Quote from Eldredge:
I saw that report too, and she was right on. We need reporters to treat politicians - especially ones like she was interviewing - that way more often. We should expect strait talk from our elected officials, and it almost never happens anymore. The liberal democrats are terrible about this - although they certainly don't have a corner on the market. Just double-talk and make crap up as they go. They should be held accountable.
Right now, the deomocrats' only interest is in raising taxes, they have no interest in balancing the budget or getting government under control.
If I hear a tax increase called a revenue increase one more time, I'm going to barf. These are two separate items. It is very possible to have tremendous revenue increases without raising taxes, and it is also possible to have a revenue decrease caused by raising taxes. The spin on all of this is out of control.
Maria was exposing the fact that the liberal politicians are not willing to consider any real cuts in government spending, they just want to raise taxes, and she is correct.
