KSFO 1/16 with Barbara Simpson

January 18, 2012

Congressman Tom McClintock disscuses: 

  • The Economy and how in the past 3 years the Obama administration have enacted policies based on the notion that Government spending can create jobs in America. 
  • That government cannot create jobs, but what it can do is create the conditions that jobs either flourish or wither away.
  • The Tea Party-how they have not gone away and are more energized than ever.  They realize that we must protect our Country from overspending and overregulation.
  • California's RDA problem and how the abolishment of Redevelopment Agencies has long been overdue.
  • The Military, defense budget cuts and when America puts their men and woman in harm's way by sending them off to war we must put all our fight, might and furry of our Country behind them.
  • The Payroll Tax Cut and how we need to meet three conflicting objectives:  continuing the payroll tax cut; stimulating real economic growth and avoiding doing further damage to the Social Security system. HR 3551, the Social Security Preservation through Individual Choice Enhancement (or SSPICE) Act achieves those objectives.

Tom Discusses Sequester and Budget Process on C-SPAN

By admin on March 12, 2013

Congressman Tom McClintock appeared on C-SPAN's Washington Journal on Thursday to talk about the sequester, the recently passed Continuing Resolution, which will fund the federal government until mid-May, and efforts to defund ObamaCare. Congressman McClintock also took several questions from callers on a range of issues.

While the House did pass the Continuing Resolution, Congressman McClintock explained that he opposed the measure because it "allows continued funding of the federal government at the pre-sequester level and…relies on a sequester to reduce that funding." Additionally, Congressman McClintock noted that Congress missed an opportunity to defund ObamaCare.

Congressman Tom McClintock spoke with Amy and Ed of the KFBK Morning News about the ongoing inquiries into the IRS's targeting of conservative groups and whether or not Lois Lerner, a senior official with the agency, waived her Fifth Amendment rights during her appearance before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

On Wednesday, Ms. Lerner gave an opening statement in which she declared her innocence and then invoked the Fifth Amendment. The KFBK team asked whether her this means that she effectively waived her rights. 

"[S]he didn't invoke her Fifth Amendment rights when she gave her speech," noted Congressman McClintock. It's a pretty clear distinction. Once you begin testifying, you have waived your Fifth Amendment rights."
