Tom Harkin–Another Democrat Liar on Debt
When it comes to democrats and the debt, they are all nothing but a bunch of filthy liars. Of course we also don’t have a media that will call them out on their obvious lies, so it is up to us to do their job.
While calling the Tea Party a “cult fringe”, Harkin also said this:
"Democrats are willing to do whatever is necessary to raise the debt ceiling, not for future borrowing but to pay the debts that we racked up in the past. Which, mostly was racked up by a Republican House, a Republican Senate and a Republican President in the last 8 years. Yet, they’re not willing to pay the bills,"
Really Tom?
First of all, the debt is not “mostly” from republicans. Obama has added more to the debt than any President combined. Republicans aren’t in the clear here, but to try and push everything off on the GOP is well…..very liberal of you. I guess you don’t remember in 2006 when you voted not to raise the debt ceiling.
You say Tom, that democrats are willing to do “whatever is necessary”.
Again….really Tom?
- Are you willing to defund ObamaCare?
- Are you ready to reform entitlements?
- How about ending the Libya war which was only supposed to last weeks?
I can go on and on, but I’m sure you get the point. How about it Tom, are you ready to “do whatever”?
The Party of Special Interests?
Ask any liberal about special interests and they will claim with a straight face that democrats are free of special interests, and the GOP are being totally controlled by them. Of course they are always uninformed and are just repeating useless DNC talking points. A report released by the Department of Labor shows that Labor Unions spent over $2 billion on political activities, most of which were directed at democrats.
Via Big Government:
In one year alone, just 3,000 of the more than 20,857 of DOL electronic union reports spent more on political activities from their compulsory-fees filled coffers than Big Labor reported in their 20 years of political campaign disclosure reports. And, these DOL reports do not include unions that exclusively represent government employees or AFL-CIO central bodies.
This is why unions must be scrutinized and laws restricting their forced dues need to be continued!
Michelle Obama: “We Have Help from the Media”
They don’t even try to hide it anymore.
Time to Get Serious about the Federal Budget
There are budget talks going on in Washington led by Joe Biden, who may or may not know where he is or what he is supposed to be doing. This is all coming down to the debt ceiling and how the U.S. will ever be able to pay off its debt, which has exploded during the Obama presidency with items like the failed stimulus. Majority Leader Cantor walked out on talks today because of what seems like tax issues.
Lets be clear here. Democrats do not want to cut any spending with the exception of the military….well because they hate the military. The majority of federal spending is on entitlements whether it be social security, medicare, medicaid, unemployment, welfare, etc. If you look at the chart below the amount spent on entitlements in this country is at unbelievable levels.
The last I heard today both the GOP and democrats are talking about reducing the budget down $4 trillion over 10 years. That is just stupid and won’t do anything to get this financial mess solved. Trillions need to be cut now, not over 10 years. The democrats solution for everything is taxes and more taxes. Raising taxes means nothing if you can’t control the out of control spending problem. All you are doing is putting money into a hole that is already gone before it actually gets there. Of course we know the intentions of democrats and their high tax schemes is to punish successful people and keep up their class warfare which they will use this upcoming election season.
Everything in the budget needs to be cut, including both entitlements and defense spending.
For starters:
- Eliminate all foreign aid and bailouts of foreign governments.
- Abolish the Department of Education.
- End all subsidies for farms, energy, etc.
- Reduce the amount of military bases around the world.
- End ObamaCare.
- Cut and limit entitlements such as welfare.
This is just a drop in the bucket, but it is a start. Unfortunately, no politician on either side will even touch any of these things. The reality is the U.S. debt is at a point of which it is un-payable and it is not a matter of if, but when the entire economy will go down with it.
