This Wednesday, the House Budget Committee will spend $3 trillion of your money. If the new Democratic majority follows through on its promises, it will be a very expensive day for you.
Since taking power in January, Nancy Pelosi and the House Democrats have added $6 billion in spending for 2007, added $20 billion to an emergency funding bill that has nothing to do with emergencies, and boasted that they plan to add billions of dollars to the President’s budget proposal that would have otherwise resulted in a balanced budget by 2012.
Democrats will claim that their budget is balanced, that they are fiscally responsible, and that they won’t raise your taxes. Unfortunately for us, none of that is true. According to a March 14th headline in the
New York Times, “Senate Democrats Offer Spending Plan, But No Way To Pay For It.”
