From Dinan and Miller at The Washington Times:
According to Obama, “U.S. jobs are lost every day Congress waits.”
President-elect Barack Obama sought to move the economic stimulus debate past broad agreement on the outlines, pushing Congress to overcome squabbles or risk a long recession that threatens America’s “strength and standing in the world.”
With Democrats’ self-imposed deadline for passing a bill already having slipped into February, the president-elect warned that inaction would lead to double-digit unemployment and a recession that “could linger for years.”
“Every day we wait or point fingers or drag our feet, more Americans will lose their jobs. More families will lose their savings. More dreams will be deferred and denied. And our nation will sink deeper into a crisis that, at some point, we may not be able to reverse,” Mr. Obama said in a speech at George Mason University.
Though he has won support for creating a spending and tax cuts package, he wants a plan that amounts to about $800 billion while Democratic leaders in Congress want to go hundreds of billions of dollars higher, and both parties are fighting over which of his tax cut ideas to accept.
Well, for the man who vowed to not use “scare tactics,” it looks like Barack Hussein Obama has found this gift. Could this be just the beginning of future “promises” to never be fulfilled? You Bet! What’s even more disgusting is that the Democrats in Congress are squabbling around looking for new ways to give away much more taxpayer money than Obama is even asking for; not to mention progressive plans to raise taxes. These ridiculous antics by Democrats should be suppressed before they destroy the lives of each and every American! Throughout history, Government intervention in the free market system has never resulted in sustained growth. I sure hope taxpayers receive dividend checks for all the companies we now unwillingly own; though hell will freeze before such an idea is thought of by “Big Government.” Why should Democrats actually help their constituencies now? Such actions by Democrats would surely break their partisan tradition.
