Afghanistan: A Sickening Update

Reports ( here and here ) are now coming in that President Obama will announce on December 1st that he will authorize additional troops to be sent to Afghanistan, his 'war of necessity.' The Times reports the number to be 25,000 while likewise stating that between 32,000 and 35,000 are being considered, which is less than the 40,000 that General McChrystal has requested. This all sounds eerily familiar...

Carl Levin Says New Income Tax May Be Needed for Afghan War Cost

That smug bastard! Why is the Afghan war the cause for new taxes? What about the stimulus plan that wasn't, what about the tons of pork contained in every bill coming out of Congress, what about the 'Cash for Clunkers', what about TARP? And I suppose health care and cap and trade won't be the cause for even more new taxes. You hypocritical, disingenuous a__hole! Bloomberg : Nov. 20 (Bloomberg) --...

Sen. Carl Levin is The Real Deal

The Republican Party is staking its future on people like Sarah Palin for commonsense solutions to our nation's problems. Meanwhile, Democrats don't have to look any further than Sen. Carl Levin. This is his commonsense approach to paying for the war in Afghanistan. Higher-income Americans should be taxed to pay for more troops sent to Afghanistan and NATO should provide half of the new soldiers, said...

Carl Levin Calls Calls For Tax on Upper-Income Earners to Pay for War

Senator Carl Levin of Michigan has suggested a tax on upper-income earners to pay for more troops for the war in Afghanistan. I suspect he did not note how the Democrats lost many independent voters in this year’s elections. Certainly there are many reasons why the elections are not predictive of future results, but taking [...]
