Rep. Frank Pallone (D-N.J.) told students at Rider University that conservatives are wrong to make deficit reduction a priority. …

“Bottom line is that the right wing, and I say the Tea Party, has made deficit reduction the main priority—the main economic priority, and I will tell you point blank—that I do not think it is. … I believe in economic growth, and I think the only way we get out of the recession—and we are gradually getting out of it—is by having policies in Washington that create growth and therefore create jobs and therefore eliminate the problems that we may have with Social Security trust funds and the Medicare trust funds.” …

One would expect this from a Joysey ‘RAT.

Trust me. I’m from the government and I’m here to help you.

Remember when a $500 million dollar deficit ($300 mil of which was a tax rebate stimulus program) was dangerous, reckless and unpatriotic? I wonder if we will ever see those days again before the system collapses?

[fieldmarshaldj]

Pallone, a career politician parasite (25 years in Congress) who has no clue about economics.

[TBP]

No, we must focus on increasing it.

What kind of powerful drug is this dude on?

Hmmmmmm

Let me have yer credit cards and checkbook. I’ll bury you so deep in debt you won’t be able to pay attention much less function.

[Mortrey]

Gotta agree with Pallone—

The VERY FIRST priority is to NAIL Bath-House for the blood on his/her hands.

[Jane Long]

More socialist double speak being spewed at higher learning indoctrination stations.

[o-n-money]

Pallone is a do nothing POS. He is all mine. He has too many Obama strongholds in his district.

"The way to have safe government is not to trust it all to the one, but to divide it among the many, distributing to everyone exactly the functions in which he is competent....To let the National Government be entrusted with the defense of the nation, and its foreign and federal relations..... The State Governments with the Civil Rights, Laws, Police and administration of what concerns the State generally. The Counties with the local concerns, and each ward direct the interests within itself. It is by dividing and subdividing these Republics from the great national one down through all its subordinations until it ends in the administration of everyman's farm by himself, by placing under everyone what his own eye may superintend, that all will be done for the best."
Thomas Jefferson

Economic illiterate or just pandering? Both?

How can anyone be so wrong for so long?

[ogen hal]

That subhuman fetid losers like pallone get elected is “very wrong”.

Money and Power.

Doing tyranny’s bidding...

This scumbag is sugarcoating the tar pit of debt. The government’s debt is the taxpayers’ debt — a difficult thing to comprehend especially for those that don’t understand the impact of oppressive debt.

What a devious asshole.

[jmacusa]

Do you suppose it ever crosses this idiots mind that if government could create wealth we'd never have recessions?

[SeminoleCounty]

I guess this dude hasn’t seen the 9 trillion Illegal Alien Amnesty bill they are trying to pass...so much for reducing the budget

He's got that right.

We should be for economic growth for sure. Via reducing the proportion of the national income consumed by government. That should include Pallone's job, obviously. If we do that, the deficit will shrink over time. Pallone can sell insurance or spin pizza dough. I'll bet he has halitosis, too, being on a social wrung just below trailer trash!
