"MAKE FOOD STAMPS, NOT WAR!": PROPOSED DEBT-CEILING COMPROMISE PROVES THE DEMOCRATS ARE THE PARTY OF MILITARY CUTS AND TAX INCREASES


DEBT CEILING COMPROMISE IMPLICITLY PROVES THAT THE IF GIVEN THE CHANCE DEMOCRATS WOULD DECIMATE THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

THE HILL:
Leaders from both parties have acknowledged the current sticking point for any deal is a trigger or enforcement mechanism that ensures Congress will revisit the deficit issue in the near future. Both Thune and Plouffe said one of the measures being discussed in earnest is an automatic, across-the-board spending cut that would affect programs prized by both parties if they fail to compromise further.
TALKING POINTS MEMO:
The idea of this sort of penalty is to constitute policy both parties agree is bad -- that way they don't simply choose to punt on a larger deficit reduction bill. The idea here is that the threat of Medicare cuts will focus Democrats and the threat of defense cuts will focus Republicans, and they'll agree to fiscal policy that includes the entitlement cuts Republicans want and tax increases Democrats want.
THESE LINKS AND EXCERPTS PROVE THAT THE DEMOCRATS ARE THE PARTY OF MILITARY CUTS AND TAX INCREASES.

According to John Bolton, if the trigger were ever to be pulled it would put the USA in grave risk:

Debt-ceiling negotiations risk leaving the nation's defense budget in “grave jeopardy,” former United Nations ambassador John Bolton wrote on his website Sunday.

The comments, published on DecideAmerica.com, come as lawmakers and the White House are negotiating a two-pronged deficit-reduction strategy that would start with almost $1 trillion in cuts to domestic and defense spending.

Bolton is worried about a proposed “trigger mechanism” that would require lawmakers to make more cuts if they can't agree to a second round of deficit reduction later this year.

“By exposing critical defense programs to disproportionate cuts as part of the ‘trigger mechanism,’ there is a clear risk that key defense programs will be hollowed out,” Bolton wrote. “While the trigger mechanism comes into play only if the congressional negotiators fail to reach agreement on the second phase of spending cuts, it verges on catastrophe to take such a national security risk.”

IF WE WANT THE FREE WORLD TO SURVIVE, THEN WE MUST GET RID OF THE DEMOCRAT MAJORITY IN THE SENATE AND RETAKE THE WHITE HOUSE IN 2010. PERIOD.

END OF STORY.

  1. What's the matter, did the Teabagger in your Photoshop break her Hoveround?

    I see your support of the "Free World" doesn't extend to free speech much.
