Of all the Tea Party protest that are going to take place on April 15th but will be ignored by the MSM. Of course this might be so big that the MSM might actually have to cover it. That would be a miracle wouldn’t it?

By the way I’m so going. Its going to be awesome.

GOP Budget Imaginary, Still Sucks

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

The Grand Old Party rolls out it’s own budget for no other reason than to say they did it.

The GOP budget would repeal the entire $787 billion economic stimulus package except for an extension of unemployment insurance benefits. It also would roll back a recently passed 8 percent spending boost in the budget for the remainder of the current fiscal year.

At the same time, the federal share of Medicaid payments would be converted to block grants for the states. Medicare would be transformed for Americans younger than 55 by allowing them to choose from a series of preapproved private insurance plans, with premium payments from the federal government to insurers varying according to an individual’s age, income and health.

Overall the Republican budget calls for $3.6 trillion less in borrowing over the next 10 years.

Even though this budget will never see the light of day, it is still relies on borrowing. Is it impossible to even imagine a budget that doesn’t rely on debt? 

They also want a government giveaway to insurance companies, which in my opinion is even worse than single-payer government insurance.

Come on, GOP, you’ve got a chance to win back some fiscal conservatives. Stop blowing it.
