Actually, I'm pretty sure he's flying in, but Barbour, a likely Republican candidate for president, will address the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce today. AP got a sneak-peek at his prepared remarks.
"What American needs today is a commitment to economic growth, not government growth: an absolute dedication to appropriately reforming entitlements coupled with an understanding that budget cuts must be matched by policies that promote growth and spread prosperity," Barbour says.Technorati tags:
He says economic growth would not be achieved through "government boondoggles like taxpayer-subsidized high-speed rail or other pet projects" or by "having government take control of our automakers, financial sector, health care system and energy industry."
The Republican has ratcheted up his criticism of Obama over the past two years, but on Monday he was offering his most blistering critique yet of Obama's tenure: "Explosive spending, skyrocketing deficits, gargantuan debt, calls for record tax increases, government-run health care, out-of-control regulations and anti-growth energy policy."
He accuses Obama of ignoring the growing national debt, and being AWOL on entitlements like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, which Barbour calls "a failure of leadership."
