The Party of Theft strikes again.
So much for the myth of liberal bipartisanship. The Party of Theft is not interested in compromise, they want the Republicans to surrender on this issue of huge tax increases.
From Reuters:
(Reuters) - Democrats want tax hikes to be the first item negotiated in "super committee" deficit-reduction talks, trying to force Republicans to confront an issue at the heart of this year's budget fights, sources told Reuters.
The tough stance by Democratic members of the powerful 12-member congressional panel reflects the party's wariness that Republicans might try to sideline the issue of revenue increases in the negotiations.
"They've raised the idea of doing taxes first," a Republican aide involved in the discussions said on Friday on condition of anonymity.
The panel has the task of finding ways of cutting the deficit by at least $1.2 trillion over 10 years. If it fails to agree on a plan by November 23, automatic spending cuts will be triggered, beginning in 2013.
If Democrats hold firm to their demand for taxes to be discussed first, that could make it hard for the committee to make the tight November deadline. Congress is due to vote on the panel's recommendations by December 23.
Another congressional aide, who also did not want to be identified, confirmed that among Democrats, "there is an effort to try to discuss revenues" now.
During the super committee's initial closed-door meetings, "Republicans wanted to just talk about spending cuts and Democrats said, 'No,'" the aide said.
Washington is like a crack addict. They will do anything to get more of the drug. Washington’s drug of choice is money. They are not going to be able to borrow any more money, so they need to take more of our money.
And what happens to the money they take?
It is wasted. Does Solyndra ring any bells? How about loan guarantees to Nancy Pelosi’s brother in law? How about the hundreds of billions of dollars in waste, fraud and mismanagement the General Accounting Office has pointed out? The GAO made a report about this in February and the government has done nothing to curb this abuse.
Every last member of the Party of Theft must be voted out of office. We need to bury the Party of Theft and by 2020, we need the two parties to be two conservative parties.
