From CNS:
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner told the House Small Business Committee on Wednesday that the Obama administration believes taxes on small business must increase so the administration does not have to “shrink the overall size of government programs.”…
Now, little Timmy is a good liberal, so he claims that if we have to cut it will only come from the stuff people actually want and need…but the truth of the matter is that Democrats only putty granny and junior on the chopping block to scare everyone in to making sure there is plenty of money for the kick backs to big, Democrat donors. I really love how, of late, we’re being told that cutting out waste, fraud and abuse won’t have a significant impact…as if it is only a tiny sum that is wasted…as if our dedicated, selfless government agencies are so on the ball that it is a rarity that one, little penny every now and again is misappropriated. I remember a story a few years ago about how government auditors couldn’t account for a trillion dollars over ten years…not that it was spent this way or that way, but that no one knew where the money went, at all.
A properly functioning government can provide all the necessary services at half the cost of today’s government. Graft is built in to the system – as was most recently shown with that Clyburn boondoggle in South Carolina (one thing to remember – if a project is being named after a living, serving Congressman, it is corrupt from start to finish…absolutely no doubt about that). Money pours of the government not to serve the people, but to enrich the connected, or buy the votes of layabouts.
Geithner did tell a bit of truth today – though probably not in the way he wanted. The truth is that we do have to shrink the overall size of government – national survival depends upon it. Sorry, Timmy, but the free ride for you and your bankster/bureaucrat buddies is over…
