This tactic always makes cry.
Liberals encourage a liberal like Bush to spend like a drunken sailor, but the sole conservative aspect of him refuses to raise taxes.
So after he's accrued a debt spending for the libs on a prescription drug plan we don't need and can't afford, the liberal element steps in and states, "we really need to raise taxes."
Sorry don't buy it. Start cutting programs and eliminating staff. Until that's done seriously, NOBODY should seriously consider raising taxes.
Start by means testing Medicare, limiting benefits, and eliminating the Prescription Drug plan.
Start by not rehiring retirees from the federal government bureaucracies. Encourage early retirement.
NOTE: I'm fully aware, nobody will implement these sensible suggestions, and Obama will probably f.. us up with your suggestions, but F... us for electing the asshole.
Struggling economy, so let's restrict capital, regulate banking more, dry up spending through higher taxes, change the capital gains tax
Why couldn't I think of dumber ideas than that.
