Budget Hawk Kent Conrad Blesses Biggest Deficit, Most Overreaching Budget In History
Conrad is profoundly a partisan hack. He said this about Obama’s budget:
Democratic Senator Kent Conrad, chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, told reporters, “For every one of his (Obama’s) key priorities, reducing dependence on foreign energy, making possible healthcare reform, a focus on excellence in education, none of those things could have been pursued effectively without this budget.”
Let’s look at how bad this budget is. This budget deficit is projected to be the second largest in history. The way these guys are running down the economy which affects revenues it’ll probably be the worse. Even if it doesn’t hit that level it’s still nearly three times larger than the third worst deficit in history.
Kent Conrad’s a self described budget hawk and he’s PROUD of this budget? He’s a fraud. He’s a TAX, BORROW AND SPEND Democrat. He only talks tough on budget issues when he’s campaigning.
So what did Kent say about Bush’s 2007 budget?
“President Bush’s new budget is nothing new. It represents the same reckless fiscal course the Bush administration has followed for the last five years. It explodes deficits, but then conceals them by providing only five years of numbers and leaving out large costs, like long-term Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) reform and realistic ongoing war costs. The result will be more debt passed on to our children. These aren’t my values or those of the people I represent.
So an $160 Billion dollar deficit is reckless while Conrad lauds a budget deficit that’s TEN TIMES LARGER!
Conrad is such a phony.
