Congress speaks on the Deficit

“The division is apparent in congress.
Republican agenda:
Keep the tax cuts for the1% wealthy-Warren Buffets of the world, no control upon the abuse of the insurance companies.


Democrat agenda:
Preserve and protect so called “entitlement programs” - life line programs and put controls upon the abuses of the Insurance companies. These are the issues that are on the table in congress today.

The deficit crisis came about because of unpaid wars, cut on the wealthiest, and deregulation of Wall Street.

It is immoral what the Republicans are trying to do. They want to eliminate the deficit brought about by the Bush Administration by cutting programs that have been put in place as lifelines for all American Citizens.

Republicans hope to win the election by placing their deficit around Obama’s neck like an albatross, and then blaming him for the deficit and wanting to cut entitlement programs as their resolve. Republicans stand there with straight sincere faces screaming, "It is Obama’s failed policies that have brought this crisis upon our country." They use excuses like stimulus package, and government take over of our Health Care. The spending on the Health Care bill has not even gone into effect yet, but Republicans are blaming it. They simply ignore the CBO analysis of the Health Care Bill and how it will bring down our deficit.

Beware of Republican rhetoric:
“ Democrats are trying to raise taxes on the small businesses,” “The spending on government take over of Health Care is the cause of our crisis,” “Obama’ failed Policies,” and” “We’ve got to do something about the sense of entitlement,” this kind of rhetoric is just not true. Obama administration along with the Democrat congress lowered taxes for the small businesses. Entitlement programs as they call it were there while Clinton was in office. We have the record of Clinton's administration, which brought us out of a deficit and we had a stable economy. Republican leaders want to cut something they have no knowledge of.

Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security are up on the table in congress because Speaker of the house demands this. The Speaker of the house‘s role is very important. Congress comes out today to tell us it has come down to, “Wealthiest vs Most Vulnerable”, and Corporations vs American citizens. They say both sides must sacrifice. It will be painful. I disagree. If we compromise our most vulnerable in order to get the wealthiest corporations to pay their fair share and we fail to take away the Bush tax cuts to the wealthiest the only people who will feel the pain and suffering is the Elderly, poor, working class, disabled, and our children. What is painful is turning on my Television and having to listen to the Republican leaders speaking on this issue and act like they are doing something positive for the American people.

Every citizen has a moral obligation to get out the vote, to change leadership in our house, which directs what is up on the table. ” ~True Blue Party
