Stossel 2013 -
Overview:From John Stossel's blog: President Obama told John Boehner that America does not have a spending problem. But we do! I was astonished to learn that in 2006, when George W. Bush was President, then-Senator Obama was actually upset about our national debt. From the Congressional Record: "I rise today to talk about America's debt problem... Our federal debt has increased by $3.5 trillion to $8.6 trillion. That is ‘trillion' with a ‘T'...It took 42 Presidents 224 years to run up only $1 trillion of foreign-held debt. This administration did more than that in just 5 years." That's true. But Obama's administration ran up another $6 Trillion in debt! Government now spends $3.5 trillion every year. How is that not a spending problem?! On tonight's show, we bring in comedian Reggie Brown to re-enact parts of that speech by President Obama. Our special correspondent, Kennedy, went to the Inauguration Monday to talk to the President's excited supporters.
