The (Ugly) Shape of Things to Come
Oct 24, 2008 10:04 PM EST
Barney Frank has let the cat out of the bag
about the Democrats' plans if they control all three branches of government.
Ready? Here it comes:
1. A 25% cut in military expenditures
2. Tax increases
3. More federal money to subsidize healthcare expenses, food stamps and extended unemployment benefits.
It's a far-left liberal's dream package.
Don't say the Democrats didn't warn us that they'll be trying to turn a recession into a depression. And would anyone have ever dreamed that the Congress would try to take another holiday from history by eviscerating our military just seven years after 9/11?
Anyone who thinks that a President Obama -- the most liberal senator in the US Senate -- is going to resist such bills is dreaming. Either he'll happily sign them, or he'll get rolled by his colleagues with experience.
Happy Friday evening.
