Rehberg tells Missoula City Club cutting debt takes priority

Cutting the nation’s debt takes priority over funding government programs, U.S. Rep. Denny Rehberg http://rehberg.house.gov/index.html told members of the Missoula City Club http://www.cityclubmissoula.org on Thursday.

"I am dwelling on spending because I don’t believe you increase taxes during a recession," Rehberg said, a theme he’d repeat several more times during the luncheon. He also wanted to see less government regulation of business and industry so those employers could create more jobs.

The Republican’s answers didn’t sit well with many of the 110 people gathered at the Holiday Inn Downtown at the Park. Several criticized him for cutting funding for women’s health care, community development block grants and college education while not turning equal attention to oil company subsidies and taxes on the rich.
