The President got what he wanted. Higher taxes on the rich. Enough money to run the federal government for about five days.  We still have a federal deficit north of a trillion dollars, and the new taxes will pay about five percent of that…if the bill didn't also contain about 30 billion dollars a year in new spending. And there’s the real problem.  Spending.  

The Congressional budget office says that this new plan adds about 300 billion dollars in new spending over the next ten years. And the President has promised…cross his heart…to cut spending sometime in the next few months or years. Of course, he promised four years ago to cut the deficit in half.  Back then it was a trillion dollars a year.  It’s still a trillion dollars.  Social security and Medicare are still insolvent.  And the President has given raises out to federal employees by executive order.  Hollywood gets new bigger tax breaks. So does NASCAR. And Rum from Puerto Rico. And two wheeled electric vehicles. And Asparagus farmers. 

Oh, and by the way...When the President claims he didn't raise your taxes…check your January 15th paycheck. Social security taxes on all workers go up two percent…so if your family has income of 50-thousand a year, that’s a thousand in higher taxes.  If his lips move…he’s lying.
