@RepGoodlatte yes. It needs to be a two path approach to solving. You can’t talk about spending cuts without also talking debt reduction.
@RepGoodlatte and debt reduction requires smarter spending AND more revenue.
@matthewleech You talk like @RepGoodlatte has a Twitter account to actually listen to his constituents.
@shaneglass @RepGoodlatte I know… at least an overworked staffer might see it.
@RepGoodlatte Still doesn't change the FACT that you could pledge to vote today for no tax raise on the first 250k for EVERYONE #my2k
@RepGoodlatte The debt of the Federal gov't is an ASSET of the non-gov't (private sector).
@RepGoodlatte Spending cuts are the fiscal equivalent of TAX INCREASES, but they hit the Middle Class & poor!
@RepGoodlatte yes the spending problem is the military budget. #fiscalcliff
@RepGoodlatte maybe that had something to do with the unfunded wars you voted for!
