This is a manufactured crisis just like it was last August, but it is not harmless. It creates greater uncertainty in the marketplace and hurts the economy, and so those kinds of reckless statements should be simply out of bounds. To suggest that the United States is not going to pay its bills, to threaten that we will not abide by the full faith and credit of the United States is not fiscally responsible. It is fiscally reckless and irresponsible.

In the Weekly Republican Address, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) touts the Middle Class Tax Relief & Job Creation Act, legislation the House will vote on next week that will help to create thousands of new American jobs while helping families struggling with the consequences of President Obama's failed economic policies.
