The Statists on the left collide with logic about as often as Earth does with other planets. Today Senate Majority Leader Harry Ried (D. NV) (it's hard for me to connect "leader" and Harry Reid with any seriousness) rejoiced today as the Senate Democrats (and let's be clear, only Senate Democrats and every single one of them) voted down the House proposed "cut, cap and budget". Ried was so ecstatic, in fact, that he took to the floor of the Senate to brag that it was "over, done and dead". Thanks, Harry, you're a peach! Senate Democrats were "outraged" that the Bill didn't "increase revenue" (Liberal English = raise taxes so that we can take even more money from the few remaining people in the country who are producing wealth)!
Luckily there is the Gang of Six "plan". Unfortunately, that plan raises taxes by $2.3 trillion over 10 years according to some reports. The way they do this while supposedly cutting tax rates is by eliminating deductions (Liberal English = loopholes that (gasp!) allow people to keep their filthy lucre) and not mentioning that the Bush tax rates would be allowed to quietly sunset, raising tax rates. And those spending cuts that the Six Amigos proposed? We'll just have to work out the details down the line. You know, like they did with Reagan and the first President Bush. I'm sure that will pan out all hunky-dorey.
Somebody better get the CBO on that plan to have unicorns crap gold.
