the only outrages bigger than those coming out of the West Wing of the White House are those coming out of the left wing of the White House. Just listen to their latest warning about letting people keep a little more of their own money. The White House, only 2 years after calling Republicans extremist for wanting to balance the budget and cut taxes at the same time, now thinks that the tax cuts would be dangerous, irresponsible, and bad policy. This is the same White House that has proposed billions and billions of dollars in new spending programs in their latest budget. Can anyone please tell me why it is that multibillion dollars of new spending programs will not endanger the balanced budget, but tax cuts will? Can anyone please explain to me why Congress should not cut more spending, cut more waste, eliminate more bureaucracy so that American families might be able to keep more of their own money? The tax package Congress passed last year was only a first step. It is time for us to take more steps in that direction.
