One lawmaker on Capitol Hill says President Obama’s budget plan is irresponsible because it “pushes reality down the road.”
Before their two-week recess, House and Senate Democrats passed a $3.5-trillion budget blueprint that contains nearly all of President Obama’s spending requests. Not one Republican in Congress voted for the budget draft, which will be negotiated in conference when members return from their Easter vacation.
This year alone, the U.S. will have a deficit of $2 trillion, which is more than the entire size of the federal government before 2000. Congressman Jeff Fortenberry (R-Nebraska) says Washington is spending and borrowing too much.
“All of this massive debt that’s being piled up is effectively a tax on children. It will be passed along into the future — or it results in the sale of the assets of the country overseas,” he explains. “For instance, we owe China $1 trillion as it stands now.
“Or the factor that will also be combined as a result of all this is inflationary pressure,” he continues, “which is another form of regressive taxation that hurts the most poor and vulnerable among us.”
Fortenberry argues there is a better budget plan, and it involves “saying yes to balanced budgets, fiscal stability, small businesses and entrepreneurs; and saying yes to helping families with economic opportunities so they can get ahead.”
Yes, quite literally, Obama is putting ‘a tax on children.’
Thus making abortion not only a hideous sin, but also one of the most widely patronized tax avoidance schemes in history.
If I understand Obamanomics correctly, his ghoulishly enthusiastic support for increased abortions will eventually be spun as promoting a huge tax cut ‘for the children’.
The fact that it is dead children getting the tax breaks will be viewed as innovation surpassing the tax-cuts-for-non-taxpayers scheme he’s already divinely designed. The dead, despite getting a pass on the tax burden, will still be allowed an absentee vote…with assistance from ACORN.
I say we close this liberal tax loophole now. Mothers should assume the burden of the tens of thousands of dollars in federal tax liability that would have been shifted to her blessed but unwanted new tax payer at birth.
Her dang ‘choice’ just cost the rest of us taxpayers untold thousands by keeping some new ‘skin’ out of the ‘game’.
