Herman Cain update 3/4/2009
| President Obama and the Democrat controlled Congress passed a massive $789 billion expansion of government literally overnight, while not one member of Congress or the public had an opportunity to read the legislation, let alone provide any input. You may recall that the President campaigned on transparency.
The President also campaigned on passing legislation without pet project earmarks. He is about to sign the $410 billion Omnibus Appropriations Bill for fiscal year 2009, which contains 8600 pet projects by members of Congress. He and his staff calls that “last year’s business, let’s just move on.”
We have heard the President, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi talk of bi-partisan cooperation many times in speeches. Yet, Republican ideas or alternatives have been ignored and met with responses of “we won, we wrote the bill”.
Despite the thousands of emails and phone calls we and others have generated, they continue to pass runaway spending legislation loaded with sneak-a-taxes, new taxes and funding for new government programs, while not seriously addressing the big problems of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid spending.
An equally big problem is the soon to be “Worse Than Expected” shortfall in federal tax revenue, which puts us on a certain trajectory for an extended recession.
In the first 100 days of President Obama and the Democrat controlled Congress, it’s been business worse than usual in Washington D.C. We now have an economic crisis and a leadership crisis.
Be reminded that our IT movement is a not a “sprint”.
It’s a “marathon”.
