Same Ol' Situation...

The same president and virtually the same old house and senate in Washington DC.  And now we’re up against the old problem of a government that spends a trillion bucks more than it takes in. This is not the time for conservatives to compromise on raising taxes.  

Two big reasons for that.  

First, raising taxes retards the economy. Ask any economist and he’ll tell you, “if you want less of something, tax it”. Second, Washington has a spending problem. Giving Harry Reid and Barry and Nancy more money is like giving Jack Daniels to a drunk. It might make him feel better for a while but in the end it just encourages him.  

We will hit the government’s borrowing limit, again, of 16 trillion dollars before Christmas. And with the Marxist in office for another four years, we’re on track to hit 20 trillion in total debt by the end of his term.  Interest rates are low now…but if and when they pop up…well, at five percent, the interest on 20 trillion is a trillion dollars a year…about one third of the entire federal budget.
