There they go again. The spend and tax Democrats in Congress are attempting to do Obama’s bidding and to spend even more money the nation does not have in a blatant attempt to buy votes in November:
Don’t expect any Republican votes for the White House’s new proposal for a $50 billion bailout of the states. Republican resistance to deficit spending is stiffening, even among moderates. GOP leaders in the House tell me that they were “shocked” at the latest spending plan to pay states to hire more teachers and police officers, adding that there are virtually “no votes” inside the House and Senate Republican caucuses for the new package of largesse. They see the Democrats’ continued binge of spending as a political gift to ensure ever larger GOP pick-ups in the November elections.
“The debt is the biggest issue to American voters right now,” says Tom Price, head of the conservative Republican Study Committee in the House. He adds that “there is still about $300 billion of stimulus money from last year’s spending bill that hasn’t been spent.”
If Democrats pass the $50 billion for the states plus their $100 billion “jobs bill” now in front of the Senate, this would mark the third and fourth spending bills — the stimulus plan and the Obama health care bill being the first two — that will have been enacted almost exclusively with Democratic votes.
And, as the article points out, the Democrats are not passing a budget bill. This is simply more insane spending – while they neglect their Constitutional duties.
How’s that hope and change, America?
