Steny Hoyer Suggests He'll Need More of Your Money

Congressman Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said recently he believes tax hikes will likely be a necessary part of any future budget compromise.

“No one likes raising revenue, and understandably so,” Hoyer said in an address at the Brookings Institution. “But if you’re going to buy, you need to pay."

Actually, most Americans are starting to awaken to the fact that there's been entirely too much "buying" going on in Washington.

The author of the article next trots out certain unnamed "experts" to provide cover for the notion that tax increases and spending cuts have to both be considered.

"Tax and budget experts suggest enacting only tax increases or relying only on spending cuts just won’t work."

I think most Americans would be more than willing to recommend spending cuts that turn the budget deficit to a budget surplus.

The whole game that is being played in Washington is a giant charade. We've got career politicians desperately trying to hang on to their jobs, and in order to do that are willing to tax and spend everyone to death.

It's time to throw all of the bums out office.
