in case they werent paying attention, we WERE complaining about Bushs and Congress out of control spending.If the protests really ARE about taxes and wasteful government spending, where were the Teabaggers when Mr. Bush was borrowing billions monthly from communist China? And what of the countless billions "misplaced" and unaccounted for by government contractors such as Halliburton? No, spending can't be it.
We were complaining about government spending when the deficit was not the tenth part of what this administration is entirely cavalier about.As Everett Dirksen noted, "A trillion dollars here, a trillion dollars there, and pretty soon you're talking real money." Only Dirksen actually said, "A billion dollars here, a billion dollars there . . . " If this government is cavalier about a trillion dollar increase in the deficit, what assures us that the same government will not decide it wants to spend ten trillion more? The Russians say that "quantity has a quality all its own."
We protest because we understand that every dollar the government spends is government debt. And that if the government becomes uncreditworthy, the blind followers of the Pied Piper call of "Change" will learn to their (and our) cost that not merely some but most possible change is not so much "reform" as ruination.
“The president’s economic recovery package offers a 95 percent tax cut for all working American families.”
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Even when they repeat Obama’s lies they get it wrong! Obama said that 95 percent of working families would get a tax cut, not that there would be a “95 percent tax cut for all working American families”. That would mean that a working family with a one million dollar a year income would get a 95 percent cut in their taxes, they are all idiots.
