Reducing our debt can’t be done with a magic wand—or a magic coin #stopthecoin
I introduced the #StopTheCoin Act to close the trillion dollar coin loophole so we can focus on real debt reduction http://t.co/Xxtl287K
Why did it take so long to "rule out" magic $1T coin? Still need to close the coin loophole and get serious about real debt reduction.
Good news about BPA’s Ponderosa Substation upgrade. This additional power is essential for growing our economy and jobs in central Oregon.
I'll be live on the Laura Ingraham show at 7:15 Pacific to talk #stopthecoin-- let's take the gimmick off the table and reduce spending.
Great to be in Boardman with the sun setting over the Columbia River. 7th town hall this week, with one more to go http://t.co/cP9rvSNF

For $1 trillion platinum coin to be worth its weight, it’d have to be 44 million pounds. That’s over 44 fully-loaded 747's! #stopthecoin
I'll be talking to Neil Cavuto on Fox News at 1:10 PM Pacific time to talk about my plan to #stopthecoin and get spending under control.
I'll be on the Lars Larson show at 12:15 Oregon time today to talk about #stopthecoin and the need to reduce spending and balance the budget
This coin scheme would be laughable if some weren’t so serious about it as a solution. My bill will stop it in its tracks #stopthecoin
When I ran a small business, we couldn't mint a coin to pay bills. We sat down and balanced the books, like DC needs to do. #stopthecoin
I will introduce a plan to stop the Treasury from creating trillion dollar platinum coins to pay bills http://t.co/IuX34H85 #stopthecoin

Permanent tax relief for Oregon families and small businesses http://t.co/YXWcXkA0
My full statement on the plan to permanently extend tax relief for Oregon families and small businesses: http://t.co/bNh96dRj
The plan isn’t perfect, but I would not sit by as taxes go up on all, including more than $3,000 this year for the average Oregon family.
Tonight the House passed a plan to permanently extend tax relief for Oregon families and small businesses.

Congress has to provide time for the public and lawmakers to read bills before a vote. If we can do it, so can the FCC. #FCCreform
#FCCreform (HR 3309) requires the FCC to publish the specific text of proposed rules so that the public and industry can provide input.
President Obama told agencies to assess the costs and benefit of every regulation — #FCCreform (HR 3309) requires FCC to do the same
#FCCreform (HR 3309) has received widespread support. Find out why at http://t.co/CiXYMfTL
