John McCain, Vindicated

Got to give the guy credit...he called it. Too bad so many guzzled the hopeychangey flavored kool-aid thinking they were one of the 95% that was going to get a tax cut.

Orszag at first dodged the question, saying he was sure the final Obama budget will "reflect a fiscally sustainable path." But the questioner persisted: Are those deficits sustainable? Relenting, Orszag said such deficits, in the range of five percent of the Gross Domestic Product, "would lead to rising debt-to-GDP ratios in a manner that would ultimately not be sustainable."

The simple version of that is: If the Congressional Budget Office projections are correct, we're headed for hell in a handbasket.

I asked McCain what might happen if Obama and Orszag get their way. First, the U.S. could have to print a lot of new money, "running the huge risk of inflation and returning to the situation of the 1970s, only far worse," McCain said. The second option is to raise taxes.

Just this week, former Clinton budget director Alice Rivlin conceded that Obama's budget could present a "scary scenario" that would "raise deficits to unsustainable levels well after the economy recovers." The solution, she wrote, is higher taxes, and not just for the richest of the rich.

Of course, that's what McCain said during the campaign. And it's what the much-maligned Joe the Plumber said, too. Remember when he took so much flak for objecting to Obama's plan to raise taxes only on those Americans making more than $250,000 a year? Joe didn't make anything near that, the critics said, so why was he worrying?

This is, of course, exactly what Clinton did in his first term: promised tax cuts for the middle class and raised them on everyone. The ad practically writes itself. Just show clips of Obama promising a tax cut for 95% of Americans - shouldn't be too hard to find since he repeated that claim lie every day. After playing a few of those clips, toss a few quotes from Peter Orszag onto the screen, and maybe include some of Obama's fumbling at the news conference about how "we already had [the tax cut] in the recovery."

This is the second time a Democrat president has promised tax cuts on the campaign trail and then broken the promise. You'd think voters would have learned a simple truth by now: you aren't going to get tax cuts out of Democrats.

Update - In the comments, FireHorse corrects the record:

To be fair, President Clinton didn't renege on his pledge of a middle-class tax cut. President-elect Clinton did that. He couldn't even wait until he took office to make bad on his word.

(My source, by the way, is Bob Rubin's memoir -- hardly a Clinton detractor -- and, of course, he didn't phrase it like I just did.)

Happy to be corrected on this point.

You'd think voters would have learned a simple truth by now: you aren't going to get tax cuts anything other than total bullshit lies out of Democrats.

6 The tax cut smoke and mirrors act has begun. A little less will be withheld from each paycheck but the rates stay the same, meaning you pay more or get less back in April. This is called a cut by the regime and that term will be echoed by the propaganda machine. Meanwhile tax created inflation and non-income tax increases will be ignored. The net result is you pay more and are told you got a cut.

McCain was a lousy candidate and he would have been a pretty poor President, but he was right in this case. And overall Obama makes him look like a real conservative. That takes a supreme effort.

Dems. raise taxes and grow government.  If you don't understand this then you shouldn't be voting.

I think most Dem. voters know, in fact they hope, this is the case as long as the others get taxed while they receive the government growth.

Nobody except us remembers clinton promised to lower taxes, all they remember is "OMG he had a surplus" even though that wasnt true.

Obama's going to raise taxes and blame it on Bush for the deficit he inherited, and the media will repeat that over and over until every single person you start a politics discussion with cites the "Obama inherited Bush's deficit" as fact and that the only way out was to raise taxes.  It's going to be Bushs fault for taking away Obama's tax plan.

It is frustrating.

14 Scary news

A United Nations document on "climate change" that will be distributed to a major environmental conclave next week envisions a huge reordering of the world economy, likely involving trillions of dollars in wealth transfer, millions of job losses and gains, new taxes, industrial relocations, new tariffs and subsidies, and complicated payments for greenhouse gas abatement schemes and carbon taxes — all under the supervision of the world body.

Those and other results are blandly discussed in a discretely worded United Nations "information note" on potential consequences of the measures that industrialized countries will likely have to take to implement the Copenhagen Accord, the successor to the Kyoto Treaty, after it is negotiated and signed by December 2009. The Obama administration has said it supports the treaty process if, in the words of a U.S. State Department spokesman, it can come up with an "effective framework" for dealing with global warming.

The only people who actually believed the Obamanites are the hopelessly idiotic portion of the U.S.. The hardcore Dems who always vote Dem knew he was lying because they know they lie. Their sole aim is, and always has been, to turn the U.S. into a communist oligarchy with them in power.

 

But does that vindicate McCain. Shit no. He is not much better than they were. All he was good for on the budget shit was screaming about earmarks, voting against the tax cuts with the Dems, and voting for the spending bills that the base hated.

 

If he disagreed with Obambi’s policies he should have ran a harder and more forceful campaign in which he attacked the Dems for their shit dealing with the CRA/F&F problem. He is responsible for these high deficit budgets now because he basically wallowed in shit and gave Bambi the election.

 

FUCK McCain.

16 Sadly, most of the 52% will buy into his explanation of the reason he has to raise taxes. He will lay the blame at the foot of the Bush administration and then tell the minions that in order to be "the ones we were waiting for", taxes must be raised on everyone. They will buy it and reelect him in 2012. What in the hell happened to our country?

21 Rush had a businesswoman caller this week who said she just got the new tax tables that are used by businesses to calculate withholding for payroll. The Corruptocrats have placed a tax rate of 7.62% on the first dollar anyone makes and it goes up from there. On the old tax tables she said that there was no tax until you had made $162.

If that is the case alot of those fools who voted for the 0bamamessiah are in for a very rude awakening. Those on welfare and other gubmint assistance are getting a "raise" so they will be happy.

There is no tax cut for anyone.  Taxes on corporate earnings and energy get passed along directly to consumers.  Inflation is a tax on everyone; the more money the .gov prints, the more of your purchasing power they effectively steal.  This is a powerful meme, easy to express and not too difficult to understand, and people will recognize the pain they are feeling when a loaf of bread costs $12.

INFLATION IS TAXATION

Pretty much. Even McCain says "The second option is to raise taxes." as if that was option B. But this is a sham. There is no second option.

This debt is unsustainable and will result in stagflation, period. Raising taxes won't offset that. Because raising taxes won't actually raise revenue, at least not anywhere near what they're projecting it would.

The talking head class keeps poo pooing talks of socialism but it is almost inevitable if Obama's budget passes.  If consumers don't spend and business doesn't the gov't has to to fill the void.  This leads to higher taxes and even less consumer and business spending.

We are headed in the direction of a centrally planned economy where gov't controls the vast majority of spending and economic direction, from energy to healthcare to financial services.

I can do neither. I love this country too much, and I do not wish him success in destroying it.

I watched in horror, as Obama lied and cheated his way to this grotesque result, as the media abetted him, and the populous bought it hook, line, and sinker. He’s going to lower their taxes!!!

Had McCain opposed the bailout during the campaign, instead of "rushing back to Washington to fix the economy" only then to agree with Obama that we HAD to have a bailout, he'd be the absolute mack-daddy in the Senate right now. His opposition wouldn't have won him the election (at the time he might have even been castigated for opposing it).

But he'd be the Churchill to Obama's Chamberlain today!

He could have spent the next two years blasting democrats specifically for being wrong. Alas, the republicans gave the dems the political cover they knew they needed at the time much to many of our chagrins.

Since all the idiots signed up by ACORN thought he was going to pay their rent and buy them cars it's important for the media to push this "he inherited" crap 24/7. As they don't get their free cigarettes and tinted windows, they can still blame Bush, knowing that the savior is doing the best he can to redistribute the wealth, destroy the wealth, and "punish the rich."

Question: Why all the hatred of the "rich". I could give a shit is someone is rich--it doesn't make me hate them. Populism crap from the 19th century? They think there is a limited amount of money and if some are rich then they stole it from them? No clue that they're poor from having illigitimate babies, smoking dope, divorce, and not bothering to learn to read or speak english?

46 The Unicorn (blessed be her holy hooves) is a fictional female deity.
Like most Goddesses, she's invisible and highly unlikely to exist. However, there is much argument as to her exact color, her shape and size, and other properties of her nonexistence. She burns with anger against theists, and allegedly grinds them beneath her holy hooves.
The "believers" famous sayings about faith in the invisible unicorn is that, like other religions, it is founded in science and faith. Science - that states that she must be invisible, since we cannot see her. Faith - because we know in our heart that the  unicorn exists. This is of course a parody of the theological reasoning of other religions.

Not so sure... Romney would never have pulled out of Michigan. He also would have stood on principle against the bailout.

After all, the GOP knows full well that any legislation they propose has no chance in hell of even making it to the floor for a vote, much less passing -- this "budget" is really more of a bloody shirt to wave during debates on the Senate floor when Democrats complain that the GOP has no real alternatives to propose. It also gives GOPers a way to reconnect to their conservative roots without risking anything. That's one of the good things about being in the minority; you don't have to worry about compromise or watering down your message. Since you don't have to worry about actually getting a bill passed, you can throw in whatever laundry-list of initiatives you want.

I think this is why I have become so bored with politics. Not disenchanted -- I was never in thrall to politics to begin with -- but just tired of it all. I dislike politicians as a breed, and my dislike of the institution grows as the size of the institution grows. But I used to find the political hurlyburly entertaining to some degree; not any more. It's just...boring. Predictable, exasperating, calamitous, and utterly inevitable.

The next step in this miserable community-theater-grade political show is when legislators get intoa fistfight on the House floor or two senators get into a "Your Momma So Fat" contest. At that point, our transition from Democratic Republic to Circus Tent will be complete.

Well, yeah.  But if you gut the military by over 500,000 personnel, $50 billion in annual spending, 80 Navy ships, $ Army divisions, etc., etc., plus ride the internet bubble to nowhere, pretty easy to leave a surplus.

Well...I have to disagree (but softly, NiceDeb, softly).

Simple contrarianism isn't what I want. Given the realities of the situation, the best conservatives can hope for in Congress right now is to rein in the more extremist elements of the Democratic party by allying with the "Blue Dogs" and other centrists. This won't happen if the GOP simply refuses to connect with the Democrats on everything. If all we do is oppose, then we're going to lose it all, and our only comfort (and a cold comfort it will be) will lie in saying "I told you so" after everything burns down.

And Nancy Pelosi in particular holds a grudge like Khomeini. She takes every block and tackle personally, and will pay back in kind. We need some Blue Dogs and Independents like Joe Lieberman to run interference for us. And this they will not do unless some quid pro quo is offered. It's the nature of the business. (And not a bad thing, really. Compromise is why our government has lasted for 230 years.)

I would be tears streaming down my face ecstatic and thankful if Obama was even CLOSE to the financial irresponsibility of the Bush years- It would be a hell of a lot cheaper that what we are getting now! 

When your deficit is projected to be several times larger than your income, that isn't a budget, it is stupidity.

 

When you are spending several times your income after racking up a debt load nearly 8 times your yearly earnings already, It should be a crime!!!!

Democrat voters fell for it AGAIN! Just get some guy who can read well promise some tax cuts and they're all on him like syrup on pancakes.

To be fair, President Clinton didn't renege on his pledge of a middle-class tax cut. President-elect Clinton did that. He couldn't even wait until he took office to make bad on his word.

It's been a long time but I remember about six weeks after inauguration him giving a big lip-biting speech where he declared "I've worked as hard on this as I've worked on anything in my live and I just can't do it, I can't give those tax cuts" or something like that. Was it then after the election?

Seriously, is it too much to ask Republicans to object to the expansion if a bill like the Americorps national service plan, which increased federally funded community service jobs  from 75,000 to 250,000 at a cost of $5.7 billion. Only 14 Repub Senators dissented on that.

Uhm, yeah they would.  Even granting you the absurd proposition that Clinton's policies had jack shit to do with the economy surging during his term, Americans are NOT going to be getting a strong economy under Obama in return for a large overall tax increase.

As always, Americans are going to trade tax increases for a larger government increasingly able to smother the private sector.  Only this time on a grander scale and faster track than usual.

I worked hard to get McCain elected, and I told everyone I know that BO was going to raise taxes on everyone who was paying them. McCain gets regularly trashed here at Ace's spot, but McCain is not a RINO.

He just recognizes the connection between payoffs and ear marks, and thought that reform would fix the problem...it doomed his candidacy.

McCain is a fiscal conservative with principles, and a war hero to boot. You never doubted that he loves this country. BO on the other hand has an boat load of "issues" that will come back to haunt us.

We just need to get 7% of the people who voted for Obama to flip...not much really. Tax increases will hurt him.

I just would not want to be married to John McCain, that would be risky ...just saying.

Let's face it: there isn't much that can be done to excuse or vindicate John McCain.  Not after voting for the Obama Youth program.

This is the GIVE Act, which will expand the Americorps program from 75,000 to 250,000 at a cost of $5.7 billion, and:

... also calls for “youth engagement zones” in which “service learning” is a mandatory part of the curriculum in all of the secondary schools served by the local educational agency.” This updated form of voluntary community service is also to be “integrated into the science, technology, engineering and mathematics curricula” at all levels of schooling.

In other words, having socialist green propaganda shoved down our kid's throats won't be voluntary, whether or not they're in the program.    This bill passed the House, with the assistance of no less than 70 Republican House members.  It passed the Senate 79-19 with the help of 22 Republican Senators, including John McCain.

108 "I'd rather lose an election than lose a war."

He said that in the face of a deteriorating situation in which even Republicans were starting to go wobbly on Iraq. He said that with an approaching election in which the Dem candidates were hitching their success on hoping for Iraq's failure. And he said that while pushing for the Surge while his son was in Marine boot camp and facing deployment to Iraq.

I'll always respect that crazy old bastard for that.

But to nudge the hostility to PPV (and the revenue stream would be similar to Cali legalizing MJ) we need duels.  Barney Frank and Bill O'Reilly.  Dick Cheney and Pat Leahy.  Sarah Palin and Katie Couric.  All true conservatives should be in favor of returning to the duel to settle matters of honor (on those few occasions when honor comes into play in our government).
