More Marxism from this Administration and another giant step towards finally collapsing our nation. Here are some facts about this awful bill:
To paraphrase Senator Jim DeMint: When you're speeding toward the edge of a cliff, you don't set the cruise control. You stop the car. The current deal to raise the debt ceiling doesn't stop us from going over the fiscal cliff. At best, it slows us from going over it at 80 mph to going over it at 60 mph.
■ Adds at least $7 trillion to our debt over the next 10 years. The deal purports to "cut" $2.1 trillion, but the "cut" is from a baseline that adds $10 trillion to the debt. This deal, even if all targets are met and the Super Committee wields its mandate - results in a BEST case scenario of still adding more than $7 trillion more in debt over the next 10 years. That is sickening.
■ Never, ever balances.
■ The Super Committee's mandate is to add $7 trillion in new debt. Let's be clear: $2.1 trillion in reductions off a nearly $10 trillion,10-year debt is still more than $7 trillion in debt. The Super Committee limits the constitutional check of the filibuster by expediting passage of bills with a simple majority. The Super Committee is not precluded from any issue, therefore the filibuster could be rendered moot. In addition, the plan harms the possible passage of a Balanced Budget Amendment. Since the goal is never to balance, having the BBA as a "trigger" ensures that the committee will simply report its $1.2 trillion deficit reduction plan and never move to a BBA vote.
■ It cuts too slowly. Even if you believe cutting $2.1 trillion out of $10 trillion is a good compromise, surely we can start cutting quickly, say $200 billion-$300 billion per year, right? Wrong. This plan so badly backloads the alleged savings that the cuts are simply meaningless. Why do we believe that the goal of $2.5 trillion over 10 years (that's an average of $250 billion per year) will EVER be met if the first two years cuts are $20 billion and $50 billion. There is simply no path in this bill even to the meager savings they are alleging will take place
To the Tea Party - I say thank you for your efforts. You fought one hell of a fight and made a huge difference with the American people.
To the GOP - I say you failed us once again. And once again, you proved that you are just big government, big spending, liberals.
To the Dumbocrats - I say congratulations. The party that has been hijacked by radical Marxists/Socialists/Communists is one step closer to their ultimate goal of bringing down America, and replacing it's Capitalism with Communism. You even managed to convince your followers that the Tea Party "won" with this new bill so you can later blame them for the failure. I've got to hand it to you radicals - you are damn good with the insane propaganda. Somewhere (most likely in hell - where most of you will end up), Joseph Stalin is proud.
