THE BIG QUESTION, Jan. 6 — Grover Norquist
The Big Question for Tuesday, Jan. 6:
Obama’s tax cuts–how centrist is the president-elect?
See all responses here.
Grover Norquist, president, Americans for Tax Reform said:
Centrist?
Obama wants to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on pork-barrel projects. Much more than Clinton tried to do. And much of his tax cut consists of sending checks to people.
If the federal government is writing a check to someone, that’s not a tax cut, that’s spending.
And the president-elect claims his spending will create 3 million jobs–20 percent or 600,000 of them will be government workers. That’s like adding another post office on the backs of taxpayers.
This is the most left-wing big-spending president in American history, and he’s not even in office yet.
