Representative Tim Walz has Potomac fever. During economic hard times he and his party just voted for a climate energy bill that will increase energy costs to all and bring about higher prices on almost everything anyone purchases. The original cap and trade tax bill now has a new name to conceal it as something “green.”
President Obama claims it will create millions of new “green” jobs and new industries. That TelePrompTer sweet talk just won’t fly. He fails to mention the financial hardship it will bring to existing businesses and loss of existing private sector jobs.
Walz says it’s about a better future for our kids.
When you’re looking those kids in the eye, Mr. Walz, don’t forget to tell them you and your party recently voted for legislation to commit unsustainable future national debt for their grandchildren to pay. You might also try better communications with persons of voting age that disagree with your outrageous tax-and-spend proposals. They’re very concerned about the future tax burdens being imposed on the kids. The majority of American people, whether Republican or Democrat, expect their elected officials to be fiscally responsible and good stewards of our tax dollars. Washington, D.C., politicians have not delivered on that.
During the eight years of the Bush administration, both parties spent our tax dollars recklessly without a veto from the White House. Democrats blamed the Republicans and they became majority party. Now the Democrats have increased the deficit spending to new historical highs. There is little money left in the treasury.
Wake up America. Our constitutional republic is being dismantled and replaced by dictatorial White House bureaucracies and appointed czars.
