Delivering the Weekly Republican Address, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) highlights his call for bipartisan action on a plan to avert the fiscal cliff and help our economy grow and create jobs, which is critical to solving our debt. A former small business owner, Boehner notes that a Senate-passed proposal to go off part of the fiscal cliff by raising the top two tax rates would, according to independent accounting firm Ernst & Young, destroy more than 700,000 American jobs. "Instead of raising tax rates on the American people and accepting the damage it will do to our economy," Boehner says, "let's start to actually solve the problem" and make 2013 the "year to begin to solve our debt through tax reform and entitlement reform." Boehner also thanks America's veterans and their families for their service as the nation prepares to mark Veterans Day.

    The GOP no longer represents a majority of American Conservatives, who are at-heart, much closer to Barry Goldwater, than they ever were to "The Two Bushies".

    Jurassic Conservatives are beyond ready to cast off NeoCons like Boehner, who, besides wasting political capital on fringe issues, couldn't sell ice water at the Gates of Hell.

  • Get rid of obamacare and other wasteful entitlement programs. What was that in 30's repealing social security and have not done it now the same with obamacare. We sent you to do a job and so do your job or we will vote you out. Get rid of obamacare as people are still wanting it to be repealed.

  • MY FELLOW REPUBLICAN FRIENDS I KNOW YOU HAVE TO PROTECT SPECIAL INTERESTS AND THAT'S OKAY. PLEASE WORK WITH BARAK AND PLEASE DO NOT CUT FEDERAL UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE A JOB I WAS LAY OFF 3 MONTHS AGO.

    MY UNEMPLOYMENT HAS BEEN CUT 45% BECAUSE I PAY CHILD SUPPORT. I NEED AT LEAST $13 PER HOUR PLUS A PART TIME JOB TO MAKE IT AND NO ONE SO FAR WANTS TO PAY $13.

    PLEASE WORK ON A DEAL AND DO NOT CUT UNEMPLOYMENT.

    THANK YOU MR. BOEHNER.

  • John, DO NOT give a inch. My mother in law is one of those small business owners Barry wants to bury in taxes & she doesn't have the income level that compares to those of you who're tasked with serving us. My income is no where near 50k & even though raising our taxes via the rates & BarryCare will cause me to file for bankruptcy I'm prepared to do the best I can with what I've got not what the government will give me. The government was never intended to benefit, it was meant to protect, do it

  • Repeal obamacare and do the will of the people. You were sent to do a job now do it and that includes repeal of obamacare as like it or not it will be repealed one day or another in one way or another. Hold your oath to protect the constitution and that includes from unconstitutional waste like obamacare. We just people should just not pay our income tax in response till obamacare is repealed. The states should also deny all obamacare funding also. Repeal obamacare now as the people said.

  • Whatever you do don't ever raise taxes Mr. Boehner. When Obama won I though all hope was lost for the economy but then I saw the republicans still controlled the house. Don't capitulate to Obama. Stand up to him like you did in 2010. Do not compromise and stand your ground at all costs.
