And, he didn’t bat an eye…
Missouri Governor Jay Nixon is not worried about paying off the trillion dollar Generational Theft Act…
Missouri kids and grandkids will just have to pay it off:
Well, at least this democrat admits the kids and grandkids are going to get stuck with the bill.
The New Leader reported that Missouri Governor Jay Nixon (D-MO) told CSPAN this weekend in Washington DC that:
“Missourian’s paid their taxes, and if there’s debt, Missouri kids and grandkids will pay that debt off,” Nixon said Sunday morning on C-SPAN’s Washington Journal…
…The governor very cavalierly dismissed this fiscal responsibility argument as a non-issue.
“My golly, this is chance to transform our economy, this is a chance to balance our budget, this is a chance to move forward,” Nixon said.
Nixon later repeated his earlier argument that “the debt” the country “may have” as a result of the bill will get paid off by people’s “kids and grandkids.”
Here’s the full video at CSPAN.
In Missouri, the governor does not even know how he’s going to spend all of the spendulus money. He’s even set up a website Transform gov to ask for tips on how to spend the money in Missouri.
And yet he is willing to hand off the tab to Missouri’s kids and grandkids.
That is the epitome of selfishness and irresponsibility.
