Congressman Charlie Wilson chooses to put you further into debt

Well, we've got an answer to our previous post question.

Here's his statement explaining putting you and your children deeper into debt, my comments in red:

"Dear Friends,

Yesterday I voted in favor of a budget that serves as a long term economic plan that will get our economy working again and put the country on a path toward renewed prosperity. (How, exactly, is borrowing more and more money going to do this?) The bill passed the House 233-196.

It's going to take time and tough choices to turn our economy around. (every time you vote to borrow more money, the more time it will take to "turn our economy around") The budget the House passed today puts us on the path to recovery by investing in the priorities like healthcare, energy and education. These are areas that will spur economic growth and lead to long tem sustainable prosperity. (right)

The House-passed long term budget blueprint will cut the deficit nearly two-thirds by 2013. ( a wild eyed guess in any one's book, please explain how borrowing more money now helps our debt? Typical Orwellian doublespeak. Sounds like a gambler trying to get his losings back. After you voted to increase the deficit to it's all time high, then claim you can cut it later....even then it'll be higher than it ever has been in history) It cuts taxes for middle class families by $1.5 trillion. It will create jobs and grow our economy with targeted investments and reforms in healthcare, energy and education while reducing non-defense discretionary spending to its lowest level in nearly half a century. This long term economic plan ushers in a new era of honesty in budgeting (you've got to be kidding) by fully accounting for known expenses like the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that previous administrations left out in order to make the deficit look smaller. To bring change and restore integrity to Washington, this budget puts an unprecedented effort into rooting out waste, fraud and abuse in government spending. (we could help with the waste bit of this by getting you out of Washington)

The Republican budget would have cut healthcare for the neediest, (not true) privatized Medicare, (and this is a bad thing?, even though the statement itself is not true) and offered our wealthiest citizens another tax cut. (again, not true. It would have extended the tax cuts from 2001 and 2003. Real tax cuts for everyone that paid taxes) We've tried those failed policies for the last eight years and here we are today in the worst economic crisis we've seen since the Great Depression. (thanks to democrats and their protection of Fannie and Freddie Mae from any oversight, the democrats caused this mess...now they want to "fix" it)

President Obama inherited a record Republican deficit from the Bush Administration, which began with a $5.6 trillion surplus. The national debt is now double what it was when Bush first took office, wages are flat and unemployment is skyrocketing. (View this link for an explanation on what Charlie is trying to confuse you about, he's in this deficit spending up to his neck and blaming Bush for making Congressman Charlie Wilson vote to put our kids into debt does not wash. One thing that is clear, Charlie Wilson is a 100% socialist. He is no conservative as he claims when he's campaigning.)

I believe the House-passed economic plan takes the necessary steps to dig our economy out of the hole the Bush Administration dug, drastically cut the deficit, and stimulate growth that helps all of us.

(blaming Bush when the deficit has increased in the last 3 months more than it did during Bush's 8 years doesn't make sense)

(claiming he's voting to "drastically cut the deficit" when he's in fact voting to drastically increase the deficit....does he really think we are this stupid???)

Sincerely,

Charlie Wilson
Member of Congress (hopefully, not for long)
Ohio's Sixth District"
