Will The Senate Hide Tax Hikes In A Bill?

Is the Senate planning tax hikes?  There is a scheme brewing between Senate Democrats, the White House and three Republican accomplices.  The three RINO’s turning their backs on America are Tom Coburn (OK), Mike Crapo (ID) and Saxby Chambliss (GA).

The concept is to enact an amendment to the debt-limit extension specifying certain targets for deficit reduction and then mandating automatic spending cuts AND tax increases to take effect if the goals are not met.  This would permit backdoor tax increases on which nobody votes and no fingerprints appear. The taxes just happen automatically,  call it the immaculate conception tax increase.

The plan will vindicate Barack Obama's long-term goal: to expand the size of the government's share of the economy.  When he took office, federal, state and local spending accounted for 35 percent of GDP. Now it equals 44 percent.

Obama's goal has been to lock in a higher level of spending by matching it with higher taxes.  Even the Democrats are smart enough never to vote for tax increases on the general public and, only with some hesitation, to impose them on the wealthy.

But, with an automatic trigger, they and their Republican allies can vote for higher taxes while seeming only to be supporting deficit reduction. When the taxes come as a result of the automatic trigger they enacted, they can blame future Congresses for not agreeing to the spending cuts. They can even rail against the tax increases. It won't matter. The tax hikes will take place automatically.

The game plan is for the debt-limit extension to stall in the House and for the bipartisan group of six Senators to swoop in with their legislation to save the day. It will seem, to all appearances, that they will have mandated deficit reduction as the price for a debt-limit hike. They look like heroes.   But the tax trigger will be part of the package, and we will have stripped Congress of the power to tax and delegated it to an automatic trigger.

It appears the Senate and Obama will stoop to any level to raise taxes and keep high government spending the rule.  They are totally ignoring the will of the people.  These supposed conservative Republicans plan to give Obama and the Democrats the cover they need to raise taxes.
