Senate Voting To Increase Debt Limit By Another $1.8 Trillion

The runaway spending of this Senate is destroying the American economy.  The socialist Democrats accused Bush and the Republicans of runaway spending.  In less than a year the socialist Barack Hussein Obama and Democrats have increased the deficit by more than it had been increased in the last 20+ years combined.

The socialist Democrats overcame a Republican filibuster to clear the way for a vote Sunday on a huge end-of-year $1.1 trillion spending bill that gives budget increases far exceeding inflation to much of the government.  This bill includes an estimated $3.9 billion for more than 5,000 back-home projects sought by individual lawmakers in both parties.  More pork spending at a time when the deficit is out of control; this Senate doesn’t care how badly they hurt America.

The bill increases spending by an average of about 10% to programs under immediate control of Congress.  What is wrong with this Senate?  Increasing budgets 10% with the deficit growing out of control is lunacy. 
This bill gives federal worker pay increases averaging 2%.  A raise for federal employees as millions of Americans are unemployed or losing their jobs.  Most of us who are hard working Americans actually helping the economy didn’t get raises this year because of the economy.

Senator Judd Gregg (R-NH), pushed the creation of a bipartisan deficit reduction task force as a condition for raising the debt ceiling to near $14 trillion. "If we don't do this, we'll be passing on to our kids an insolvent country, which basically means they're going to confront massive inflation or massive tax increases," he said on "Fox News Sunday."

Republicans who fought the bill said it provides too much money at a time when the government is running astronomical deficits. "Obviously we need to run the government, but do you suppose the government could be a little bit like families and be just a little bit prudent in how much it spends?" said Senator Jon Kyl (R-AZ).

America we have a runaway Congress.  The socialist democrats want to destroy our economy to gain more control over all of us.  The 2010 elections are less than a year away.  We have to vote out Representatives and Senators who vote for this socialist destruction of America.
