WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama says Republicans’ plan to slash taxes and cut spending if the GOP retakes the House in November is no more than “an echo of a disastrous decade we can’t afford to relive.”
Obama used his weekly radio and Internet address Saturday to skewer House Republicans over their “Pledge to America,” which promises to cut down on government regulation, repeal Obama’s health care law and end his stimulus program.
“The Republicans who want to take over Congress offered their own ideas the other day,” Obama said. “Many were the very same policies that led to the economic crisis in the first place, which isn’t surprising, since many of their leaders were among the architects of that failed policy.”
The GOP plan is short on specifics but shows a stark contrast between the parties ahead of elections. The Associated Press
