The answer is yes with a huge but,so have the Republicans,in congress and the white house for decades. The scariest part of this whole mess is they have already spent our money and now are spending Chinese money,European money, and the money from every other country who has bought our bonds. I must lay the blame for tarp 2(banking),mortgage relief(housing),and stimulus(pork) directly at the feet of Nancy Pelosi,Harry Reed,and Mr Obama. They are personally responsible for the largest amount of spending in this nation's history.
The speaker of the house Rep. Pelosi wrote the spending oops... I mean stimulus bill. Legend has it she went around the house chambers asking each member what they wanted in the bill. It was Christmas day for for all the extreme left special interest groups among them were acorn and Planned Parenthood. The National Endowment for the Arts is also at the trough, just what we need to revive the crucifix in urine industry.
My own state of Missouri is not immune to the addictive power of free money from Uncle Sam. There are two items of interest in this bill: one habitat conservation for the salt marsh harvest mouse native to San Fransisco bay,and the other is a rail line between Disneyland and Las Vegas. They were added to the bill by Speaker Pelosi ( D San Fransisco Ca) and Senator Reed (D Nevada) Every democratic in house and senate had their hands all over this legislative road apple,and they should be ashamed of themselves.
The new budget has even more spending,which horrible by itself, now add increase in taxes, and remove many deductions including mortgage and charity. That combonation is called a financial prostate exam. As soon as taxes go up you will see a marked decrease in new jobs, just ask California they have taxed thousands of companies out of the state. Almost fifty percent of all employers are small businesses. Those can will flee to countries like Ireland and Dubai, you think we complained about outsourcing before the outrage is just beginning. The rest will struggle, and many will fail, and the leftover are nothing walking wounded.
The one positive thing of the whole stimulus fiasco was all the republicans in congress but three (they will lose their parties primary my prediction) voted no.The dire result of this will be a totally out of control government,a devalued dollar,and massive debt. The democrats better be praying for a mircle that this works,or they themselves may face tough primary challengers.
Today the omnibus budget
