In a press conference today, the President revealed his true agenda.

He’s been pushing the false concept that the Bush tax rates were behind our country’s economic struggles, when we all know the crisis started with a Democrat-created subprime mortgage crisis…and stretched out due to a wild Democrat spending spree.

So, today he claims that Speaker Boehner has conceded that tax rates should go up on higher income earners, as if that was the problem for the last 4 years…despite the fact that the CBO shows 2008 spending was $2.5 trillion, and we’re facing 2013 spending of $3.5 trillion – an increase of 40% over the 4 years DURING our economic crisis!

Sadly, we know the media will help him push his ‘tax-rates-did-it’ lie.

Speaker Boehner, it’s time to do the right thing.

As noted in the Dec 16 BCP article ‘This Isn’t A Zero-Sum America, Mr. Boehner’, the American electorate gave House Republicans a mandate in November.

Pass legislation that 1) extends the Bush tax rates, or 2) makes them permanent.

Tax rates aren’t the problem – $3.5 trillion in SPENDING is the problem!

Stop playing games with a media-supported lie. Do.Your.Job.
