Graves Says Congress Should Not Be Rubber Stamp On Debt Control

Monday, January 14, 2013

Rep. Tom Graves (R-GA-14) issued the following statement after President Obama’s press conference Monday: 

“The American people reject the out of control government spending that has fueled the current debt crisis. My constituents in Georgia are adamantly opposed to business as usual and have demanded reforms that make Washington smaller so our communities can grow and create more jobs. The president is wrong to think of a debt limit increase as a rubber stamp. Those days are over.

The debt limit is one of the last stop signs left in Washington, and Congress should use it to force the president to enact tax and spending reform so that future generations do not bear the burden of this government’s irresponsible behavior.”

The boat blocks the view of and from the prettiest park in our town. The crew take many of the parking spots around the park leaving families to park across Frazier and schlep their kids, strollers and picnics to the park. You don't get fireworks ... (click for more)

Roy Exum: 50 Facts About Our Bodies

Maybe 20 years ago I became entranced by a book called “Fearfully and Wonderfully Made.” It was co-authored by a surgeon, Paul Brand, and a Christian writer, Phillip Yancey, and gave one specific after another about the human body and how only God could have created such a miraculous machine. Today the book is a classic and I have marveled ever since over how unbelievable human ... (click for more)
