Guys ... just got some figures from Tim Phillips ... Americans for Prosperity ... the " Continuing Resolution " legislation to fund existing federal programs is 8.7 % over last year , which was already the biggest increase in domestic spending since the Carter years . It`s currently being debated .
Nationalized Health Care Proposal is supposed to be announced this Thursday .... Obama says his "health care reform will not wait another year " .
Obama and Pelosi are now championing a "Cap and Trade " scheme that will in effect , ration energy while raising taxes . Last year`s proposal introduced by Warner/Lieberman had these points .... a $1.2 trillion tax increase on gasoline , home energy and pretty much all energy in the next decade . The source for this is : Congressional Budget Office , April 10 , 2008 .
This will destroy jobs and cost the average family about $4,000/yr in purchasing power .... hope the $13/week tax cut will take of that . Looks like this is just the tip of the iceberg ... going to be a real rough next 4 or more years .
