You betcha! Via the Prospect, who has a post up on the first ten bills Crackpot Harry and the Hooligans will try to pass. The one you should pay real attention to?
“S.10 — Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2009. Gosh, this one is interesting. It’s one part congressional hand-wringing over the fact that “the Federal budget is on an unsustainable path of rising deficits and debt,” and it calls for a study of this. It’s one part fiscal hawkery, supporting “strong pay-as-you-go rules, to help block the approval of measures that would increase the deficit.” And it’s one part … populist? “A review of the current system of taxation of the United States to ensure that burdens are borne fairly and equitably.” That could be the justification for the Bushtax cut rollback in 2010.”
That’s the increase in tax all those who make more than $42,000 a year will get after 2010. Something around the tune of $3000 more a year on average.
Hope and change, as in YOUR change.
