The following are excerpts from U.S. Congressman Ginny Brown-Waite, of the Ways & Means committee, newsletter to her constituents:
Congress’ spending binge began with one trillion for the so called ‘stimulus’ which only stimulates more government & more debt.
This week we have learned more of Obama’s proposed budget which increases our national debt by more than three trilion dollars over the next five years and RAISES TAXES ON ALMOST EVERY AMERICAN & SMALL BUSINESS.
President Obama’s budget proposal is troubling due to the massive tax increases. His budget contains tax increases are hidden in using language like Cap and Trade when it shoul really be called “Cap and Tax”.——This proposal will TAX ANYONE IN THE U.S. WHO USES ELECTRICITY. President Obama’ economic advisors have admitted the budget proposal is misleading & that just when they expect the economy to recover, President Obama plans on instituting a $1 trillion to $2 trillion tax on all Americans who use electricity.
Another misguided tax increase is an attempt to reduce the extent to which some Americans may take Itemized deductions on charitable donations. The administration estimates the reduction will yield $318 billion in revenue in 10 years. This will discourage charitable giving at a time when charities are seeing a rise in the demand for their services because of the struggling economy. President Obama’s budget makes clear that he favors a massive expansion of the entitlement state in which the federal government will take the place of private charities.
President Obama’s budget proposal also contains cuts to the popular Medicare Advantaage program; means testing for Medicare Part D in order to push more seniors out of the prescription plan; and a cut of $10 billion in funding for the DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY so that he can increase the budget of the State Department more money to SEND OVERSEES hardly seems like an effective use of tax dollars.
Congresswoman Brown made clear that President Obama’s budget proposal is just that; a proposal. It is the beginning of the budget process, not the end. The law requires the President to submit a budget to Congress but the law does not bind Congress by the President’s budget. Congress has the discretion to reflect different priorities than those of the President.
From heidi4: Please everyone contact your own representatives and let them know how you feel on these issues. They forget but we must remind them they work for us!

The ratio of total us debt of the 700 billion of total us creditworthiness is enormously aggravated with the 700 billion.
