A republican speaks

Pepper is a Republican I think, and this is what he has to say about the S. package that is going to be passed by congress by Monday. I will say the tax burden in this bill will come back to the working people in the years to come as a tax burden that they may not be able to carry.

My real approach to the government growth bill is "What the hell, they're going to do what they want to do, and we have no power to stop them." Yeah ... a big shout-out and thank you to our voters who thought it would be a good idea to put the big-government, Social-Democrat Party in complete control in Washington DC.

Somehow Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the Democrats in Congress have managed to make this government growth package go from bad to worse. It seems as though their main goal was not in the details, but in making sure that they got the total number under $800 billion ... they assume that $789 billion is an easier number for the public to stomach. Yeah, right. It sure feels a lot better to me. Trouble is, with debt service this is still well over one trillion dollars. That's alottazeros.

What we got in the end was a bill that is two-thirds spending and the rest are "tax cuts". The "tax cuts," of course, are government handout checks. Welfare. For the most part, these spending projects are funding the Democrat platform: green energy, universal healthcare, "tax cuts" for the middle class and poor. Obama's signature "Making Work Pay" tax credit is going to provide an extra $13 a week in take-home pay. $13 whole dollars! What are you going to buy with that?? That's $1.86 a day! Now you get out there and spend that extra two bucks (almost) a day to get our economy moving again, you hear?

Meanwhile, tax credits for new home purchases and cars has been wiped off the map. But don't worry, those people who aren't paying income taxes are going to have an extra $13 in their pockets!


Has every good little citizen gone out and purchased your latest copy of Vogue magazine? After all Michelle Obama is on the cover .. and aren't you just dying to see what designer made her dress or what color her nails are painted? I bet you that more Americans are aware of the fact that Michelle is on the cover of Vogue than are aware that the cover story of the latest Newsweek is titled "We're all Socialists Now." Our power-hungry congress has just run off with the financial future of your children and grandchildren. Well .. at least we all know what's important.
