Progressives Not Taking Fiscal Commission Recommendations Well

The left does not want their honey pie taken away. The fiscal commission came back with proposals full of juicy spending cuts and tax reforms. The statists are not happy. Not one bit.

The chairmen of President Obama’s fiscal commission sparked a political firestorm Wednesday with the early release of a report proposing sweeping changes to Social Security, Medicare and the tax code. The plan would reduce the deficit by nearly $4 trillion over the next decade by making dramatic spending cuts and overhauling the tax code by wiping out deductions, such as the popular tax break on mortgage interest.

Labor unions and liberal Democrats lit into the preliminary proposal, which the two chairmen touted as the first serious plan to tackle the country’s growing debt.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said it was “simply unacceptable.”

Most egregious of all is Pelosi's statement particularly given she penned an op-ed piece for USA Today where she said she helped restore the fiscal discipline of Congress. Unbelievable.

The Progressives want to keep spending money and expanding government. The unions are in a huge pile of shit and need the feds to bail them out.All using the tax payers money. They are outraged that this commission would threaten to take away your money. Watch out. These union thugs and politicians are not going to sit idly by and watch their money disappear.
