[0:00]" This is Kansas congresswoman land she intends. This is my first year in congress and what -- scenes anti arrived in Washington. Has been truly eye opening. The pace that Democrats in congress and the White House are spending your tax dollars his simply staggering. At trillion dollars for the so called stimulus bill. Nearly half a -- on an omnibus spending measure with nearly 9000. And scrutinized earmarks. And three point six trillion dollars on a budget that Democrats just passed this week. Which includes trillion dollar deficits as far as the eye can see. As a mother with two children unconcerned. Like any mom would be about that debt we are piling on future generations. I know a thing or two about handling tax Payer dollars. I was the state treasurer and Kansas for six years before I came to congress and before that I practiced public accounting has a certified public accountant. For nearly two decades -- trust me when I say Washington's. Books are masks. Remember when the president promised strict oversight at -- states and local communities are spending those critical stimulus dollars. Well in the last few weeks we've heard plenty about stimulus waste. Tax Payer dollars earmarked for a homeless program and it town with no homeless problem. Millions to an extend and and more than -- million dollars for sidewalks and trash cans outside a casino in Michigan. This bill was supposed to be about jobs that it's gone off the rails and practically no time at all. And millions of your tax dollars are being wasted. It's quickly turning into a symbol of everything wrong when Washington DC. And -- spend. No accountability and oversight and more and more debt piled on to our children and grand children. This week we marked the president's 100 day in office. And while like most of you I like the president personally. I think the democrats' first 100 days running Washington can be summed up in three -- Spending. Taxing and borrow. The plans they've passed in the first 100 days -- add more to our nation's public debt. Than all previous presidents come behind the end 200 plus years. They've taken away present now Obama has promised middle class tax cat. And pave the way for a new national energy tax to be paid by every American. His players to flip on the light switch. Middle class families and small businesses across America are tightening their belts and making sacrifices. Each and every day during this recession. And Republicans believe that it's time for Washington to do -- We offered -- hit that curb spending creates jobs by cutting taxes. And controls that -- act. We've also offered proposals to help rebuild your savings revitalize the housing market. And create twice as many jobs -- the democrats' stimulus. At half the cost. More than two million Americans have lost their jobs and care and by all accounts our national recession has gotten worse than expected. Americans are worried and rightfully so. They know that we can't spend our way back to prosperity. Republicans are fighting for middle class families and small businesses every day here in Washington. And we are ready to work cannot bipartisan way on real solutions to create jobs rebuild you're saying. And get our economy moving again. Let's hope the Democrats in charge are as well. Thank you -- listening."
