Oberstar addresses economic stimulus for Minnesota

[GretchenDawntreader]

I have a dream...and in that dream someone has the balls to tell the truth to America:

"We are broke and we have to raise taxes."

There is this...thing where you are expected to lower taxes in good times, and in bad times, keep lowering taxes...we are 9 trillion overdrawn. We CAN'T KEEP LOWERING TAXES to keep the populace happy.

Someone with very very large balls needs to step up, and raise everyone's taxes until we are solvent.

We live in a fairyland storybook currently.

"When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know, the end result is tyranny and oppression no matter how holy the motives."

-- Robert A. Heinlein
