In Weekly Radio Address, Wilson Discusses Reckless Spending and Democrats’ Failure to Produce a Budget

May 13, 2010
Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) today released his weekly radio address highlighting the situation in Greece, reckless spending, and Democrats' failure to produce a budget. Audio for distribution can be downloaded here.

On failure to produce a budget:

"American families can manage to hold full time jobs and still find the time to come around their kitchen tables to develop a household budget; they should certainly expect their lawmakers to do the same thing. So what's the deal? It is because Washington liberals are clearly not ready to get serious about spending."

On reckless spending:

"When we sit down around our televisions with our children at night, do you find yourself wondering how to explain the images of the riots in Greece? How do you tell your children and grandchildren that it is unsustainable debts and over borrowing that led to Greece's economic collapse? How do you tell them that between the trillion dollar government health care takeover, the $789 billion so-called stimulus bill and the bankrupt cash for clunkers programs, that America could be headed down that same path?
