Hoyer Dismisses Americans’ Call for “Read the Bill” Reform as “Unreasonable,” “Not Relevant”
Source: GOP Leader Blog -- Editor's note: Why read the bill or even allow the American people time to read the bill before Congress votes on the legislation?  What kind of logic is this? is it that of a liberal majority that is in control, does not care what the American people wants or needs to know, nor do they care to listen to the position of the America people on the major issues that will impact them and their decendents for generations to come.  Where is the transparency that Obama promised during this election campaign? Promise #2: Putting bills online -- Obama promised “When there’s a bill that ends up on my desk as President, you the public will have five days to look online, and find out what’s in it before I sign it.”  Reality: He broke that promise when he singed his first bill, the Fair Pay Act. He's broken it since, for instance on the Credit Card Bill of Rights and an expansion of the State Children's Health Insurance Program. We have been tracking a whole pack of "broken promises" since Obama has taken office.  Perhaps Rep Joe Wilson was spot on with his "You Lie" statement.  You can review the list of broken promises here.   Share

The Obama Presidency Increasingly Resembles A Modern-day Ancien Régime: Extravagant And Out Of Touch With The American People

Changing Their Tune, Obama Administration Defends ObamaCare Insurance Mandate as a Tax
Source: NY Times  Editor's note:  This is yet another broken promise (aka lie) from Barack Obama to the American People.   I have never seen an American President blantly lie to the American people since the Nixon Administration.  Just last September, Obama's interview with George Stephanopoulos on the ABC News program “This Week.”, revealed that ObamaCare penalty on those not purchasing health insurance was not considered as a "tax".  When Mr. Stephanopoulos said the penalty appeared to fit the dictionary definition of a tax, Mr. Obama replied, “I absolutely reject that notion.”

VAT: THE NEXT BIG TAX INCREASE?
Source: Foxnews Editor's note: Yet another example of how Obama and his far-left friends in US Congress cannot be trusted.  So what is a VAT Tax?  Value added tax (VAT) is similar to a sales tax. It is a tax on the estimated market value added to a product or material at each stage of its manufacture or distribution, ultimately passed on to the consumer.  For a detailed overview of VAT tax, and its impact on the consumer, please review the information here.



OBAMA'S TAX PLEDGE...ANOTHER BROKEN PROMISE?

"The Senate health care bill crucial to saving President Obama's signature domestic initiative will hit the wallets of a quarter of all Americans making less than $200,000 per year, according to an analysis by the nonpartisan Joint Tax Committee that assessed the way the bill would hit taxpayers directly through new taxes and fees and indirectly through taxes levied on health care providers and passed on to consumers".  Source: FoxNews

OBAMA:  “AGNOSTIC’ ABOUT RAISING TAXES ON HOUSEHOLDS MAKING LESS THAN $250,000 AS A BROAD EFFORT TO REIN IIN THE BUDGET DEFICIT

Editor's note: Obama's Agenda continues - Leave No Child A Dime. Hidden in this is outlandish FY11 Budget are revenues from Cap and Trade.  Imagine that, as Cap n Tax has not even passed the US Senate.  Seems our President knows what is best for us regardless of what the American People want. Time to contact your US Senator and US Congressman and let them know that the Federal Government needs to be fiscally responsible, stop the massive spending and printing of money, and the US Economy just cannot handle higher taxes. We are nearing a complete Economy melt down, and headed for a double dip recession,  if the Federal Deficit spending continues at its current pace.  Some of you might remember the high inflation in the 70's, and that is exactly where we are heading.

OBAMA'S BROKEN PROMISES

Promise #6: No Tax Increase on Families Making Under 250k
“Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase - not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes,” Obama said in a September 2008 town hall meeting in Dover.  Reality: In his first year in office, he proposed Cap and Trade, which would be a fat tax on everyone. He increased the cigarette tax by 159 percent, and now we have that proposed tax on fancy health care benefits.

Promise #5: Ban Earmarks
"We are going to ban all earmarks,” Obama said at a press conference on January 6, 2009.  Reality: The first spending bill he signed had over 9,000 earmarks.

Promise #4: I Won't Force Americans To Buy Insurance
During the campaign, Obama attacked Hillary Clinton:  “She believes we have to force people who don’t have insurance,” he said in a primary debate in January 2008.  In a Feb. 2008 CNN interview, he added: “If a mandate was the solution, we could try that to solve homelessness by mandating that everybody buy a house.”  Reality: This September, he told Congress: “Under my plan, individuals will be required to carry basic health insurance.

Promise #3: Health care negotiations will be on C-SPAN
Obama promised at least eight times that "we’re going to do all the negotiations on C-SPAN, So the American people will be able to watch.”  Reality: They haven’t been there.  Well, briefly. C-SPAN CEO Brian Lamb said, “The only time we’ve been allowed to cover the White House part of it was one hour inside the East Room, which was kind of just a show horse type of thing.”

Promise #2: Putting bills online
Obama promised “When there’s a bill that ends up on my desk as President, you the public will have five days to look online, and find out what’s in it before I sign it.”  Reality: He broke that promise when he singed his first bill, the Fair Pay Act. He's broken it since, for instance on the Credit Card Bill of Rights and an expansion of the State Children's Health Insurance Program.

Promise #1: Cutting spending
On the campaign trail, Obama promised to cut spending several times. In the second presidential debate, he said that “actually, I am cutting more than I’m spending. So it will be a net spending cut.”  In the third debate, he reiterated: “what I've done throughout this campaign is to propose a net spending cut.”  Reality: Here’s a graph:
