Remember How Democrats Said Not To Raise Taxes In A Recession?

[BoogyMan]

Not sure I have been this angry in a LONG time. We are arguably in a recession and the filth in DC are raising taxes. This was written on August 1, but today the absolute bottom feeding scum did it. They raised taxes in recession.

Amid the Biden administration’s recession, Congress is reportedly planning to increase taxes. Democrats’ “Build Back Better” legislation, which would raise taxes to fund “green energy” subsidies, appears to be getting a second chance.

This legislation, however, contradicts advice even Democrats have repeatedly given: Don’t raise taxes during a recession. Republican Rep. Jason Smith of Missouri put together a list of times prominent Democrats have given the very advice they are now ignoring.

“If we’re in a recession … I don’t think Sen. Obama or anyone else is going to raise any taxes,” Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said going into the 2008 presidential election. “You don’t want to take money out of the economy when the economy is shrinking.”

Later that year, Barack Obama won his first presidential election, and the next year, he expressed agreement with Schumer: “The last thing you want to do is to raise taxes in the middle of a recession,” the then-president said.
Yet this is precisely what Democrats in Congress are now advocating. West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin has reportedlyreached a deal with Schumer during the ongoing recession that would increase many Americans’ taxes.

Even Manchin himself said in 2010 that a recession was not the time for a tax hike. “I don’t think during a time of recession you mess with any of the taxes or increase any taxes,” Manchin said...

Sure they did. With the same, old lie too. "only the wealthy will be taxed". You're not supposed to be smart enough to know that loss will be passed on, straight downhill.

And make no mistake, this isn't money for the United States or its people. This is money for them to spend on their pet BS.

THE ENTIRE DEMOCRAT PARTY HAS NOW SWUNG INTO SOCIALISM AS DIRECTED BY SOROS, CHINA, AND PUTIN.
Why does anyone think Biden, and his CRACKHEAD Hunter invested and get paid so heavily by CHINA?
Meanwhile OBAMA sits back at his Oceanside Castle in Martha's Vineyard, Laughing at JOEY proving how he is so good at F' ing things up...even the Dems won't admit how much they THINK HE'S OFF HIS ROCKING CHAIR...Eatin' Ice Cream before Diaper changes.

Except for when we're in a not-a-recession-recession.

There's that. When inconvenient, redefine the word. Meantime, actual effect is going to be what it is.

It boggles the mind to even attempt contemplating redefining facts and evidence as a means of refusing to acknowledge the elephant in the room.
