OKAY – LET’S GET RIGHT TO IT. WE NOW ARE FACED WITH A ONE HUNDRED BILLION DOLLAR PLUS BUDGET CUT – WITH THE BRILLIANT LONG-TERM GOAL OF TACKLING OUR “MULTI-TRILLION DOLLAR” DEBT. A BUDGET CUT THAT DOESN’T EVEN CONTEND WITH THE INTEREST WE PAY ON OUR DEBT. YES AN APPROACH THAT IS BEYOND SILLY OR CONVOLUTED – IT IS SIMPLY PITIABLE! I DO AT LEAST ATTEMPT TO AVOID NAME CALLING – BUT YOU PEOPLE (YOU REPUBLICANS) ARE VERY, VERY PECULIAR. ALL YOU’RE ACCOMPLISHING WITH YOUR TAX CUT – IS TO GUARANTEE LESS COPS ON THE STREETS; FEWER TEACHERS IN OUR CLASSROOMS; A SHORTER SCHOOL YEAR FOR THE KIDS; A REDUCTION IN SOCIAL SECURITY, SSD, SSI AS WELL AS OTHER BENEFITS. YOUR APPROACH TO OUR CATASTROPHIC DEBT IS NOT ONLY A FUTILE GESTURE – IT IS HURTFUL TO THOSE WHO ARE ALREADY IN FINANCIAL AND EMOTIONAL DISTRESS!!! CURIOUSLY – YOUÕRE ATTEMPTING TO STOP A RAMPAGING TANK BY SIMPLY TOSSING SOLDIERS UNDER THE BLOODY TREADS. SO? YOU DO THE MATH. HOW MUCH INTEREST ARE WE PAYING ON OUR NATIONAL DEBT??? PERHAPS I’M MISSING SOMETHING – EITHER THAT OR “YOU PEOPLE” HAVE GONE OFF THE DEEP END AND ALL THAT YOUÕRE DOING IS PISSING ON A FOREST FIRE.

IF YOU’RE UNWILLING TO TAX YOUR AFFLUENT CONSTITUENTS – THEN WE’RE ALL IN BIG TROUBLE. WHY? BECAUSE “THEY” (WEALTHY CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS AND A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF WEALTHY DEMOCRATS AND INDEPENDENTS WHO ARE NOT MEMBERS OF YOUR CONSTITUENCY) ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO CAN SAVE OUR BELOVED COUNTRY! THIS IS THE INESCAPABLE TRUTH. THEY HAVE THE MONEY AND THEY WIELD THE POWER. AND IF WE’RE HONEST ABOUT THE DESPERATE NATURE OF OUR DILEMMA – AND WE RECOGNIZE THE INEVITABLE CHAIN REACTIVE CRASH OF OUR ENTIRE GLOBAL ECONOMY, BANKING SYSTEM AND STOCK MARKET. SURELY SUCH AN ECONOMIC CRASH WILL EFFECT EVEN THE SUPER RICH AND POWERFUL. SO YOU ARE SO DISINCLINED TO PAY YOUR FAIR SHARE OF TAXES (YES YOU ARE PENNY WISE AND POUND FOOLISH) – THAT EACH OF YOU WILL LOSE NEARLY EVERYTHING THAT YOU’VE WORKED YOUR ENTIRE LIVES FOR! . AND IF YOU DARE TO LOOK AHEAD AN ENTIRE DECADE – HOW LARGE WILL THIS MONSTER HAVE GROWN? IF YOU’RE ABLE TO FACE UP TO THE NATURE OF OUR PROBLEM – YOU WILL SEE THAT YOU ARE NOT PASSING ON A COUNTRY THAT IS SIMPLY IN DEBT TO YOUR CHILDREN. YOU WILL BE HANDING OVER A COUNTRY THAT HAS BEEN FORCED INTO BANKRUPTCY AND DISSOLUTION.

REMEMBER THIS DIRE PREDICTION. YOU’VE BEEN WARNED.
