What part of NO! does he not understand.

Senator Jim Demint summed it up best this week when he said:

Conservative firebrand Sen. Jim DeMint has a message to fellow Republicans in Congress: If you support increasing the debt ceiling without first passing a balanced budget amendment and massive across-the-board spending cuts, you're gone -- destined to be swept out of Congress by a wave of voter anger.

"Based on what I can see around the country," DeMint, R-S.C., said in an interview for the  "not only are those individuals gone, but I would suspect the Republican Party would be set back many years.

"It would be the most toxic vote," DeMint said. "I can tell you if you look at the polls, Democrats, Republicans, Independents, they do not think we should increase the debt limit."

 And here is Tim Geithner attempting to obfuscate with Rep. Ellmers of N.C. on why the Obama administration feels the overwhelming need to increase taxes to address deficit spending in Washington (that the president has quadrupled in 2 years).

“Overwhelmingly, the businesses back home and across the country continue to tell us that regulation, lack of access to capital, taxation, fear of taxation, and just the overwhelming uncertainties that our businesses face is keeping them from hiring,” Ellmers told Geithner. “They just simply cannot.”

She then challenged Geithner on the administration’s tax plan. “Looking into the future, you are supporting the idea of taxation, increasing taxes on those who make $250,000 or more. Those are our business owners,” said Ellmers.

And here was some of Geithner's response to being pinned down by Rep. Ellmers.
  

“No, that's right. I agree with that,” said Geithner. “But just to put it in perspective, it's important to recognize why are we doing this. You know, our deficits are 10 percent of GDP, higher than they've been since any time in the postwar period really. We have a big hole to dig out of, and we have to figure out how to do that in a way that's balanced, good for growth, fair to people as a whole.”

I am sorry Tim, but the math on this is really simple. Even those who do their taxes with "Turbo Tax" should be able to comprehend the simple facts.

First, the deficit has quadrupled under this administration, due to 'quantitative spending" and the Fed's "quantitative easing" hasn't done a damn thing to rescue jobs or the economy. Meanwhile, inflation is stalking this nation like a ravenous wolf and your great plan for recovery? We simply need to tax small businesses more?

Sorry lad, but Rep. Cantor and Sen. Demint have it right. The people sent a message last November to Washington.  Stop the spending, stop the bleeding and get busy rescinding the government and environmental policies of lunacy so that jobs can be created and not continue to be destroyed.

It's really rather simple Tim, the budget has to be cut. Specifically, the social entitlements and wasteful subsidies and the giving money away to other countries by the boat load.

Do that and we can rein in the deficit and achieve a balanced (maybe in my lifetime). Do it not? and this country will be bankrupt and economically collapsed within five years.

America, we have got to get rid of these social Marxist in Washington in this administration and those that permeate all levels of our government. And damn right, to do so will cause hell to be paid. Hundreds of thousands if not millions of governmental bureaucrats would be out of a job and they need to be.

Let them stand in the unemployment lines and feel the pain that the average working class American and small business owner and employee have felt for the past three years now.

Hopefully the republicans in Congress will stand their ground and refuse to raise taxes and refuse to agree to any budget that does not include significant and dramatic budget cuts.

We shall see.
