The Case For The War Tax

Spencer Ackerman does the honors.

Here is the thing, its going to be awfully hard for President Obama and the Democrats to push an escalation in Afghanistan without a way to pay for it after they railed for years and years about President Bush and the Republicans doing the exact same thing in Iraq. If we can't pay for the escalation then, well, maybe we shouldn't be friggin doing it.

Something for folks to think about, especially those who CLAIM to give a shit about our deficit.

Republicans Want To Raise Your Taxes...

Remember that handy dandy super duper rainbow filled economic stimulus plan touted by the Republicans earlier this week as beng able to create double the amount of jobs as the the House Democratic plan? Well not only were they full of shit, but they also left out a little detail. Their plan actually would raise taxes. Now normally this wouldn't be a big deal considering someone has to pay for all this spending, but the "party of low taxes" is probably going to catch hell on this one. I can't wait to hear their leader Rushbo rake their asses over the coals.
