Even Fellow Washington Democrats Not Supportive Of $1.5 Trillion Tax Hikes As Tim Kaine doubles down on his support for President Obama’s proposed $1.5 trillion in job-killing tax hikes, the former DNC Chairman stands far to the left not only of mainstream Virginians and job-creators, but also a long and growing list of his fellow Washington Democrats. Virginia Sen. Jim Webb (D-VA), called the Obama approach “terrible,” while Sen. Ben Nelson (D-NE) called Obama’s tax-and-spend proposal “not helpful at the moment,” and Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) said “[t]his plan isn’t the one I would have written, nor is it the one that will end up passing Congress,” before confirming through an aide that he opposes the scheme. But instead, Kaine is fully embracing Obama’s $1.5 trillion tax hikes, which job creators say would be “a devastating blow,” “sends a bad message to job creators,” and “is not the way to…
Healthcare Premiums Expected To Skyrocket After Sherrod Brown’s Vote For ObamaCare
Rates Could Jump As High As 85%, 750,000 Expected To Enroll In Medicaid As he helped President Barack Obama ram his $2.5 trillion healthcare bill into law last year, liberal U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) claimed the massive overhaul would lower health care costs for Ohioans. Remember this? Brown: “Too Many Ohioans Are Paying More In Premiums Each Month For Insurance Policies That Cover Less Health Care. This Will End With Today’s Announcement And The Passage Of Health Reform.” (Senator Sherrod Brown, “Sen. Brown Announces More Than $1 Million To Help Crack Down On Unreasonable Health Insurance Premium Hikes In Ohio,” Press Release, 8/16/10) But instead, the Ohio Department of Insurance now reports that Ohioans’ health insurance premiums for individual plans are expected to skyrocket by between 55 and 85 percent in 2014. Additionally, the report predicts that nearly 750,000 Ohioans will become new enrollees in Medicaid – intended for…
Kaine Goes Wobbly As Backlash Grows Against $1.5 Trillion Tax Hikes
Former DNC Chairman Suddenly Hedges After Signaling Support As President Barack Obama continues his swing-state tour to try and sell Americans on his proposal for hundreds of billions of dollars in new reckless government spending and record $1.5 trillion in job-killing tax hikes, a growing public backlash against the scheme has resulted in a long and growing list of Washington Democrats who are reluctant to get on board. The Virginian-Pilot editorialized Sunday that it represents the “same old” tax-and-spend policies Obama and Kaine have been pushing all along, “well-worn measures that Congress has rejected over and over again.” After spending the last several years in Washington as the #1 cheerleader for President Obama’s costly, failed agenda, former DNC Chairman Tim Kaine initially signaled his support for Obama’s new “stimulus” spending and record tax hikes, standing side-by-side with Obama in Richmond as they attempted to sell Virginians on the plan, while…
After Failed Stimulus, Government Health Care & Record Debt, Barack Obama & Ben Nelson Push Largest Tax Hike In U.S. History
In 2009, Senator Ben Nelson was instrumental in President Barack Obama’s $825 billion “stimulus” that failed to create the promised jobs. In 2010, Nelson provided President Obama with the elusive 60th for his $2.5 trillion government health care bill that mandates every American to buy a health care plan. Two weeks ago President Obama proposed yet another $400 billion in new “stimulus” spending. And today, President Obama proposed the largest tax hike in U.S. history –a $1.5 trillion tax increase on investors and small businesses that he says is needed to pay for their reckless spending agenda which has driven the federal debt past $14.6 trillion. As a reminder, Ben Nelson once said that raising taxes during a recession is the wrong direction, but as we are all aware when the President comes knocking for a 60th vote, Nelson always abandons his so-called convictions for Mr. Obama. “According to President…

There are no excuses for inaction, as all components of his plan have had bipartisan support and will not add to the deficit.” (Sen. Brown, Press Release, 9/8/11) And today, President Obama proposed the largest tax hike in U.S. history –a $1.5 trillion tax increase on investors and small businesses that he says is needed to…

In 2009, Senator Debbie Stabenow joined President Obama in passing a $825 billion “stimulus” that failed to create the promised jobs. In 2010, Stabenow joined President Obama in passing a $2.5 trillion government health care bill that mandates every American to buy a health care plan.

After Failed Stimulus, Government Health Care & Record Debt, Obama & Heinrich Push Largest Tax Hike In U.S. History
In 2009, Congressman Martin Heinrich joined President Obama in passing a $825 billion “stimulus” that failed to create the promised jobs. In 2010, Heinrich joined President Obama in passing a $2.5 trillion government health care bill that mandates every American to buy a health care plan. Two weeks ago President Obama proposed yet another $400 billion in new “stimulus” spending and again Heinrich was there supporting the President’s failed economic agenda. MARTIN HEINRICH: “New Mexicans want bold and immediate action to turn our economy around and put people back to work. My constituents can’t afford to wait any longer and I won’t stop working until every New Mexican who wants a job can get one. The President’s intentions are solid and I agree with his urgency for action.” (Martin Heinrich, Heinrich Statement on President Obama’s Joint Session Address, Press Release, 09/08/11) And today, President Obama proposed the largest tax hike…
After Failed Stimulus, Government Health Care & Record Debt, Barack Obama & Bill Nelson Push Largest Tax Hike In U.S. History
In 2009, Senator Bill Nelson joined President Obama in passing a $825 billion “stimulus” that failed to create the promised jobs. In 2010, Nelson joined President Obama in passing a $2.5 trillion government health care bill that cut over $500 billion from Medicare. Two weeks ago President Obama proposed yet another $400 billion in new “stimulus” spending. And today, President Obama proposed the largest tax hike in U.S. history –a $1.5 trillion tax increase on investors and small businesses that he says is needed to pay for their reckless spending agenda which has driven the federal debt past $14.6 trillion. “Under the Obama-Nelson economic record, America has lost 2.4 million jobs, the federal debt has skyrocketed past $14.6 trillion, government spending has grown to record levels, and the response from Obama and Nelson is to pass a record tax increase on the backs of Florida small businesses,” National Republican Senatorial…
After Failed Stimulus, Government Health Care & Record Debt, Obama & Baldwin Push Largest Tax Hike In U.S. History
In 2009, liberal Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) joined President Obama in passing an $825 billion “stimulus” that failed to create the promised jobs. In 2010, Baldwin joined President Obama in passing a $2.5 trillion government health care bill that mandates every American to buy a health care plan. Two weeks ago, President Obama proposed yet another $400 billion in new “stimulus” spending. And today, as Baldwin continues to double down on her support of the failed first stimulus and the rest of his tax-and-spend policies, President Obama proposed the largest tax hike in U.S. history – a $1.5 trillion tax increase on investors and small businesses that he says is needed to pay for their reckless spending agenda, which has already driven the federal debt past $14.6 trillion. Notably – despite the fact that the Democrats’ health care overhaul already raised taxes by $570 billion and the non-partisan Congressional Budget…
After Failed Stimulus, Government Health Care & Record Debt, Obama & Kaine Push Largest Tax Hike In U.S. History
In 2009, DNC Chairman Tim Kaine cheered President Obama in passing an $825 billion “stimulus” that failed to create the promised jobs. In 2010, Kaine backed President Obama in passing a $2.5 trillion government health care bill that mandates every American to buy a health care plan. Less than two weeks ago, Obama and Kaine traveled to Richmond to attempt to sell Virginians on yet another $400 billion in new “stimulus” spending. And today, as Kaine continues to double down on his support of the failed first stimulus and calls for job-killing tax hikes under the guise of a “balanced approach,” President Obama proposed the largest tax hike in U.S. history – a $1.5 trillion tax increase on investors and small businesses that he says is needed to pay for the Democrats’ reckless spending agenda, which has already driven the federal debt past $14.6 trillion.
