Tax Hikes Now for Promises to Cut Spending Later?

On Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace, Rep. Jim Jordan said the following:

"The spending cuts are in the out-years. The tax increases are going to come soon. This is the old cliché, this is Lucy and Charlie Brown and the football. And the American people say, 'We're not falling for that game anymore. We're not going to let you promise spending cuts later to raise taxes now.' If these tax things are so bad that Chris [Van Hollen] talks about, well the Democrats just controlled all of government eight months ago. Why in the world didn't they get rid of them?"

Senator Lee Explains why Social Security checks WILL go out After Aug 2!.

Senator Mike Lee explains that the U.S. government (the one financed by you) has enough revenue to pay social security recipients whether or not an agreement on the debt ceiling is made regardless of the recent scare tactics of President Obama.

Regarding the plan now presented by the republican leadership: "It's not just the best plan, it's the only plan....most notably a balanced budget amendment to the constitution, which by the way, Americans overwhelmingly support."

President Obama still has yet to offer any details of his plan. Remember this the next time you cast a vote for LEADERSHIP come the 2012 elections!
