Tax And Spend Returns With A Vengeance

From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.
--- Karl Marx

Short post about the lies Democrats tell. Question, who is going to pay all these new taxes? Well you are. If you think the crap about taxing the rich is going to hold, I have some Florida swamp land I would like to talk to you about buying, it's a good deal, it's zoned National Park, you can get it cheap ... Today only sale so come quick.

Heritage senior policy analyst Brian Riedl has taken a close look at the budget passed by Congress this week and notes that it:

* Assumes tax increases topping $3 trillion over the next decade, or $3,135 per household annually
* Includes 64 reserve funds that could be used to raise taxes by hundreds of billions more
* Increases discretionary spending by 8 percent for the second consecutive year and does not terminate a single wasteful program
* Completely ignores the impending explosion of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid costs
* Creates rules that bias the budget toward tax increases
* Assumes that Congress will violate its own PAYGO rules

It is hard to choose which of these is the worst aspect of the budget. Is it the growth killing tax raise? The runaway spending? The continued refusal to deal with the reality of the coming entitlement nightmare? Or maybe it is the fact that Democrats just outright lied to the American people when they promised pay-as-you-go (PAYGO) budgeting that would prevent new deficit spending.

I chose the latter, they lied. Democrat Socialists always lie, it's all they know how to do. Hey, Nan, about that gas price decrease? You making any headway on that? You even trying to do anything except blame the oil companies? How about we drill a few wells and put in some new refineries. Haven't done that in thirty years, what you waiting for? 85% of the US coastline is off limits to oil exploration and production and about 65% of the land area. We can't do coal to liquids, Democrat Socialists blocked that, can't do oil shale, Democrat Socialists blocked that.

But the Democrat Socialists sure can raise taxes ... Soviet style communism was a failure, only because they run out of money before they achieved their utopia. I wonder why that happened. Now all Comrade Obama needs to do is come up with the appropriate salute to recognize his superior intellect at saying nothing better than anyone has ever said nothing before. I would recommend the NAZI salute, but that might be a little too much right off the bat.

Hey hey, ho ho, wholly cow where did the economy go. Democrat Socialists don't care about America, you, your family or their well being, they only care about their power.
