GOP predicts doomsday if Obama budget passed

WASHINGTON – Congressional Republicans on Sunday predicted a doomsday scenario of crushing debt and eventual federal bankruptcy if President Barack Obama's massive spending blueprint wins passage.

.........................................................

Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama, the top Republican on the banking committee, said Obama would have to scale back his budget, given a Congressional Budget Office report Friday that the president's budget would produce $9.3 trillion in deficits over the next decade — more than four times the deficits of Republican George W. Bush's presidency.


Of course the CBO also predicted in 2000 that we would have budget surpluses through 2010.

Oh, and no national energy policy other than "umm like drill."

No surprise there. No sympathy for them either.

Ron Paul would eliminate the IRS immediately.

Is this the same Shelby who criticized democratic earmarks  at length only to be found out that he sponsored more earmarks than anyone else?  Of course, Shelby said his earmarks were "good earmarks."

Is this the same Shelby that Pat Buchanan named a "Toyota Republican" having sold out his allegiance to Japanese car makers?

Is this the same Shelby who was investigated by a network who found most of his constituents just rolled their eyes at the mention of his name?

For a second I was worried.

"Toyota Republican"... well, that's a bit unfair. Toyota IS a major employer in his state, from what I understand. And at least Toyota had the brains to keep moving with the market demands instead of still cranking out the same gas guzzling, tired ass designs decade after decade.

If Buchannan hates him, I guess that's a plus in my book! :)

This just in: BOTH parties are up to their collective ass in responsibility for the mess we're in, but all some people see is an opportunity to advance their own political programme. Stay tuned for a psychology lesson on egotism at 11:00!

The idea of spending - good when our guy does it, bad when their guy does it  - is ridiculous.

It depends on what the spending is for.
