Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) shared his thoughts on President Obama’s plans for job growth, with Joe Kernen on Fox News’ Squawk Box, Friday. His response to Obama’s speech gives you a pretty good idea how the Republicans are going to go forward.
While Ryan notes that temporary tax rebates and stimulus will not work and will result in a debt hangover, he does see the opportunity to work with the President on issues in which they share common ground, like tax reform that includes closing tax loopholes. (Something Dems want you to believe the Republicans don’t want.)
It sounds like Republicans are not interested in the increased spending part of the plan, but I don’t know how Obama will be able to demagogue that to his advantage. Most Americans aren’t interested in another stimulus, either.
