Barney Frank: Raise Taxes, Defund the Military !

I kid you not. This is the future of America under the auspices of the far-left wing of the Democratic Party...Barney Frank speaks from the bottom of the barrel:

Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) said Democrats will push for a stimulus package after the November election, and called for a package reducing defense spending by 25 percent while saying Congress will "eventually" raise taxes.

Frank told the editorial board of the SouthCoast Standard-Times that he wanted to reduce defense spending by a quarter, meaning the United States would have to withdraw from Iraq sooner.

"The people of Iraq want us out, and we want to stay over their objection," he said. "It's extraordinary."

Frank also said the post-election stimulus package will focus on spending for building projects, extending unemployment benefits, and further supporting states' healthcare costs. "We'll have to raise taxes ultimately," Frank said. "Not now, but eventually." Frank told the Standard-Times that if Democrats cannot secure the votes they need in November, they will try again in January, when they will likely have stronger majorities in the House and Senate.

He's lying about Iraq, but who's gonna call him on it?

Bush would never sign such a bill, but Barack Obama would, in a heartbeat - it's the bill he has been dreaming about all his adult life...
