Pelosi has declared that Congress will pass a $300 billion “stimulus” spending bill as soon as two weeks after the election. This coincides with Barack Obama’s assertion that government’s focus should be “spreading the wealth around” and Barney Frank’s unapologetic confirmation that a Democrat-dominated Washington will embark on an aggressive government spending spree fueled by higher taxes. The Democrats’ tax-and-spend economic scheme is not simply a theoretical campaign promise; it’s something they intend to start moving to enact as early as next month.
