Barney Frank: What This Country Needs Is More Deficit Spending And More Tax Increases
From the man who brought us the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac debacle comes the solution to all our problems: More government spending, more deficits and higher taxes.
Make no doubt about it, this is Barack Obama’s strategy as well. Obama’s tax cuts for 95% of Americans? His only pretense to suggest that he’s not a big-government, tax-and-spend liberal? That’s really a tax increase on the people who pay the most taxes, and a check in the mail for people who pay nothing or next to nothing in taxes.
The sad thing is that these Democrats, who have been horribly wrong on everything from Fannie and Freddie to the war in Iraq, are probably going to stay in power because Republicans have lost sight of their conservative principles. Tags: Politics
