[0:00]" If this California congressman Kevin McCarthy -- house republicans' chief deputy whip. Earlier this week present Obama said we need to get serious about fiscal discipline but trimming waste in the federal budget Republicans couldn't agree more. We want to work with the president to get our financial house back in order. Unfortunately in the Washington democratic establishment has pushed all year for policies that spend too much tax too much. And borrow too much from our children and grandchildren. When I think of the future I think in my fifteen year old son -- my twelve year old daughter Megan. I worry about their future. Because your kids are as important to you as mine are to me and I am unwilling to leave our children with so much debt. It's irresponsible. To borrow more than all previous American presidents combined. And it must stop if we want to get our economy moving again. The trillion dollar stimulus bill 410. Billion dollar omnibus spending bill and the massive fiscally you're responsible democratic budget. The doubles the debt in just over five years and triples the debt in just over ten years. All of this money. But why are we funding has skateboard park in Rhode Island and new bike racks in Washington DC. The democratic governor of Ohio was planning to use 57 million dollars in stimulus funds. On studies instead of shovel ready projects that could create jobs now. And don't forget that same stimulus bill authorize those outrageous AIG bonuses. When all this spending and borrowing it. Hard working American families and small businesses asking that same question. In fact thousands of Americans turned out on tax filing data say they've had enough. High taxes and borrowing to bankroll Washington's spending spree. I attended one of these key parties in the hometown of Bakersfield California. And believe me the message was heard loud and clear. Every day America's families seniors and small businesses. Are making tough choices. They're worried about their jobs their mortgages their savings. They're sacrificing to pay the bills to make sure their children get a good education. But Washington isn't willing to make the same difficult decisions. This is why Republicans are leading the way with solutions to provide a new direction. Rather than proposing more Washington spending. Republicans proposed tax relief for American small businesses. We know America's -- for new hours and innovators create the jobs and our economy. Over 70% of all American jobs come from small businesses. Republicans are also working to reduce taxes on hard working American families. Rebuild their savings lower their energy costs expand access to affordable health care. But most of all her Washington spending and borrowing. These are not Republican or democratic ideas these are common sense American solutions. That we have heard from millions of Americans. And we know that when the government spends our hard earned tax money we should be guaranteed accountability. That's why house Republicans unveiling Washington watch a new website tracking misuse of taxpayer dollars and stimulus place. We invite you to visit that website at www. Republican whip. Dot house dot -- Together we can help stop wasteful Washington spending by shining a spotlight on the waste. In this time of economic crisis and financial instability. Republicans are reaching out to the president and Washington Democrats to find solutions to solve our country's problems. We have incredible challenges before all of us and we ask all Americans to join us -- working together for better solutions. Because it's not just our future it's all of our children's future thank you for listening."
