Um, sir? About that press conference of yours last night? I'd like to correct a few misstatements lies, if you don't mind...

SNIP

President Obama came to Congress in January and requested business as usual -- yet another routine increase in the national debt limit -- we in the House said 'not so fast.' Here was the president, asking for the largest debt increase in American history, on the heels of the largest spending binge in American history.

This debt ceiling increase is a direct result of spending that has already taken place, spending authorized by the House of Representative that YOU are the Speaker of, not from the Democrats alone going on a spending binge. Sir.

Here's what we got for that spending binge: a massive health care bill that most Americans never asked for. A 'stimulus' bill that was more effective in producing material for late-night comedians than it was in producing jobs. And a national debt that has gotten so out of hand it has sparked a crisis without precedent in my lifetime or yours.

The Affordable Care Act, in fact, lowered the deficit, sir. It did NOT increase spending by the US government. Also, that 'stimulus' bill you refer to? That was over one-third tax cuts. That is in addition to your extorted extension of the Bush tax cuts. These two things were supposed to HELP the economy and CREATE JOBS. Millionaires, billionaires and skabillionaires have not received any tax increases. This, you told us, sir, would create jobs. Where, sir, if I may ask, are the jobs? Sir?...
