So Washington DC has finally come up with what the leaders think will be a good deal for the United States...Okay Hurray right? Maybe Not. Why is it that it takes Washington DC until the very last minute to get anything done? The Republicans want a Balanced Budget Amendment, No New Taxes, and cuts to entitlement programs, the Democrats want tax increases, no budget amendment, and cuts to the defense department. What seems to be the problem? Well let's dive further into the Democrats minds if I can...
The Democrats want to increase taxes on anybody making $250K+ per year, sounds great right? Not really when you dive into the population that makes over $250K, this segment of the population is made up of the small business owner, the business who creates 70%+ of the jobs in this country, so if you raise taxes on those individuals, how are they going to hire new help...the answer THEY WON'T! Why don't the Democrats want a balanced budget amendment, most of the voting public wants one, so why not put it in? The Democrats, under this administration just want to spend more with less money coming in. If this country were a family or a business we would have already been through bankruptcy a few times. Balance the damn budget and get this country back on track.
I had a relative tell me last week that he thought the House should have passed everything they were going to and then tell the Senate "We are in recess until you pass one of our bills!" Then the Reps. get to come home until the Senate passes their bill or the country defaults. The House could have looked at them and said "We did our Job, now it is time to do Yours!"
