"Damned tax & spend liberals!!" (Republican mantra)

[Flying_Pig]

Reading over the latest Republican budget requests ($87-billion for Iraq; $16-billion for energy industry producers; $100's of billions in tax breaks for the wealthy; and on, and on...), is an exercise in trying to understand fiscal madness and futility. Never, in the history of this country, has there been an administration more fiscally irresponsible than this one, yet, they still have the gall to level charges against liberals, of budgetary ineptness.

The Republicans remind me of an old Richard Pryor sketch, where he's talking with his girlfriend after sex, about orgasms (and her lack of one), and he proclaims, "I got mine, ....get yours!" Yes, wealthy Republicans got theirs, and the rest of us be damned, including our children, who will be paying for the trillions of dollars of debt and interest these fiscal whackos are running up right now.

By the way, whatever did become of the missing trillions the Prentagon can't seem to locate?

But, it's all part of the plan. As the radicals of PNAC are allowed to direct our foreign policy, the Bush administration has allowed rouge and radical elements to determine the budgetary processes of this nation. Their plan, put simply, is to empty the Treasury, so there's no money left to honor the social programs and obligations that make this nation what it is. They want Social Security to go bankrupt. They want public schools to shut down. They want our social fabric to be ripped to shreds. They want fiscal anarchy from border to border, ....and they are succeeding. Could anything be more damaging to the fabric of this nation? Could outside terrorists do a better job than the Republicans at kicking the legs out from under this nation? Isn't what they are doing treason?

Somewhere, ...........Osama laughs, a deep, and hearty belly laugh.

Even if a Dem president is elected, which looks almost a certainty now, whoever that is, is going to face years of work and budgetary discipline to right our economic ship, ....just as the right-wing radicals intended. It will be a replay of what Bill Clinton had to go through, only now, the "fiscal patient" is on life support, and the Republicans have given away, or sold, the transplant organ, as the "patient" lies dying on the table.

Indeed, the Democrats will most likely have to either cancel the tax breaks, or, outright raise taxes, to return fiscal sanity to our government. and once again, upon the first effort to do this, the Republicans will stand back and scream (yet again), "Damned tax and spend liberals!!" We're damned if we do, and damned if we don't. I suggest though, that this time we don't let them get away with it. The Democratic party, and every candidate for office, needs to turn this around, and put the "shoe" on the other foot! It's way past time we started talking about tax and spend Republicans!!, and unlike them, we've got reams of evidence to substantiate the charge!

Tax and spend Democrats indeed! Let's make them eat those words, now, and forever!
