Democrats Believe In Politics Before Country

The Democrats in DC are already planning on an Obama win and they will waste no time in spending taxpayer money. Instead of wating until Obama takes office, Speaker Pelosi indicated that she would call the House back into session after the election to pass legislation that might be political suicide should they attempt to pass if prior to the November 4^th election.

The legislation includes spending another 150 BILLION dollars on an economic stimulus package. Read this as another income redistribution scheme just like the last one where very few people who actually pay taxes received money back. A large part of the money went to people who pay little or no taxes while those who pay the country’s bills received little or no money.

This 150 BILLION dollars is money the country would have to borrow and is on top of the more than 700 BILLION dollars Congress allocated to pay for the misdeeds on Wall Street. Obama has been in discussions with Pelosi with regard to this and is “monitoring the situation.”

Additionally, Obama has expressed interest in providing states with 25 BILLION dollars to make ends meet (and you know every state will have a hand out amounting to one and a quarter TRILLION dollars). The One also wants to allocate 25 BILLION dollars for roads, bridges and other infrastructure and 65 BILLION in tax rebates. The 65 BILLION dollars would be paid out from a windfall tax on oil company profits.

The One will not even be president and Congress will be spending money that we do not have and they will be stifling the oil companies by overly taxing their profits. Income redistribution amounts to Socialism and the Democrats will not even wait until their president is in charge before they take us further down that road.

Many of these spending measures were thwarted when Pelosi was unable to add them to the bailout bill which was heavily laden with pork.

If these things were urgent then Pelosi would recall Congress before the elections but she knows that Americans are not happy about all the money spent bailing out Wall Street and that even more spending could be disastrous for vulnerable Democrats (those in more conservative districts) therefore she will wait until after the election because by then it will be too late for voters to take their anger out at the polls.

This is nothing more than cowardice. If the items are that important then she should be able to sell them to the public and not have to worry about backlash at the polls. Instead she will wait until her Democrats are protected from an election and then do what she wants, public be damned.

This should be a warning to all Americans. Do not vote for the incumbents. Do not put Obama in office. If these people are so willing to spend our money this recklessly before their president gets in office think about how they will spend when they do not have to worry about a presidential veto.

Get rid of all of them.
