From the House: Republicans on Economic Recovery

I’m in the House today, where the Republican Working Group on Economic Recovery is meeting to hear testimony from conservative think-tankers, Mitt Romney, and Meg Whitman. “We can work together” with Democrats, says party whip Eric Cantor. Everything is packaged as ideas for Barack Obama, who has asked for “inclusiveness.”

“Many Americans are skeptical that increased spending on government projects will increase economic growth,” says Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio). “Instead of taxing less and spending more we might need to think about taxing less and spending less. A novel idea, here in Washington!”
