A Fistful of Bad Ideas

Obama may propose a 'discretionary spending freeze.'

And he's got another huckstering card up his sleeve, too.

The senator [Bayh] also said he expects Obama to use the Jan. 27 nationally televised address before Congress to embrace creation of a commission that would suggest spending cuts and tax increases that Congress would be forced to vote on.

That will result--guaranteed--in a major tax increase. You remember the 'spending cuts' effected by the Grace Commission?

I didn't think so.
