From tax and spend to spend and tax
The administration has suddenly realized they might have to actually pay for all their spending. The typical slam on the Democrats is they are "tax and spend." This administration promised us change. What we got is spend and tax. Very sneaky on their part. Once the money has been spent of course there can be no debate about raising revenue (read: your taxes) to fund the spending. Why balancing the budget is as American as apple pie! It's easy to see why the administration is in such a rush to implement all their spending plans with no debate or consideration of how to fund it. The more people find out about it the less they like it.
This is like lending the most irresponsible member of the family a credit card to use for the night and it comes back maxed to the limit. I see why the Senate never let Mr. Obama have the credit card when he was a mere senator. Now that he's the president and they hold the majority, for now, the sky is the limit. I'm sure the Democrats standing for election in the next cycle are really happy about their future role as apologists for the Obama deficits, the Obama tax increases and the Obama inflation.
