House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) demonstrated yet again that he resides in some bizarre alternate universe were morons reign supreme when he made the idiotic claim that Republicans are asking the middle class to pay the price for the fiscal irresponsibility of the Bush Administration, where much was spent and little was paid for, Tuesday, on Capitol Hill. For him to actually make such an insane statement, and expect anyone but one of his fellow Democrats to believe it, is laughable. Fiscal irresponsibility of the Bush administration? Really? That's pretty amazing since it's the last three years, when put altogether, that pretty much provide the perfect definition of what constitutes fiscal irresponsibility. Let's get real here, does this moron really expect anyone to seriously believe that all of the spending that has been taking place and the huge amount of debt that has been incurred in just 3 years is actually a demonstration of fiscal responsibility?
Whining as only he can do, Hoyer said, "Republicans are suggesting an increase of additional tax that would be perceived correctly as a 5 percent cut in pay of federal employees," when speaking on House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan’s (R-Wis.) plan, of which he called "Tea Party inspired." He went on to say, "Although they don’t want to tax millionaires, they want to cut the take home pay of federal employees by decreasing by 5 percent their contributions to the federal employee retirement system and the civil servant retirement system." Adding, "So they continue to go down a path of asking middle income and lower income people to pay the price for the fiscal irresponsibility that was pursued in the last decade under the Bush Administration where much was spent and little was paid for. They continue to ask middle class working people to pay that bill." Steny's comments came during his weekly pen-and-pad briefing with reporters.
As has been previously reported by numerous sources, in less than four years since Barry "Almighty" took office, the debt of the federal government has increased by more than $5 trillion, $5,027,761,476,484.56 to be exact. Under two full terms of President George W. Bush, that would be 8 years, the federal debt increased by $4.8 trillion or $4,899,100,310,608.44 to be exact. Now while I make no attempt to excuse Bush, it is a fact that the $5 trillion additional debt added during Barry's 39 month reign is more than the federal government accumulated in the first 219 years of our Republic's existence. Barry "Almighty" has also presided over four straight years of trillion dollar deficits. I think it pretty safe to say that old Steny possess a rather strange idea of what defines fisal responsibility, I mean if most households followed this example how long would it be before someone came knocking on the door? This is all nothing but more hot air from Hoyer.
