How can he even say any of this with a straight face?
“Republican governors reacted skeptically Sunday to news that President Obama plans to halve the record budget deficits to more than a half trillion dollars by 2013, the end of the current presidential term.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty told “FOX News Sunday” that the markets reacted badly to the $787 billion stimulus bill signed into legislation this past week — the market is now down more than 41 percent off its mark of one year ago — and it’s only going to get worse if the president raises taxes.
Pawlenty said if voters think raising taxes will solve the deficit, he’s got “hunting land for you in northern Minnesota.”
After pushing a bogus “stimulus” bill that will cost trillions of dollars, Obama actually comes out and says he wants to reduce the deficit. These people are just too much.
However, we know the real reason behind this, and it’s simply the first way to raise taxes. Raising taxes on producers and employers during a recession is just stupid. It will guarantee more job losses, and that is something we can’t afford in the Obama economy.
