YouTube: Ryan Advocates More Government Spending

Representative Tim Ryan (D-OH) is an advocate of more government spending as a way to strengthening the economy. He believes that raising Americans’ taxes is necessary to pay for big-government spending. Ryan supports the tax hike on small businesses which will go into effect on January 1, 2011.

After a press conference HUMAN EVENTS caught up with Ryan in the U.S. Capitol on last Wednesday. He was unabashed in his liberal views on the economy.  Ryan said raising taxes on small businesses is necessary “because we have huge deficits. We gotta shore up Social Security. We gotta shrink our deficits.”

Listen to this YouTube video of tax and spend Ryan:

“Where are we going to get that money?” he asked.  “Cutting spending,” the reporter responded.   “Where?” asked Ryan.  “I’m not on the Appropriations Committee. That would be your job,” the reporter said, referring to his position on the powerful House committee that determines spending for the federal government.

The lower tax rates signed into law by President Bush in 2001 and 2003 are set to expire on December 31, 2010, at which point, every American will pay higher taxes. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D.-Nev.) adjourned both houses of Congress this week, without voting on whether to extend the tax rates.

While the Democrats claim that they may vote during a lame-duck session Congress to extend the tax cuts for the middle class, they do not support extending the lower tax rates those with over $250,000 of income. Democrats consider these people as “rich,” so raising their taxes will bring in necessary revenue to pay for their big-government spending.

“We need to ask the wealthiest people in our country to chip in, help us pay down the deficit,” said Ryan. “They all of a sudden say ‘No, no, no! Where are we gonna get the money?’ I mean where are you gonna get it from? Are you gonna get it from poor people?”

Those “rich” people are the people who will create jobs for unemployed Americans.  The stimulus spend, spend of Obama and the Democrats is a failure.  The government doesn’t create jobs the private sector does.
