Sixty Six who resisted “Sugar-coated Satan Sandwich” Debt Deal (Part 39)
This post today is a part of a series I am doing on the 66 Republican Tea Party favorites that resisted eating the “Sugar-coated Satan Sandwich” Debt Deal. Actually that name did not originate from a representative who agrees with the Tea Party, but from a liberal.
Rep. Emanuel Clever (D-Mo.) called the newly agreed-upon bipartisan compromise deal to raise the debt limit “a sugar-coated satan sandwich.”
“This deal is a sugar-coated satan sandwich. If you lift the bun, you will not like what you see,” Clever tweeted on August 1, 2011.
Michele Bachmann, Washington, Jul 29 –
Washington needs fundamental changes to the way it spends taxpayer dollars. Never has this kind of change been more urgent than now, when the federal government is running a deficit of $14.3 trillion. Right now, every household in America bears a burden of $130,000, and every individual owes $46,600.
Even with these incredible numbers, President Obama is still calling for an increase in the debt limit, which equates to more borrowing from our future generations.
Because I know that government spending is no different from spending by individuals, families, or businesses, I remained firmly opposed to raising the debt limit. No entity can borrow indefinitely, spending money it doesn’t have, without paying it back.
President Obama has also proposed raising taxes as a way around our debt crisis. But it is important to remember that tax hikes will only hurt America’s small businesses and stifle job creation. This is at a time when unemployment across the nation stands at an unacceptable 9.2 percent. More taxes give Washington more time to delay reform of its scores of wasteful programs and agencies.
It is an outrage that hardworking and responsible Americans are being shackled with the debts from bloated spending by our federal government. It is time for Washington to break the habit and get its fiscal house in order.

I guess you don’t have much options but to work and support your family as much as you can whatever the outcome, but it will become harder and harder for many because the prices go up and at the same time hardworking people receive the same amount of money. The worst thing is that people will pay for the debt through the lower quality of life which would be something like paying for the hidden credit you never got in the first place. And I agree that taxes shouldn’t be raised, any more taxation just strangles the economy that the government lives on.
