John Kerry Warns Republicans: We Need a Bloated Federal Government…
Because Obama’s big government mess has been such a resounding success.
(The Hill)- Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) warned incoming Republicans Tuesday morning against cutting back the size of government so much that it cannot contribute to U.S. productivity.
“Do they want a government too limited to have invented the Internet, now a vital part of our commerce and communications?” he asked at one point.
Kerry also argued that the government’s bailout of U.S. auto companies was warranted, and said government-funded research programs should be spared.
“[Do they want a] government too small to give America’s auto industry and all its workers a second chance to fight for their survival? Taxes too low to invest in the research that creates jobs and industries and fills the Treasury with the revenue that educates our children, cures disease, and defends our country?” he said in remarks to the Center for American Progress.
“We have to get past slogans and soundbites, reason together and talk in real terms about how America can do its best,” he added.
Much of the rest of Kerry’s speech was devoted to the need to maintain federal spending on infrastructure; he said the U.S. is falling far behind China and other countries in ensuring updated airports, roads and seaports.

*Sigh, roll eyes*
Pulling my hair out and puking at the same time.
An irrelevant, has-been lacking any perceptible intellect making illogical arguments to a group of sycophants that take themselves way too seriously. That’s our horse-face.
Oh, how bloody crazy is this guy? The twist of having the Gov ‘Take Over’ a private company (that was sucking btw) is now to be nuaced as giving it a second chance to survive. Screw that! it should have failed straight out as i nthe first place.
Now, look at the propted up entities that the stock market is making moves on, to me, it is a huge false market as the bottom must be reached to get to true values. The housing alone is still artifically high so the real value in proper can not be obtained in the tained marketplace.
The collectivst evil progs at their propaganda horn yet again..
Up Yours creep!
Americans knows best what WE the people want, and it sure is Not more Gov or regs to control all.
Where are all the shovel ready stimulus jobs at Lurch?
He needs to spend more time on his yacht spending ketchup money.
let me hold your hair back Teacup,dont pull it out.
Now hold mine….BUUUUUUUIIIIIICCCCCKKKKKK
“Do they want a government too limited to have invented the Internet?”…
Paging Al Gore, Paging Al Gore: Someone else is claiming the rights to your invention…
To bad he couldn’t have stepped on a “bouncing betty”!! This would have put his “shit in the wind”!! And since he has shit for brains it would have been a twofer. But then he would have to actualy had to get in the bush, fucken phoney!!!!
and the answer to question is YES:
John Kerry-who “won” 3 purple hearts in Nam and never spent ONE day in the hospital because of those wounds. “[Do they want a] government too small to give America’s auto industry and all its workers a second chance to fight for their survival? Taxes too low to invest in the research that creates jobs and industries and fills the Treasury with the revenue that educates our children, cures disease, and defends our country?” he said in remarks to the Center for American Progress.
Hey does that money come from taxes…….Because I know a certain someone who still as not paid his taxes on a certain yacht !
You are going to be irrelevant very soon Kerry…your side of the aisle isn’t going to get much of anywhere…you’re in quicksand, in ’12 you’re gonna be up to your necks in it.
Can’t wait.
These idiot bureaucrats make my head spin. I laugh when Kerry says “the workers” … ahem, he means the teamsters. And all I can think of and sympathize with are the GM bond holders who got screwed.
Kerry “warned incoming Republicans Tuesday morning against cutting back the size of government…”
One last point. We put men on the moon without the Department of Education. We don’t need big government to do amazing things. We are Americans and will do it ourselves.
the government invented the internet?
i thought it was all gore !
