War Declared!!

The ink wasn’t even dry on the Debt Reduction Bill on President Obama’s desk before the Democrats in the House of Representatives began their all-out verbal assault on conservatives. Faced with a real crisis with the debt ceiling, Democrats had to concede that maybe, just maybe, the Government can’t do everything for everybody. And it was a very bitter pill to swallow for these Socialist Democrats. Their lashing out today at Republicans proves this out..

Let’s begin with what Queen Pelosi said -- “Every time I have met with you, we started our session with how many days it has been since the Republicans have been in office. Well, today it is 210 and we haven't seen any legislation yet that has created jobs. In fact, we have seen legislation which has cost nearly 2 million jobs. More than 9,000 jobs a day would be lost if the Republicans' legislation were signed into law.”

I assume Nancy isn’t speaking of the two YEARS (that's 730 days Nancy) when she was in control of the house – and all that resulted in was massive debts and higher unemployment. It’s nice she is now setting on the sidelines, waiting on the Republicans – at least if she is just sitting on her liberal rump, she isn’t further damaging America. Also, it’s nice to hear her new battle cry ‘Jobs, Jobs, Jobs, Jobs’. That’s a refreshing change from her previous credo of ‘Spend, Spend, Spend, Spend’. And as for Republicans proposing legislation to create jobs, how about a bill to lower the national debt so interest rates stay low and inflation doesn’t get out of hand – Nancy, that would be the bill that you were just forced to support that the Republicans – specifically the Tea Party Republicans – got through Congress.

And then Denny Hoyer adds “Let me suggest at the outset that talking about jobs is talking about the debt. The only way we are going to successfully deal with debt is to create jobs and economic growth in America. We know that, but 8 months on the job, no jobs bill for the American people. That is the negligent record of the Republican majority.”

So what’s Denny’s answer – more redistribution of wealth? As the song goes, tax the rich, feed the poor, till there are no rich no more. But, I agree that the only way out of debt is to grow jobs and have economic growth. But you don’t do that be demonizing those that create jobs and creating an uncertain tax atmosphere, massive amounts of government regulations, and crippling health care legislation – which is Denny’s idea of how to grow jobs.

The Democratic plan to fix America’s economy seems to be, find what will work – then do the opposite. Seems like they all want to be heros in a Bizzaro world where everything is backwards. Maybe we could just fly the House Democrats there in those ‘Corporate Jets’ they love to talk about.
