I doubt that Pelosi unfortunately will raise everyone's taxes and will instead go for votes. I doubt that they will stop spending money excessively as Patty Murray pointed out.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The pace of consumer spending stalled in June, and personal incomes failed to increase, further evidence that the economy slowed significantly in the spring. idiot odumba destroys USA The Commerce Department said Tuesday that personal spending was unchanged in June, the third straight month of lackluster consumer demand. Incomes were flat as well, the weakest showing in nine months. The lack of growth for spending and incomes shows the economy ended the second quarter on a weak note. Many analysts believe growth will slow further in the second half of the year as high unemployment, shaky consumer confidence and renewed troubles in housing weigh on the year-old economic recovery.

And there was an unusually close overlap, the committee contended, between appeals for donations and his intervention on legislative matters, citing in particular a meeting Mr. Rangel held in 2007 at a New York hotel with an executive from an oil drilling company at which he made a bid for a donation and also discussed a tax break the company was seeking. The executive, Eugene Isenberg, and his company ended up making a $1 million contribution to the educational center, and Mr. Rangel helped the company secure a tax break worth an estimated $500 million. “Reasonable persons could construe contributions to the Rangel Center by persons with interest before the Ways and Means Committee as influencing the performance of respondent’s government duties,” said the complaint against Mr. Rangel, who was the committee’s chairman. pelosht drains the swamp ???? kennysht mute ???
