The OMNI-Present Eric Cantor: House Leader hits five AM talkers to set the debt limit table.

July 7, 2011

Leader Cantor Discusses The Debt Limit on NBC, CBS, CNBC, FOX & MSNBC

We Are For Trillions in Savings, We Are Not For Raising Taxes: “All of us support tax reform and simplification, and in fact want to lower rates, because if we lower rates most people would say you are going to have a better environment for job creation. I can tell you one thing. We are united as Republicans that now is not the time to raise taxes. I have talked with the Speaker and he is not for increasing taxes…If the President wants to talk jet owner loopholes, that is $3 billion over ten years. We are talking trillions in savings. If the President wants to talk loopholes, we need offsetting tax cuts somewhere else. We are not for raising taxes. It's not the right thing to do when you have a sputtering economy and so many people out of work.” MSNBC “Morning Joe”

We Must Come Together On Spending Cuts and Getting Our Fiscal House In Order: “It is very hard to sit here and say we're going to increase the credit limit of the country when we have over $14 trillion in debt right now. All of us believe that America pays its bills, just like every family and business is expected to. So we look at this as a situation where we can come together and rally around trillions of dollars in spending cuts, as well as reforms to the system, then we can go forward and begin to get the fiscal house in order. This is not easy for anyone to do, and I’m hopeful we can get this done so we can begin to grow the economy again.” NBC “Today Show”

(my note: I like it best when we call him Boehner's a^%hole. Because whenever we see Boehner, Cantor is right behind him. Not original, but quoted with appreciation)

realize that he is an enemy to the American people and an idiot as well. nt

then you do a tax decrease offset, how does that bring the debt down??
You still have to get all the money from CUTS.........

Everyone should call cantor's office and tell him that it sounds like he is a traitor
when he is poised to make money if the country defaults......202-225-2815

and he's entitled to make one right about now.

The Republicans won this one, no matter what happens in the end. They got a Democratic administration to sign up for the destruction of the New Deal, something their party has pursued for almost eighty years.

Cantor is a loathsome little lump of shit, but he's got good reason to brag.

and believe me, there is no hope of him getting voted out in this white, GOP-strong-hold of Chesterfield County/Richmond. I'm a total pariah in my neighborhood dating back to my "Gore 2000" yard sign. Long memories in Virginia... hell, we're still fighting the civil war down here, and after being here for 25 years, I'm STILL a Yankee.
Next job for Cantor is Speaker of the House.

You gotta admit, they are running this campaign better than we are.
