As a present commemorating the first 100 days of the Obama presidency, Congress passed a $3.44 trillion budget. This is the largest budget in history. No Republican from either the Senate or the House of Representatives voted for the bill and some fiscally conservative Democrats voted against the budget too. The Democrat-controlled Congress has just placed an even greater burden on the backs of future taxpayers. If you are planning to be a future taxpayer in America, then that means you. First off, the Bush tax cuts will expire in 2010 and second, the Obama “tax cuts” are scheduled to expire after 2010. Then comes Obama’s “goal” of cutting the deficit in half by the end of his term, the only way he can do that and cover all of his additional spending is to raise taxes again. While Americans around the country are cutting back and budgeting more because of the recession, the Democrats have decided that it is a good idea to take more money away from people through higher taxes and to pass a budget that funds all of their pet projects. “Out of touch” doesn’t even begin to describe this. America needs a viable alternative to the reckless Democrats in Washington.
