A Democrat-dominated budget committee has proposed $4.8 billion in tax increases,
And the deficit is 23.6? Let's see, what happened to the other $18.8 Billion? Hidden taxes? That's a lot of hidden taxes. The economic reality is that government is too large and must shrink. Imagine less government. Imagine a park or library run by the private sector. Imagine WOW! as in the things that might be available vs. what we currently 'enjoy' .
Governments do a few things well. The rest, they screw up on a large scale. It's called job security. The question for taxpayers is: "Do you wish to continue to support ineffeciency on a large scale?" If so, keep voting democratic.
Sadly, the majority of voters depend upon government to provide some form of support for their liveliehoods and cares not a whit to change this relationship. Given this, deficits will loom large into the future. Too bad. The private sector could provide so much more in so many ways than governments can, yet the average voter is too dumb to realize this and will continue to saddle themselves with (public) debt.
If I were told I was spending 23.4 billion more than I made, I'd consider myself a candidate for bankruptcy. To the average democrat, deep sand would do the job. A good place to put your head, I suppose.
