RSC Update: When Debt GDP, Debt Is Too Big & Economy Is Too Small

From the Chairman

Having a national debt larger than our economy basically means two things. The debt is too big, and our economy is too small.

After taking control of the House of Representatives last January, we spent the next 12 months tackling both problems. But aside from a few free trade agreements and a meager reduction in the discretionary budget, most of our efforts have been blocked by Congressional Democrats and President Obama. All things considered, it would be easy to get discouraged in 2012 about the prospects for cutting spending, adding jobs, or dealing with looming insolvency in entitlement programs.

Don’t. The conservatives you elected in 2010 are still here and more determined than ever.
We’ll keep pushing for real spending cuts, powerful growth proposals, and common sense improvements to reform the welfare safety net and strengthen Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security.We’ll need your help to succeed though. Stay vocal and stay involved. Together we can make this a great year for conservatives.

God Bless,
Congressman Jim Jordan
Chairman, Republican Study Committee
