The Anti-Sam Brownback Blog

“To balance the budget we have to do two things,” Brownback said. “We have to have a growing economy and we have to restrain the growth in spending. The growing economy is stimulated by the proper tax cuts.”

Brownback simply does not get it. The federal government is already massively in debt. We have an immensely expensive (and unpopular) war in Iraq that shows no sign of abating while eating $200 billion a year. Now we have the effects of the horrible tragedy in the Gulf Coast. I would love to know exactly where Senator Brownback is willing to cut the $200 billion needed for Katrina recovery from other parts of the budget. Health care? Farm subsidies?

Or does he care about balancing the budget at all? Senator Brownback never seems to want to deal with problems now. I sure as hell don’t want to have to deal with them 30 years down the road. Tax cuts = more debt. Pure and simple. Who’s gonna pay for it?
