Weekly Wrap-Up

“I’d do it again to save lives,” President George W. Bush said this week when asked about waterboarding terrorists.

Remember those billboards that started popping up across the country, with a picture of President George W. Bush and the tagline: “Miss me yet?”

This certainly makes me miss our 43rd President. I didn’t agree with him on every issue, but he’s a good man and a good leader.

In contrast: Let’s look at what we’ve gotten this week from our current President and his cronies in Congress...

First off: Out-of-control spending and an unprecedented $13 trillion in debt.

According to The Washington Times: “At $13 trillion, that figure has risen by $2.4 trillion in about 500 days since President Obama took office, or an average of $4.9 billion a day.”

Just how bad is unchecked federal spending? The Heritage Foundation has an alarming new report.

The Obama Administration has also given us a strange and very narrow definition of “job creation” in Pennsylvania and Colorado.

More bad news: Our “leaders” in Albany are following the President’s lead by giving us new taxes – I mean, “fees” – and an even bigger deficit. Who would have thought that basing the state’s budget on money that didn’t exist might turn out to be a bad idea?

But don’t expect any deficit to change politics-as-usual in Albany.

When it comes to spending too much, raising taxes too high and using our tax dollars to reward their friends and political allies, make no mistake: The liberals will do it again.
