As the “fiscal” cliff looms, there is another, perhaps more disastrous cliff of which congressional conservatives should be vary.

In Obama’s “plan” presented last week by tax cheat Timmy Geithner, are some just crazy ideas.

Obama, who ran on raising taxes by $800 billion dollars is NOW demanding $1.6 TRILLION in tax hikes.

If soaking the so-called rich, those who make $250,000.00 or more, many of them small business owners, was going to cause higher unemployment and a stalled economy, what then will soaking them for twice that amount do?

Faced with that sort of government theft, small business owners will NOT expand, will NOT invest, will NOT hire and WILL lay off employees to offset their losses.

In many, MANY cases, small businesses will ALSO raise their prices to consumers thus causing their customers to cut back on THEIR spending.

Combine the two and unemployment rises while the GDP falls.

Basically, the Obama “plan” calls for massive tax hikes and then leaves the spending cuts…dangling.

Obama says, give me the tax hikes NOW and we’ll talk about spending cuts…later…maybe.

Also included in his “plan” is another $50 billion dollar STIMULUS.

Why? Are there more green energy companies that have yet to go bankrupt?

Obama is acting like he has a mandate from 99% of the people to hike taxes in the 1% but, that simply is NOT true. He was “reelected” by a smaller margin than in his 2008 original election and, nearly half the people voted to send him packing.

In fact, the whole “tax the rich” and blow off the spending cuts “plan” only has the support of 11% of the people according to recent polls.

Gallop places the number of people who want “major cuts” to government SPENDING at 92% although, in Obama’s plan, we’ll discuss spending cuts sometime down the road…maybe.

NOT included in Obama’s goofy “plan” are any measures to stabilize Medicare or Social Security.

NONE.

NADA.

Zip, zilch zero.

Oddly, according to Gallop polls, 88% of the people WANT Obama to do something to save Medicare and Social Security.

It seems to me that 88% IS a mandate…92% IS a mandate but…11% is NOT.

So, let’s recap…

Obama’s “plan” to avert going off the “fiscal” cliff is a massive tax soaking of the “rich” who own small businesses, more stimulus spending because all the stimulus spending he did before failed, NO spending cuts and NO reform of Medicare or Social Security.

But wait…

There’s MORE!!!

As I said at the beginning of this Weekend Edition, there is a cliff MORE disastrous than the “fiscal” cliff.

Pay close attention as this is DIRE!!!

Obama, in his “plan” calls for a PERMANENT measure that would give HIM the ability to RAISE THE DEBT CEILING WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF CONGRESS!!!

My friends…

THIS IS THE CONSTITUTIONAL CLIFF and Obama is still on the campaign trail yelling…

FORWARD!!!!!

The Constitution in clear on this…CRYSTAL clear.

ALL spending and revenue is to be controlled by the HOUSE. ALL tax bills must originate in the House. ALL appropriations…SPENDING…of the taxpayers money is to be done through CONGRESS.

What Obama wants is a blank, signed check. HE wants to raise the debt ceiling WHENEVER and by WHATEVER amount HE wants.

By Obama’s plan…CONGRESS WOULD BE UNNECESSARY.

Yes, I know that the approval ratings FOR congress are at all-time lows and they aren’t doing their jobs the way they should BUT…

THEY ARE THE ONLY ENTITY STANDING IN THE WAY OF DICTATORIAL RULE and Obama wants to have the DICTATORIAL POWER presented to him BY congress to IGNORE congress.

Obama knows full well that should HE grant HIMSELF such power, as Morsi just did in Egypt…the Washington DC version of Tahrir Square would break out and HE doesn’t want THAT so…instead…HE wants CONGRESS to grant to him the powers of a DICTATOR so there will be NO QUESTION that such powers ARE legal.

While Obama and his socialist lemmings are convinced that congressional conservatives will be held accountable should we all go over the “FISCAL” cliff I say…let’s take the plunge!!!

Obama has put forth HIS absurd “plan so, now the ball is in OUR court. Right?

Okay…

Paul Ryan should now put forth a REAL plan which closes loopholes to raise the amount of revenue upon which the Emperor campaigned AND include IN the conservative plan SPENDING cuts that will MORE than equal those added revenues, reform measures for Medicare AND Social Security…NO NEW STIMULUS spending one which WILL maintain the Bush era rates on EVERYBODY!!!

Cut the corporate tax rate, leave the small businesses OUT of the mix and ENCOURAGE business and economic GROWTH.

The conservative plan should also MAINTAIN CURRENT military levels NOT increase them OR decrease them!!!

And, in NO WAY grant this or ANY future president ANY power to raise the debt ceiling WITHOUT the consent of CONGRESS!!!!!

IF the Emperor, as he claims he will, VETOES such a plan or, IF it doesn’t get to the senate floor for a vote under Harry Reid’s history of SHELVING of such plans…

Whose fault will it be?

Conservatives need to show the balls to say, “This is a REALISTIC plan, a COMMON SENSE plan and a RESPONSIBLE plan. THIS plan PRESERVES the CONSTITUTION. THIS plan ENCOURAGES economic GROWTH rather than the GROWTH of GOVERNMENT.

THIS plan CUTS government spending. THIS plan RAISES revenue WITHOUT jacking up ANYONE’S tax rates and CLOSES loopholes which have allowed the 1% to pay LESS and thus, matches Obama’s “fair share” gnashing of teeth.

Above all else…Conservatives in congress MUST make it CLEAR that should this plan be IGNORED by Harry Reid or VETOED by Obama…

IT’S ON THEM…NOT US!!!

IF WE GO OVER THE “FISCAL” CLIFF…PLUNGE INTO ANOTHER DEEP RECESSION, LOSE MORE OF OUR CREDIT RATING…

IT’S BECAUSE OBAMA AND HIS CRONIES REFUSED TO ACCEPT A PLAN THAT DID NOT GIVE HIM DICTATORIAL POWERS AND A BLANK CHECK!!!

Conservatives then should spend the next 4 years drilling it into the heads of ALL Americans that THEIR plan would NOT have raised ANYBODY’S tax rates and the ONLY reason EVERYBODY’S tax rates went UP is because OBAMA refused it.

If we go into another deep recession it will be because OBAMA refused the plan that would have averted it.

If we lose MORE of our credit rating it will be because OBAMA refused the plan that would have averted it.

The bottom line on this whole “fiscal” cliff is this:

Obama’s plan to avert going OVER the “fiscal” cliff is building a bridge to SOCIALISM using the taxpayers money and hiring UNION workers for the bridge construction.

Going OVER the “fiscal” cliff will only HASTEN the PROOF of the Iron Lady’s statement:

“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money. ”

When Medicare crashes and Social Security burns, when unemployment rises and economic growth goes into free fall, when entitlements, like union pensions, are no longer sustainable and the government, like the baker’s union goes bankrupt and is forced to close their doors…

Then, maybe THEN, people will wake up.

If going over the “fiscal” cliff prevents us from jumping off the Constitutional cliff, it’s a hardship but worth it in my opinion and if it all leads to a shut-down of government…so what?

A government doing nothing is far better than a government doing the wrong thing.
