Hear Harkin

CommieTommie Harkin told some fellow Iowans it's too early to cut spending, given that the economy is still fragile, but "that time is coming".

With the U.S. on track for another $1 trillion-plus deficit, I think we've long passed that time and the scientific community is united in that fact.

CommieTommie continued...

"Republicans will have to vote for new revenues, and Democrats will have to vote for major cuts in spending, and those who will not do so, well, they're just not serious about addressing deficit spending".

Just a thought, but how about taking a scalpel or an axe, depending on what is needed to the budget -- NOW!

Many private economists are forecasting that the deficit for this year will come in around $1.3 trillion, which would still be the second-highest deficit in history. It would be down only slightly from last year's all-time high of $1.4 trillion.

My mistake, Dummycrats are serious about addressing deficit spending.

In other developments, CommieTommie blew a gasket over the Gulf oil spill...

“And let’s stop calling this a spill. A spill is something that happens to milk.”

Let's call it a Harkin (i.e. a major eff up).

CommieTommie then calls out BP, "...the worst actors in the oil industry”.

CommieTommie could stand to benefit financially if the third largest energy company goes down the tubes, as his wife (Ruth) is on the Board of Directors of the fifth largest energy corporation.
