Democrats just passed a tax increase, but that isn’t stopping them from demanding more. Nothing is ever enough for their insatiable tax and spend appetite. Now they’re threatening not to pass a budget if the Republicans don’t agree to more tax hikes. So now they’ll have another excuse not to pass a budget, seeing that they haven’t done so in four years.
Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., indicated that Senate Democrats would renege on their promise to pass the first budget in four years if Republicans did not agree to raise taxes in order to avert the automatic spending cuts mandated by sequestration.

Reed also defended the Senate for refusing to pass a budget since Obamacare passed into law. “We had the Budget Control Act of 2011, which set the caps, which is actually statutory, not just a resolution between the two houses,” he said. (Read More)
The Budget Control Act? What a joke. Spending has been out of control for years, all that did was seal things in at higher rates in perpetuity.
Progressive fiscal insanity reneges on, extorts and holds the fiscally sane hostage. Nothing new here.

Maybe Lucy won’t pull the ball away next time. Maybe 13 asteroids will hit Camden, NJ.all at the same time. Maybe the Democrats will not keep their “promises”. God save us from the GOP standing between the Democrats and oblivion.

Specific sequestration spending cuts to an automatic percentage baseline budget increase to individual departments was demanded and negotiated behind closed doors 8/2011 by this faux pas president. Bathhouse Barry OWNS them. A politician’s word, vote, or signature on legislation means little in a lawless regime when a subsidized press colludes to concentrate on a pragmatic, pop culture figure instead of the policies.
Massive mistakes from the big government FDR era are intentionally being repeated, accelerated, layered in greater depth for chaos and deception; a crony-capitalist political class monopoly that will soon devolve into a totalitarian regime. Treachery done daily, openly.

We just had 12% of our income lifted by the government starting January 1. I needed a new refrigerator, I needed a new dryer (mine is 36 years old!) I needed to replace a lot of aging things that are kind of pricey. Thanks to Obama I can not do it.
It’s not like I have a lot more discretionary money to let them have.
Why don’t they just get it over with and tell the American people “all your moneys are belong to us…” This incremental pain is just too much.
