RNC:Era of Responsibility?‏

Got this e-mail from the RNC

"Dear Friend,
When President Obama was elected, he promised to usher in an era of fiscal responsibility. Even the theme of his inauguration speech was "Era of Responsibility." So how's that promise working out for him?

Well, on Tuesday the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released a report on the budget predicting a $7 trillion deficit by 2019. This is after Obama's Office of Management and Budget (OMB) released its own report predicting a $9 trillion deficit over the same period of time.

The same OMB report shows public debt doubling by 2019 and reaching three-quarters the size of the entire national economy. So with our nation already recording historic levels of debt and facing exploding deficits, what are the Obama Democrats proposing?

If you guessed more spending on bloated federal government programs ... you would be correct.

Obama and his liberal Congressional allies want to saddle taxpayers with even more debt through their government-run health care experiment that will cost trillions of dollars. In addition, they are proposing a radical cap and trade tax that will increase Americans' tax burden by an estimated $150 billion a year. This is on top of the record spending -- nearly $5 trillion -- Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid rammed through the Democrat controlled Congress in the first 100 days.

Friend, there's only one way to stop the tidal wave of Obama's red ink -- electing more conservative Republicans in 2009 and 2010.

That starts today with the continuing support of grassroots leaders like you. Please help by making a secure online contribution of $25, $50, $100, $500 or $1,000 to the RNC.

There is no time to waste. The President has acknowledged, "We are out of money now." Yet the Obama Democrats continue their reckless spending and borrowing putting our great nation on the path to bankruptcy.

Their soak-the-"rich," class-warfare rhetoric is just a slick way to hide the fact that you and millions of other hard-working, middle class families -- as well as your children and grandchildren -- will be footing the bill in the form of higher taxes to bankroll their leftist schemes.

Friend, Republican candidates are counting on the generous support of grassroots activists like you to lead the fight to stop the Obama Democrats' outrageous, wasteful spending that threatens the very future of America.

Your contribution of $25, $50, $100, $500 or $1,000 to the RNC today is vital to preventing the Obama Democrats from further bankrupting America by electing Republicans committed to real fiscal discipline and limited government. Thank you in advance for your support and for helping Republicans usher in a true era of responsibility.
Sincerely,

Michael Steele
Chairman, Republican National Committee

P.S. Friend, Tuesday's CBO and OMB reports on the budget show that the Obama Democrats' reckless spending and borrowing has led America into record levels of debt. So much for Obama's "Era of Responsibility." Please help elect Republicans committed to reining in our debt and reducing the national deficit through common sense, conservative principles by making a secure online contribution of $25, $50, $100, $500 or $1,000 to the RNC today. Thank you."

During the last 8 years they said deficits don't matter and they reported only a portion of actual costs. Now all of the sudden when it comes to trying to save the economy and the lives of Americans they are concerned?

Just FYI. :hi:

where were these hypocrites when Bush turned Clinton's surplus into a one trillion dollar deficit and doubled the national debt in eight years?

they make me laugh. :rofl:

Where was the RNC when the lead village idiot plundered through the nation's wealth all willy nilly?

D'uh.

ETA: Totally UnRec'd.
