President Obama has hinted that he may have to go back on his campaign promise against raising taxes on Americans making less than $250,000 a year. So how is that hope and change thing working out America?
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that even if the President and Congress raise taxes to reduce the federal deficit, 58% of voters think they are more likely to spend the money on new government programs. Which means our grandchildren will be even deeper in debt.
Just 23% believe they are more likely to use the new tax money for deficit reduction, and another 19% aren't sure.
Another Rasmussen poll shows that the vast majority of voters nationwide (83%) of Americans say the size of the federal budget deficit is due more to the unwillingness of politicians in Washington to cut government spending. Congress is out of control when it comes to spending and it needs to stop NOW.
Our current member of Congress Melissa Bean has been on the side of new spending to solve the nation’s economic problems. It is time to go back to spending only what we can afford and not leave future generations with the bill. It is time to elect someone that will represent the people of the 8th District.
