Frank Calls for Major Defense Cuts, 'Eventual' Tax Hike
The best thing about liberals like this is that they just don’t know when to keep quiet. The worst thing, Barney Frank is actually an able legislator...thankfully the rest of his House leadership is not. All the better for Republican fundraising and political fodder, and for our chances of winning back seats. - Tom DeLay

Frank Calls for Major Defense Cuts, 'Eventual' Tax Hike The Hill Staff October 24, 2008
Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) said Democrats will push for a stimulus package after the November election, and called for a package reducing defense spending by 25 percent while saying Congress will "eventually" raise taxes. Frank told the editorial board of the SouthCoast Standard-Times that he wanted to reduce defense spending by a quarter, meaning the United States would have to withdraw from Iraq sooner. "The people of Iraq want us out, and we want to stay over their objection," he said. "It's extraordinary."
Frank also said the post-election stimulus package will focus on spending for building projects, extending unemployment benefits, and further supporting states' healthcare costs. "We'll have to raise taxes ultimately," Frank said. "Not now, but eventually." Frank told the Standard-Times that if Democrats cannot secure the votes they need in November, they will try again in January, when they will likely have stronger majorities in the House and Senate.
Frank, the Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, was an instrumental figure in engineering the bailout legislation to the U.S. financial industry, and indicated a new package may seek to ameliorate fears about investing. "The psychological problem is even worse than the real problem," Frank said.

I'm not Delay's biggest fan, but he put Chrissy in spittle mode last night with a similar riff on Franks, because Chrissy knows every word is true.
He is going to do to the United States what he does to other men.

I have felt the same way about Michael Moore. Somebody ought to check Baron Harkonnen’s family tree.
** Never fear. Barney Fwank has a firm grip on the situation. **
