Despite the dire warnings, you survived the onset of the sequester. But you may not survive President Obama's solution.
Over the weekend, Obama's top economic adviser Gene Sperling revealed the administration's game plan. Sperling predicted Republicans in Congress would soon see the "harm" caused by the sequester. That would, according to Sperling, cause the Republicans to come running back to the table to accept another round of massive tax increases. No tax hike is ever enough for this president or his liberal allies in Congress.
>> Learn how the left is using the sequester as political leverage.
Remember, the sequester did not appear out of nowhere. The President and Congress knew that the sequester was coming. Rather than engaging in presidential fear mongering, lawmakers and the President could have and should have offered a viable alternative to these spending cuts, especially those that hit defense spending the hardest. They had ample time and opportunity to reconfigure the sequester cuts.
True leadership isn't delaying and demagoguing, and it isn't increasing taxes. We are committed to cutting spending and cutting taxes. Together, we'll beat back Obama's tax and spend strategy.
Sincerely,
Michael A. Needham
