What More Bureaucracy Looks Like

WARNING: This is just ridiculous. Watch as the Government Accountability Office testifies before Congress (Tom Price, Republican, Georgia) on a report of ineffective and inconsistent enforcement of the nation's wage and hour laws. It looks more like a scene from a Christopher Guest / Eugene Levy "Mockumentary." The Government Accountability Office? Accountable to whom for what? These guys sure don't seem to know.

Congressman Price (R-GA) issued the following statement in response to President Barack Obama’s assertion during last night’s press conference that Republicans have not offered an alternative to his big-spending, tax-hiking budget. As the minority party does virtually every year, Republicans will offer an alternative budget proposal when his budget is brought to the House floor.

“The President’s assertion that there are no viable alternatives to his reckless spending agenda is false and he knows it,” said Congressman Price. “Republicans have been proactive in introducing positive solutions on behalf of taxpayers from Day One. We continue to seek to work with the President if he truly wants to reduce the deficit, return economic freedoms, and restore the foundation for American prosperity. Unfortunately, calls for bipartisanship from the White House and the Speaker’s office have amounted to nothing more than useful sound bites for Democrats.

“The fiscal challenges we face deserve an honest debate that acknowledges positive ideas regardless of party. We can move the country forward and lay the foundation for economic recovery, but it will require a commitment from President Obama and his allies that goes beyond advancing their own political agenda. Republicans will offer a positive, vibrant budget that respects taxpayers, and we will be happy to invite the President over to go through it.”
