Riding the deficit train to Porkville

I'll take all the Democrats' faux outrage over our burgeoning deficit seriously when the bozos in Congress start acting like it's actually serious. Harry Reid's $1.1 Trillion Omnibus Spending Monstrosity and Pork Fest is anything but serious. And with all the Christmas Tree spending larded onto the Grand Clinton Obama Tax Cut Compromise it's sure looking a lot like business as usual in Washington, D.C.

Of course we really didn't have any reason to expect differently, did we?

Pat Austin is all over the idiotic Earmarks and other wasteful spending slathered throughout both bills. Pat, as my friend Mike often says, "I'd advise you to start drinking heavily." Trust me, it's your only option.

Then there's the pitiful posturing by House Democrats over the need to raise taxes. Dudes, Bill Clinton's already got that covered — you did see his press conference, right? — the Death Tax goes from zero to 35%. That my friends is an increase.

Yeah, I know you guys want it at 95% to burnish your class-warrior bonafides, but that's just not gonna happen. Remember November? You guys lost.

I'm with Jim DeMint. Nuke both bills from orbit. It's the only way to save us from buying a one way ticket to the Porkville Poor House. Let Dingy Harry keep Congress in session right up through January 5^th if he wants to. Fillibuster everything he says and it won't matter anyway.

Then start over with a GOP House majority and some heavy duty Tea Party spending restraint. Dare Barry to veto a clean extension of current tax rates. Double-dare him to veto spending cuts.

It's time to get serious.
