Gohmert released a statement Wednesday regarding President Obama\u2019s press conference about raising the debt limit. Gohmert says, \u201cOnce again this country is facing a fiscal challenge as a result of President Obama\u2019s reckless fiscal policy. The President says that this country \u2018must pay its bills,\u2019 and I agree with him. Surely the President understands that we are not paying our bills right now. Under President Obama\u2019s stewardship, we\u2019re charging our bills to a credit card, running up the debt. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery responsible financial advisor will tell you if you\u2019ve run up more debt than you can pay, it\u2019s time to cut up the credit cards, put yourself on a responsible payment plan and to live within your means. We are borrowing money to fund President Obama\u2019s irresponsible, wasteful government. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cInstead of acting responsibly, President Obama demands to spend trillions of dollars we don\u2019t have and is perfectly willing to leave the bill for our children and grandchildren. America\u2019s financial problems cannot be solved if Washington continues to ignore out-of-control spending. The President\u2019s press conference shows the American people that the White House is not interested in responsible spending. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s time for sensible, no-nonsense action. Congress needs to cut up the President\u2019s credit cards, put in place a debt repayment plan and set this country on a responsible fiscal path.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON \u2014 U.S. Representative Louie Gohmert of Tyler is voicing concerns about efforts to address the country\u2019s debt.
