I think it pretty safe to say that most reasonably intelligent folks realize that the Democrats posses no real interest in cutting any amount from our current, and impossible to maintain, level of spending. That would be because it's all part of their master plan to essentially force our country over the fiscal cliff, once and for all. So it is then, that we continue to see Democrats in the House claiming that there is simply no way that we can possibly cut even a measly $44 Billion of spending, while at the same time introducing what they describe as being a budget plan, just yesterday, that includes $1.2 Trillion in new taxes and $200 Billion more in supposed stimulus spending, or twice the stimulus spending that the Democrats in the Senate proposed last week.
Meanwhile, House Republicans have put forth their own budget plan for 2014, one that would cut tax rates and spending by $5.7 Trillion compared to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) baseline, or, at least, so The Hill is reporting. In talking about his budget, Rep. Chris Van Hollen, one of those Democrats who proudly represent the People's Republic of Maryland, "We focus immediately on accelerating the economic recovery, on growing jobs rather than shrinking jobs." Also according to Van Hollen, the House Democratic budget would end tax breaks for individuals and corporations, raising $1.2 Trillion in revenue over ten years. It also includes, at least according to The Hill, higher guaranteed transportation spending,
According to this crook Van Hollen, the Democrat budget proposal also included more spending cuts than tax increases, if the $1.5 Trillion in cuts approved by the last Congress are included. He also noted that his budget, like that of Senate Democrats, ends nine years of automatic cuts through the sequester that took effect on March 1, again all of which is being reported by The Hill. And again we hear from Democrats about how their plan "saves jobs" when this imbecile, Van Hollen, made the 'impossible to prove' claim that the changes would save 750,000 jobs in 2013 alone, unlike the House Republican budget, which cuts $4.6 Trillion in spending along with the sequester cuts over a decade. Spending is the problem. Spending needs to be CUT!
It didn’t take the House Republicans very long to start pointing out a number of very significant holes in Van Hollen’s silly little budget plan. "The House Democrats’ plan imposes over $1 Trillion of taxes on families," William Allison, the House Budget Committee spokesman, told The Hill.. He went on to say, "It increases spending by $476 Billion. It allows the safety net to unravel and jeopardizes the retirement security of America’s seniors." Adding, "By clinging to the status quo, the House Democrats have doubled down on Obamacare-style cuts to Medicare and even greater tax increases on families," Allison said. "We need a responsible balanced budget, so we can promote a healthier economy and help create jobs.
Allison said, and I am very much in agreement with him on this, "It is disappointing to see House Democrats take such an unserious approach to budgeting." That's only because the Democrats are in NO way serious about creating a budget that works toward solving the fiscal problems that they are primarily responsible for creating in the first place. Come on, how can anyone look at what they are proposing, from John Conyers idiotic, "The Cancel the Sequester Act of 2013," to this silly budget from Van Hollen, and perceive them as being genuinely concerned about our budgetary mess? They have a vested interest in bringing about a complete financial and economic collapse in this country, and they are working feverishly toward that end.
