Kent Conrad and the Gang of Six: Dishonest Decepriton of the "Big Deal"

What is the purpose of the "big deal'--the "comprehensive deal"? This blog has told you: The purpose is to DECEIVE. The purppose is to make it impossilbe to hold politicians accountable, because every "deal" has so many conflicting elements, and SHAM elements, that the public does not know what is going on. That was true of ObamaCare. It was ture of the "financial refrom bill". It was true of the "immigration reform bil (whch did NOT pass) It is ture of every one of these bills. It is true of EVERY debt ceiling "big deal"--at least every one tghat Ob,a wamts/ No, it is NOT ture of the conservative "cut, cap and balance" bill, because that is NOT a comprehensive "bill" dealing with false "cuts" and real tax incfreases. It is an APPROACH, which Is why I say to Republicans: UNILATERALLY declare that you are adopting the "cut, cap and balance" approach as to spending EVERY YER< and then raise the debt ceiling just enough to put the debt ceiling in sync with spending bills. Don't "promise" yo will shut down the government if yo don't get yor way. Simply say that you are going to FIGHT to save the countgry, using your appoach. Raise the debt ceiling ONLY n one year increments, to correspond with the deadline for spending bills, and make it clear that the debtg ceiling will NEVER by raised until all lspendin gbills have been approved---and then only enough to cover the spending that has been approved. It is the SPENDING that counts here,, and not the debtr ceiling. The purpose of the debt ceiling, as SENATOR OBAMA said, is to let you kow that SPENIDNG is out of control. The point of thiis article, however, is not really that. This blog has told you that the "big deal"--the "comprehensive ten year plan, like the FAILED Soviet Union "Five Year Plans" of old--is merely a cover for DECEPTIOIN. You probably thought that this blog could never be PROVEN right, even if this blog is right. As usual, youi underestimate this blog.


Klent Conrad, the dishonest Democratic Senator from North Dakota, has ADMITTED this blog is right. Oh, he did not directly mentioni this blog, or admit he is a LIAR (along with the rst of the Gang of 7, including the Republicans. But that os tje effet pf wjat je saod/ Lemt Cpmrad wemt pf Fpx Mews am vortia;;u uea;;ed" We are DECEIVING you, and we expect you to LIKE it. We inted to add a corollary to Lincoln's theory, and show that you CAN fool most of the people most of the time, even if you can't fool all of the people, all of the time."


What Kent Conrad said was that the Gang of Six "p;am" (to be filled in later, in the grand tradition of ObamaCare) CUTS 1.5 TRILLION dollars in taxes, according to CBO socring. Wait a second. Did not Tom Coburn, and the rest of the Gan of Six--not to mention tht media--say that their plan would REDUCE the deficit by 3.7 trilliong (or whatever other arbitrary, sham number you want to put in--including 1 TRILLION dollars in increased revenue (increased taxes)? Yep. The Gang of Six are such LIARS--in a plan intended to DECEIVE--that they are willing to say one thing to support one argument, and the exact OPOSITE thing to support a contradictory argument. What is ging on here, besides proving that Kent Conrad and the Gang of Six are LIARS, and their plan inttneded to DECEIVE (as I told you was true, and they have now admitted)?


Remember the Bush "tax cuts", which represent the PRESENT TAX LAW--in effect for almost a decde now? Well, those tax cuts are still scheduled to EXPRIE, in that previous, disgraceful "big deal" (Republican BETRAYAL) at the end of 2010. One of the goals of Obama is to AVOID the fight oove the TAX INCREASE that would be reprsented by the expiration of those Bush tax cuts. We KNOW that the TAX INCREASE represented by eliminating the Bush "tax cuts" would supposedly ADD 4 trillion dollars to government revenue (another lie, but the subject of another article)--3.3 TRILLION of that to come from the middle class (or thereabouts). What Kent Conrad was saying--deceitful as he and the Gang of Six are--is that the CBO is ASSUMING that the Bush tax cuts are going to expire (present law). Therefore, what Kent Conrad is saing is that the CBO will "score" (yet anoterh reason to ignore the CBO as being GAMED--the Bng of Six bill by determining whether the Gang of Six bill will result in a smaller tax increase than the expiration of the Bush tax cuts. Republicans, of course, suppposedly OPPOSE the expiration of the Bush tax cuts for what it is: a TAX INCREAS. But I guess Gang of Six Republicans are willing to LIE about that too, or let Kent Conrad LIE for them!!! What is more, OBAMA opposes the expiration of the Bush tax cuts FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS (3.3 TRILLION of that FALSE CBO "scoring" about lwhich Kent Conrad is willing to DECEIVE you!!!


I am giving it to you straight. But it does not even matter if you understand me. Understand this. To come up with their "deficit reduction" number, the Gang of Six is saying tthat they are goiing to ADD REVENUES. To"defend' their indefeinsible, deceptive "ten year plan", Kent Conrad is willing to say that the Gang of Six is REDUCING revenues (adding to the defict) by 1.5 trillion dollars. Both things cannnot be true, and they are not ture. The whole idea here is to CONFUSE and DECEIVE, and that ha ALWAYS been the purpose of this tactic invented by the SOVIET UNIONI: Make up goals, in a five-year plan, that you KNOW your system cannot meet. When your plan is not successful, as you kewn it would not be, sijply say that is because the plan was not properly implemente (usually because of ati-Soviet elements undermining the plan). That is all President Obama, Democrats, and estalbishment Republicans are doing with these massive "ten year plans" (ven more ridiculous than "five year plans", which is probably why Vladimir Putin lectured us for EXCEEDING the mistgakes of the old Soviet Union).


Let me be, again, as blunt as I can. Kent Conrad, who should obviously be defeated, has admitted that he is all about DECEPTION. In effect, he has admitted what is obvious (to me, if not to you): ALL of these "comprehensive" "big deals' are all about DECEPTION. They are inteded to dECEIVE and CONFUSE the public about what is oing on. That is why the proposals of this blog have been aimed at making this deception impossible, by concentrating on the REAL. The "real" now is SPENDING, and yet th ewhole goal of all of these "plans' is to AVOID actually cutting spending NOW. Spending ALWAYS gets "cut" in the far future, where none of these politicians--especially Obama and the Democrats--expect it to really happen. And if it DOES happpen, because our country finally collapses from the wwight of their spending, they think they will be LONG GONE. What do they care? Their careeer is NOW. The spending they WANT is NOW. They don't care about the future, except to DECEIVE you by references to a future they never intend to take place. Yes, Tom Coburn, I mean YOU. I consider you one of the most dishonest politicians I have ever encountered. My problem is that I don't think you are much more dishoenst than almost every other Republican Senator elected before 2010.


Q.E.D. These "ten eyar plans" are all about DECEPTION. They are ot about making "hard choices". They are about AVOIDING "hard choices'.


Bottom lien: The Republican Party is still in grave, immediate danger of committing suicide. Obama and the Democrats WANT this deception. And their core voters do not care, because they know that the deception is in aid of Big Government. But Republican corfe voters--of whom I do not count msyelf one, as they have already lost me as a core voter and are about to lose me FOREVER--do NOT want this deception, or the results of this deceiiption. Every time Republicans BETRAY these core voters, they get closer to destroying the Repubican Party. I think they have used up all of their chances.


By the way, Tom Coburn and you other Republican TRAITORS, removing the "mortgage deduction" for the "rich" is a TAX RATE INCREASE (ot a "not a "loophole" closing. Further, it would DESTROY the housing industry. All of thee "special" rules for the "rich" are COMPLICATIONS to the tax code INCREASING the marginal rate, and they are terrible tax policy And no, you House Republicans are NOT going to get away with the usual tactic of blaiming this looming betrayal on the Senate. If you don't stop this, this time. I will blame YOU for the dishonest hypocrites wyou will have exposed yourseleves to be. I know the game. The game is to have JUST ENOUGH votes to let the DECEPTION happpen, so that those who voted "no" can say they "opposed" what happened. GOOD LUCK, House Republicans. I am NOT buyiing it, this time, and I think you will find an incrasing number of people are not.
