On the recordMarch 26, 2007
Democrats are as predictable as the sun: it continues to rise in the east, and they continue to tax and spend. The Democratic budget released last week proposes the largest tax increase in American history: $392.5 billion. Not only does it allow for the expiration of the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, but it does nothing to control unsustainable entitlement spending. Republicans believe fiscal restraint and pro-growth economic policies will lead to budget surpluses and new jobs. Democrats believe out-of-control government spending should be subsidized with the hard-earned money of American taxpayers. Unfortunately, the Democratic budget continues to squeeze taxpayers' pocketbooks without tightening the belt of Big Government. Such reckless policies will chill our growing economy by reducing job creation. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September 11.
