Almost one hundred Democrats want no cuts...just keep running the credit card! by Mark Vogl

The November, 2010 election has had an impact on our nation's course. Almost one hundred Democrat House members voted to raise the debt ceiling without cutting one dime of spending. If the Democrats had held onto the House last November, the debt ceiling would not even be an issue.
For once, the American people have had a real impact on Washington. The Tea Party's success in electing fiscally conservative Republicans to a House Majority has placed a road block to President Obama's liberal agenda. Endless spending without tax increases is at an end. The Republicans in the House have placed a line in the sand. They call for cuts equal or greater than the amount Obama wants to raise the debt ceiling.
This is the right battleground. This is where Americans need to see and understand the fight. The fight is, do you want higher taxes or do you want smaller government. It's one or the other! The Republicans want smaller government. The Democrats, at least the almost 100 who voted to raise the ceiling without cuts seem to be saying: raise the taxes!!!
Folks, this is important. This fight could signal a huge course change. If Republicans stand together, they can reverse the "Hope and Change" and redistribution revolutions.
How much can the Republicans get for the vote to raise the debt ceiling? Can they get a Balanced Budget Amendment? Can they get massive cuts in spending? Can they get a repeal of Obama Care? There are alot of questions, a lot of opportunities. America's national credit worthiness is at stake. Whether Wall Street Houses address the nation's credit rating or not, foreign nations like China, Saudi Arabia, and others have to be seriously following what is going on in Washington. If the US doesn't tighten its belt, the value of the dollar will plummet. And the more time Obama and the Republicans take to resolve the issue the more chance foreign investment will go somewhere else.
President Obama, the "Hope and Change" liberal President has run smack dab into the real obstacle to socialism in America...taxes! Americans don't like them. Oh, the heads of government unions do, and those who benefit from government spending do, and those who don't pay taxes don't care...but for the rest of us, we hate taxes. We already don't make enough, and then the government takes what we make. They take it at the gas pump, they take it in property taxes, they take it in sales taxes, and they take it in federal taxes and social security. They simply take, and take.
Americans are saying at the ballot box, no more. You have enough. Stop.
The Republicans must stay as the voice of the people who elected them. And because the economy continues to suffer, stopping tax increases is vital.
Americans need to see with their own eyes that President Obama and at least one hundred Democrats in the House think government is not big enough, and that we need to continue to grow the national debt..by trillions!
For once, the Republicans are fighting at the right place, at the right time, for the right thing.
