Never mind President Obama's popularity or the consensus of economists throughout the political spectrum that stimulus spending is necessary. Mississippi's Rep. Gene Taylor is not so sure. According to the Hattiesburg American, Rep. Taylor said,

So far, (Obama) has ignored the problem I have worked the hardest on, the national debt. The debt has to be repaid by someone at some time, and you do have to pay interest on it at some time which is a very real payment.

While Taylor is right that the growing debt will have to be repaid, I cannot help wondering what he would suggest instead. If he has a viable alternative, I really hope he will suggest it soon.
