Boehner’s Rapid Economic Recovery Plan Today

Published October 28, 2008 3:40pm ET



House Republican Leader John Boehner circulated a memo to all Republican House members and candidates this weekend urging them to get behind a new economic recovery plan he will unveil today. Boehner writes this in the memo:

Pelosi has declared that Congress will pass a $300 billion “stimulus” spending bill as soon as two weeks after the election. This coincides with Barack Obama’s assertion that government’s focus should be “spreading the wealth around” and Barney Frank’s unapologetic confirmation that a Democrat-dominated Washington will embark on an aggressive government spending spree fueled by higher taxes. The Democrats’ tax-and-spend economic scheme is not simply a theoretical campaign promise; it’s something they intend to start moving to enact as early as next month.
