Free Spin: Your taxes have already been raised

The one trick elephant, aka the GOP, wants wants to CUT taxes to provide "economic relief" to American families as a "pre-growth" strategy. I'm still waiting for my $300 "relief" check, but I have a feeling that's not going to amount to a whole lot of economic growth...

We went to Bagdhad and blew a trillion dollars we don't have. Meanwhile, the dollar is in a coma and the only way Republicans seem to respond to the economic crisis is to continue to print and spend money.

Doubleplus NotGood.

The fact is, we should consider our taxes already raised. (As if taxes are the worst of our collective problems.)

The threat that Democrats are going to raise taxes is a straw man argument - the money's already been spent! Democrats are going to be the ones left to clean up the financial mess left by a criminally irresponsible and corrupt government.

In my opinion.
