Tax Cuts at Work

It has just come out that the defecit is lower than even the White House predicted. It has dropped below a trillion dollars to $247 Billion. This is great news as it shows the tax cuts are working. We can get this defecit reduced completly as long as we do two things.

1. Make sure the Democrats do not take control of Congress, because we all know that Nancy Peolosi and Harry Reid have vowed to eliminate the tax cuts.

2. Make sure we elect true Conservatives that will get the spending under control in Congress.

If we do these 2 things our conuntry and economy willcontinue to be in great shape!

3. I think it's great that the tax revenues have increased as a result of letting people keep more of what they earn, BUT I won't get excited about a deficit that is only $250 BILLION. This Congress has a spending problem, and tax cuts without spending restraint is not sound fiscal policy, and cannot sustain. Bush has been part of the problem as well, as he has failed to use his veto pen in any of those spending sprees.

4. I would just remind critics of this "Republican-led" Congress that cloture rules in the Senate still allow 41 Democrats to blackmail Congress to spend in exchange for appropiations that Bush needs for the War on Terror and Homeland Security.

Bush could go after out of control spending, but 45 Democrats and a half-dozen liberal Republicans in the Senate are more than enough to kill anything Bush needs. Liberal Republicans in the House, along with the Democrats has always given spenders the advantage their too, regardless of Republican majorities.

Reagan signed appropriation bills in the 1980s that spent $2 of new social spending for every $1 of defense increases. Buying liberals support for defense spending was the cost of protecting Americans then, and it's probably a large factor in our ballooning National Debt today.

It's a glimpse of things to come if Demcorats every get control of our purse-strings again. It also demonstrates the absurdity of Democrats' claims that they would reduce spending and balance budgets. They've never done it and wouldn't even know where to start with the massive social welfare state they've created that is growing at unprecedented rates every year.

5. I'm not going to put the Farm Bill, the Highway Bill, the Medicare Drug bill and other pork-laden bills squarely on the Democrats, although I do believe their version of those bills would have been much more costly.

6. Palouse this is why I also listed the two things we need to do this November, especailly number 2.

We have some canidates in Washington state that have pledeged to help get the out of control spending under control. Although I am not a big fan of McGavick he has pledged this and we all know where Cantwell stands on spending. I alos know of Michael Messmore who is running in the 3rd CD in Southwest Washington. He also has pledged to stop the pork barrel spending going on. He is running against Brian Baird who doesn't seem to take a stand on most issues until he is lobbied.

7. When was the deficit over a trillion?

The national debt WON'T be dropping under a trillion though...probably ever.
