o'tax'n spend - "It's our fault." (by Mychal Massie)

"Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom.  It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves." -- William Pitt, Speech to House of Commons, 1787 source: wrh
"It's our fault."

     I awakened this morning to news that Obama was proposing another $300[+] billion in spending to stimulate jobs.  That's it?  That's his plan?  Extend unemployment benefits, extend payroll tax cut, tax credits for companies that hire an unemployed person - in brief he's proposing more of the same things that have cost billions upon billions, but haven't worked.
    Where is this money supposed to come from?  The late Sen. Everett Dirksen, R-IL, said: "[Think these are just] drops in the bucket? ... A million here, a million there, and pretty soon you're talking about real money."  With Obama it is "a few hundred billion here, a few hundred billion there, - so what - we can print more."
     What needs to be remembered is that government can only spend what it takes, by constraint from us.  Taxpayers cannot afford to continue footing the bill for his wife's haute couture lifestyle, his golfing life, and his political philosophy that the way to solve every problem is by growing government and spending.
