Shove it, Steny ... you were peddling the same line of crap when I lived in PG County, aeons ago.

It stank then, it stinks now.

Same as you.

Democrats never stop spending. they just like to raise our taxes so they never have to quit spending our money we earn because we work.

Unlike Congress.

Cut spending?? Where is the evidence that these idiots would ever cut spending?

Until manufacturing comes back to our shores to produce most of what we consume, raising taxes will do nothing but increase the monster at this time and shrink consumeer spending even more.

Therefore, tax cuts are in order. #1 US Corporations, #2 Small Businesses, #3 Middle Class America, the completely abolish about 1/2 of the social welfare (ACRORN, ACLU, LA Raza, etc.) type programs and BS research programs. Congress too needs to step up and take a 15% cut in pay pronto!!

No Steny No! The answer is to fire as many of you degenerate pigs as possible in November. Cut taxes and put the ax to much of the mess Obozo has done and impeach him if he resists.

Steny: I am a hardened drug addict. I have been borrowing money and stealing money (and even printing money) to buy as many drugs as I can, but I still need more. I know that it can’t keep going on like this. Give me the money, and I promise to cut back on my drug use. Trust me!

At this point raising taxes will result in less revenue to the treasury.

Sometime before the election an interviewer asked candidate Obama if he thought that taxes should be raised even though it meant less money coming into the treasury. He responded to the effect that taxes needed to be raised so the rich would be paying their fair share (or something like that). His answer showed rather glaringly that he was perfectly willing to cut off his nose to spite his face - that he was an ideologue rather than a practical man.

They’ll spend trillions that don’t exist but they won’t cut taxes by the same amount. That’s actually damned stupid.

Right. But Hussein promised no one making less than $250K would get tax increases. So I guess, Steny, you’re SOL.

SET THEIR LOCAL AND DC LINES ON FIRE!
PLEASE ASK THEM TO REPEAL THE BIG NEW FEES in TRICARE for Life, the retired Military over 65 secondary health ins. which they passed in a DOD bill. They promised our Military these benefits, and our Military have earned them.

Rename, repackage, rewrite it a tad smaller, and sell another pig in a poke. NO COLAs for granny, retired Military or retired fed employees. BIG NEW fees for Tricare for Life retired over 65 Military’s secondary health ins.

TRI CARE FOR LIFE This from a google search:

http://economicspolitics.blogspot.com/2009/05/tricare-for-life-is-obama-trying-to.html

This option would help reduce the costs of TFL, as well as costs for Medicare, by introducing minimum out-of pocket requirements for beneficiaries. Under this option, TFL would not cover any of the first $525 of an enrollee’s cost-sharing liabilities for calendar year 2011 and would limit coverage to 50 percent of the next $4,725 in Medicare cost sharing that the beneficiary incurred. (Because all further cost sharing would be covered by TFL, enrollees could not pay more than $2,888 in cost sharing in that year.) http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/99xx/doc9925/12-18-HealthOptions.pdf

By Rick Maze - Staff writer, Oct 7, 2009

Tricare fee increases imposed last week by the Defense Department will be repealed by a provision of the compromise 2010 defense authorization bill unveiled Wednesday by House and Senate negotiators.
Snip The fee increases were announced on Sept. 30 and took effect on Oct. 1, but the defense bill, HR 2647, includes a provision barring any fee increases until the start of fiscal 2011.

Snip

Retired Army Maj. Gen. Bill Matz, president of the National Association for Uniformed Services, said the announcement of fee increases was shocking considering that the Obama administration promised earlier this year to hold off on any new fee Tricare fee increases until fiscal 2011.

“President Obama and DoD assured NAUS and the entire military family earlier this year that there would rightly be no increases in any Tricare fees” in fiscal 2010, Matz said. “We took them at their word, and I can’t believe that a co-pay increase like this was allowed to go forward,” he added.

Drop taxes and drop spending. THAT will be the real problem solver. It’s not that hard to understand folks.
