JENKS -- An over-valued stock market could bring down the economy at any time because of the Obama administration's economic policies, First District Congressman Jim Bridenstine said Wednesday.
"The stock market is strong because the dollar is weak," Bridenstine said in response to a question at the Jenks Chamber of Commerce. "The dollar is weak because the government is printing more money because the economy is weak."
Henry Migliore, a retired business professor and economist, had asked if Bridenstine agreed the economy is in danger of collapse.
John Olson, Bridenstine's Demcratic opponent in last year's general election, tried to pin down the first-year Republican on a possible shut-down of the federal government over implementation of the Affordable Care Act.
As he has previously, Bridenstine denied wanting to do that, but at the same time repeated his support for presenting Obama a temporary funding measure, called a continuing resolution, with the ACA zeroed out.
Obama, if not the Democrat-controlled Senate, is almost certain to reject such a resolution' leaving the government unfunded after Sept. 30.
