Dem Claims Debt Crisis ‘Manufactured’ by GOP...

Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) released a statement Monday saying the “debt crisis” has been “manufactured by House Republicans” who are “attempting to advance an extremist agenda.”
“The current, so-called ‘debt crisis’ has been completely manufactured by House Republicans attempting to advance an extremist agenda. This should be a simple vote to allow the US Treasury to fund all of the programs and obligations of the entire federal government that are already in the law,” said Rep. Lee in a statement handed out to reporters before a Democratic press conference on jobs at the Capitol.
Rep. Lee has called for Congress to increase the debt limit with no strings attached like spending cuts.
“Enough is enough,” she said. “We should immediately pass a clean bill to raise the debt ceiling so that we can work on the real crisis in this country – the jobs crisis.”

Dear Barb,
You guys have worked on “jobs” for almost 3 years now... thanks but no thanks.
Congress should just go home for 6 months and the American people will sort it out.
GOP didn’t say they couldn’t guarantee SS checks would go out if we don’t get a deal by 8/2. Obama did. Rep Lee thinks raising the debt cieling would allow them to focus on jobs? Really? Why start focusing on jobs now?
