What Will 4 More Years of Obama-Loebsack in Washington Look Like?
Obama Confirms in Recent News Report His Top Priorities if Re-Elected: Higher Taxes and a More Aggressive War on American-Made Energy WASHINGTON — Every American family will begin 2013 with new taxes, cuts to healthcare and persistently high unemployment but a recent report sheds light on what President Obama would focus on in the next four years – higher taxes and a continuation of his job-destroying War on American-made energy. Instead of addressing the dire economic issues that are plaguing Iowans with more taxes, more debt and more government power, will Loebsack follow Obama and champion efforts that will continue to ignore families’ financial strains and the weak economy? “If President Obama and David Loebsack were to ask Iowa families what they will remember them for it would be the unstable, job-destroying agenda that has made a bad economy even worse,” said NRCC Communications Director Paul Lindsay. “Shockingly, Obama plans to double down on ignoring the weak economy and focus on failed policies that are keeping the economy stunted. Will Loebsack recognize that Iowans cannot afford to continue to fund the Democrat party’s unsustainable agenda?” Instead of focusing on the dire economic situation that could increase taxes on every American family, President Obama wants to shift his focus towards supporting more destructive taxing and red tape: “Obama has an ambitious second-term agenda, which, at least in broad ways, his campaign is beginning to highlight. The President has said that the most important policy he could address in his second term is climate change, one of the few issues that he thinks could fundamentally improve the world decades from now.” (Ryan Lizza, “The Second Term,” The New Yorker, 6/11/2012) Due to the spending habits and failed economic policies that the Democrat party is unwilling to give up, every American family could be punished: “Fifty-five days later, on New Year’s Eve, the size and the scope of the federal government are scheduled to be radically altered. Federal tax rates for every income group will shoot up to levels not seen since 2001. Payroll taxes for employees will jump by two percentage points. Unemployment benefits for some three million Americans will be cut off. The Pentagon will start the new year with a fifty-five-billion-dollar budget cut. The budget allocated to everything from the F.B.I. to the Park Service to meat inspections will be slashed by the same amount. Soon after, federal payments to doctors who treat patients using Medicare, the federal health program for the elderly, will be slashed by about a third.” (Ryan Lizza, “The Second Term,” The New Yorker, 6/11/2012 ###
