- Remember when the Democrats were busy castigating the one time tax rebate plan to stimulate spending last year about this time? You don’t? Well, after spending a few trillion more, who can remember a measly $200 billion? Well, those rebates never worked, and of course the reason being that lump sum rebates do nothing to alter the incentive for people to work, save and invest (certainly not as compared to reductions in tax rates). So how do any of them, with a straight face, support the same tax rebate plan that they put into this year’s “stimulus” bill … you know, the one where we will see a few dollars added to our paychecks starting in April? Right, if they just avoid the question enough, or tuck it in with enough other spending, they think the rest of us peasants will forget about this hypocrisy.
- The Messiah is sounding like a drug addict today. Oh, I’ll spend less money on the heroin after I get a few things under control. And one way I’ll spend less is by streamlining the drug delivery process. And yes, we are still getting socialism in health care and energy policy, like it or not. As if the last year isn’t proof enough that the parasites in DC can walk and chew gum at the same time.
- Oh, and my favorite part of the fiscal responsibility summit … “we’ll balance the budget, but only if you re-elect me in 2012.”
