Anyone else see this? Boner plan would increase deficit by $4 trillion over next ten years.

[Dawgs]

Spread this far and wide.

This means that if Republicans win back the House, then the deficit will increase by $4 trillion.

We might not be able to increase our enthusiasm gap, but we can certainly bring down theirs.

Although, it's really not much of a plan.

1. Fully Extend the Bush Tax Cuts.
2. Have the president veto the Employee Free Choice Act, a carbon tax or cap and trade, and “any other tax increases on families and small businesses” if passed during a lame-duck session of Congress.
3. Health Care Agenda: Repeal the entire Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act/Repeal the provision in healthcare reform mandating that small businesses file IRS 1099 forms on purchases of over $600.
4. Reduce non-defense discretionary spending to 2008 levels.
5. Resignations of the President’s economic team, starting with Secretary of the Treasury Geithner and National Economic Council Director Larry Summers.

3. The attack ads should state how this will affect the average

individual: your share of the Boehner deficit is $13,0000. Please indicate how you would prefer to pay:
a) monthly payments
b) annual tax increase
c) lump sum payment
d) bill your grandchildren for the deficit plus interest
