Here Comes Santa Claus

Rushing past Halloween, Phony Joanie Edwards pulled more goodies out of his say anything to get elected bag of tricks.

Noting "There are no free meals.", Phony Joanie promised to...

Underwrite universal pre-kindergarten

Create matching savings accounts for low-income people

Mandate a minimum wage of $9.50

Provide a million new Section 8 housing vouchers for the poor

His piece de resistance...

"College for Everyone."

The key ingredient holding the "no free meals" together, malaise left over from Jimmy Carter's Presidency.

That malaise was stale nearly 30 years ago and the scientific community is united in that fact.

To pay for it Phony Joanie says he'll ask many Americans to make sacrifices, like paying higher taxes and rolling back the Bush tax cuts.

Interestingly, in a Washington Times story last month...

A House Democratic aide said proposing new programs that rely on the Bush tax cuts seems like flawed logic because "there's just no way to know what revenues will be."

And...

The director of federal fiscal policy at the nonprofit OMB Watch, cautioned the candidates against talking bigger than they can deliver.

"It's good to have vision and to be talking about priorities, but people should ratchet down their promises about what will actually be enacted," he said, noting that any spending must pass Congress. "The reality is, you're not a king."

Ironically, the Multi-millionaire trial lawyer has said...

"...I will never compromise my principles for the sake of politics".

Here comes santa claus, here comes santa claus,
Riding down santa claus lane.

He's got a bag that's filled with toys
For boys and girls again...

Here comes santa claus, here comes santa claus,
Riding down santa claus lane.

He doesn't care if you're a rich or poor boy,
He loves you just the same.

I guess Joanie Phony isn't Santa Claus, more like The Great Pumpkin.
