Obama's Budget Plan Increasing Taxes

Most people know about Obama’s trillion dollar budget planned passed by The Senate and it is giving a lot of Republicans, among others, worried about what this will do to the future generations. With the new budget plan, there will have to be higher taxes to pay it off and will leave our future generations with a ton of debt for our actions today.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty says that President Obama talked about tax relief, but his new budget wont be any help on providing tax relief.

“I thought President Obama's proposal to eliminate capital gains taxes for small businesses was a pretty good idea. And his pledge to lower taxes for middle-class Americans was something Republicans wholeheartedly supported," Pawlenty said in the GOP radio and Internet address. "But the budget that Congress is considering doesn't provide that tax relief."

Obama’s new administration is allowing small businesses to have capital gains taxes, but those taxes will remain high even after Obama is out of office.

Referring to Obama’s 3.6 trillion budget proposal, Pawlenty says “The federal government should keep a lid on taxes, control government spending and borrow less -- rather than increase the size and scope of the federal government so much that Washington is guaranteeing future tax increases”.

I think that the government should find new ways to help increase jobs instead of just spending more and more money, when America doesn’t have money to be spending. I believe Obama’s spending plan will be efficient for only a short period of time, eventually all the money we are spending and the money we are borrowing will come back to bite us in the ass when it comes time to pay it off. The spending we are letting the Obama administration do is just causing debt and higher taxes for ourselves, our children and grandchildren.

Obama going "Green"


America’s “need to look to alternative energy is real, as well as making use of the energy sources we use now both as efficient and safe as possible” (Johnson). The push to “go green”, meaning to utilize environment-friendly methods of construction, has become increasingly possible and was repeated over and over in Obama’s campaigning. However, Obama fails to mention who America would be “partnering” up with the make this green dream a reality. Brian M. Johnson talks about Obama’s Green Jobs and the out come of adding more names to the roll sheet regardless of whether those names want to partner with the unions or not. Johnson gives amazing statistics of how much Labor has given to the Democratic Party over the years and makes a good point about “the President benefiting Labor without any regard for the individual employee/ employer”.Brian Johnson is a known Republican blogger from RedState.com and this article was probably meant for other Republicans to read and see an insight on some of the new president’s legislators. His states his claims and arguments with a lot of evidence, including the Green Jobs Act of 2007 and an example of who is eligible, he also includes number statistics on how Democrats are benefiting from certain go green acts.
