If you look through history you will see how in economics 101 it is common to lower taxes during a bad economy.  The intent is to free up discretionary cash for individuals and businesses to spend that results in spurring the economy.  Government’s have the power to help or hurt the economy.  As our unemployment tops the 10% mark yesterday, we are being inundated by stories of how our President and Congress are trying to shove a health care program down our throats.  This program is going to cost tax payers more money in the end to the tune of $1.2 Trillion.  Over the last year and a half we have already had to endure $700 million dollar bailouts by President Bush and that was followed up by more than 1 $Trillion in bailouts and bogus stimulus packages by Obama.

All of this is added on top of the already astronomical national debt we already had.  Our annual budget deficits are growing exponentially and what does our DEMOCRAT leaders want to do?  They do not want to lower taxes to ease the burden on our economy.  They do not want to help individuals get on their feet with tax relief.  What they want to do is burden the tax payers with the most expensive social program this country has ever known right as we pass 10% unemployment.  Our partisan leaders have the 60 votes in the Senate that makes their actions filibuster proof and they want to shove more debt upon us while we are already hurting.  This from the party that sells itself as the party that wants to help the ‘little guy’?  The party of ‘socking it to the rich guy’ wants to implement programs that not only will not help the economy but will make it worse.  My pointing out lack of integrity of DEMOCRATS is not an endorsement of the REPUBLICAN party either.  Our so called Republicans have been spending us out of control just as much as the Democrats.

We need to take our government back and throw them out of office.  If you have a Congress person in your district that has voted yes on any of these bailouts, or stimulus programs, they must go no matter what their party affiliation is.  Barack Obama and John McCain both are as liberal as they come and we had no one to vote for on this last election.  Instead of voting for one party just to keep the other party out of office, why not change your strategy and throw these unfaithful politicians out of office.  As soon as these guys come to the understanding that they will not get our votes simply for not being a member of the ‘other’ party, they may start to realize some accountability.  I am not advocating the ‘throw the bums out’ mentality across the board but rather throw the ones out that are voting for all this government take over.
