mere myths. On the other hand, he says we need more of it.
“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 I have here is going to be spent trying to debunk the myth that this country’s in debt and we just can’t spend.”
Hare’s kind of like a kid who just learned that there’s no Santa Claus, but puts milk and cookies next to the tree on Christmas Eve just in case.

Lots of hypnotized lefties out there suck this kind of crap up through the straw in there noses. Reminds me of the Trumka statement about the US not having a deficit problem while he promotes the government takeover of private companies for the common good. A great country going completely mad.
"We don't need no stinkin' Constitution. We don't got no stinkin' debt."
So here's the question: Is Congressman Hare profoundly stupid or is he profoundly cynical? Does he actually believe what he's saying or does he think the voting public is too ignorant or uncaring to pay attention to his idiotic statements so long as he keeps the money pipeline open and flowing.
Hare is a dangerous man, if we want to save America, he, and members of Congress like him, need to be kicked out of office.
How about profoundly desperate for votes from the unions and "plantation" people ?
But, but...... isn't deficit spending the American way? Look how many people max out 4 or more credit cards and then declare bankruptcy to evade or reduce payment.
Anybody want to bet against this stupid bastard getting reelected? His district is heavily union and welfare, almost assuring his reelection.
Look at the screencap photo in of him, & you'll notice it says Moline, Galesburg, & Decatur. That tells me he'll be back for the next Congress.
Think about this for a second. There's simply NO WAY we could spend that much money, even if we tried. $Trillions! Come on. It's probably just a mixup on the Visa statement. Happens all the time. I'm sure we'll have it sorted out by next month.
Spend like there's no Zimbabwe!
"Spend like there's no Zimbabwe!" That's a great line. We should turn it into a bumper sticker.
Thanks! It's yours!
He just demonstrates why the educational system needs an overhaul. Stupid people being elected by even stupider voters.
Isn't this the same idiot who said he "Didn't worry about the Constitution" during the healthcare debate?
Yup. Same genius.
Maybe mr hare should do a little research on China......
There are families in China, who's "elders" were in "power" when we started borrowing from them(selling them treasuries), where the entire family works on a daily basis, to manage the massive interest payments they receive from America against the Trillions in Treasury Notes they own....not the G, but private citizens....it is called "heritage funds" and it is too gigantic of an amount to even count.
These people, the ones we "trust" to watch our backs and protect us at home and abroad, are the worst scourge our country has to offer, yet we keep on electing them-and we keep paying the price.
it never ceases to amaze me how these imbeciles actually get paid by us to spend our monies when they seem totally unable to even think coherently, spend our way out of debt? socialism is failing around the globe and apparently we are going to have to suffer the same as Greece to understand that it does not work, but by than we will be so dependent upon the government to tell us what to think, what to do, say, live, 48 million now on food stamps, how much control does the government want, our political leaders are so depressing, so incompetent, so corrupt so much an shining example of what happens when we stop scrutinizing their character. Term Limits are the only thing that can end this corrupting, career politicians are a destructive force in a republic.
