Charlie's House of Pain Update - McClintock Radio Spot in McClintock's Own Words
Posted by Aaron Park on October 03, 2008 at 08:40 PM
This is key – Tom McClintock voiced this spot himself, as if he is talking to us. Charlie Brown quoted Nancy Pelosi’s bailout line word for word the other night on Channel Three. Does anyone think we will hear Charlie Brown in his own words on the Radio or once he gets to Congress if Daily Kos is correct with their poll?
Does Charlie have the knowledge to deal with stuff like this financial crisis?
TM: Hi, This is Senator Tom McClintock.
For many years, I’ve warned that the fiscal mismanagement of California was taking us to the brink of bankruptcy. Now we’re watching the same thing happen to our country.
This financial mess began with a housing bubble that government caused by pushing lenders to make risky loans and then assuring them that taxpayers would cover their risk.
Now they want to take an average of $9,000 from every family in America to bail out THEIR bad decisions.
When government takes that kind of money to buy up bad loans, it consumes money that could be used for good ones.
Instead, shouldn’t we change the laws that created this crisis in the first place? And the healthiest way to get more capital into the market is to reduce taxes to encourage new investment – not raise our taxes to pay for Wall Street’s mistakes.
The strength of our nation is in the common sense of the American people – and now is the time to stand up to the leaders of both parties and insist on it.
I’m Tom McClintock, and I approved this message.
Announcer: Paid for by McClintock for Congress.
