Yvette Clarke: fact, i was just going to raise that point. as i'm standing here ltening to your facts, i'm looking down at the floor in the well and i see president obama's budget and the three po the take-away from tonight, spends too much, taxes too much and borrows too much. spends too much of our current hard-earned dollars that everybody has to work so hard each day to earn. it taxes too much on the american family and the small business and the farmer and it

2:27:30 to 2:27:50( Edit History Discussion )

Yvette Clarke: borrows too much from our children and our grandchildren. because they will be the ones who actually spend -- pay for all of this. on the spending side of the equation, i know it's hard to get your hands around some of these numbers sometimes, you just did when you gave the number as far as -- first it was $2 million, then it was $3 million -- two million, then it

2:28:34 to 2:28:54( Edit History Discussion )

Yvette Clarke: the growth in wealth of th country, all the growth wealth, over -- around 27% is going to be sucked right out of this country, across the borders, my picture here of the united states, and brought right here in to o'-- to washgton for this body and all the brats to spend however they want to -- bureaucrats to spend however they want to.

2:28:55 to 2:29:16( Edit History Discussion )

Yvette Clarke: is that what people want? and taxing too much, well, you hit the numbers before as far as the tax rates. and how it's going to hit on the families and budget and the last one, on borrowing too much, the debt of this country, and it's impossible to wrap your hands around these things but the debt of this country, the public debt, will reach 58.7% of the g.d.p. this year and eventually rise to 2/3 of

2:29:17 to 2:29:25( Edit History Discussion )

Yvette Clarke: g.d.p. in just a short -- in a couple of years. last time it was like that was in the early 1950's after the war and it's been on a steady
