<\/center>According to this article<\/a>, self-proclaimed “budget hawk” Gaylord Kent Conrad, on-paper resident of North Dakota, wants to bridge the gap between his spending and government revenue from the taxpayers by…yes, another tax!<\/p>\nChairman Kent Conrad, D-ND, raised the point during a hearing Wednesday, Feb. 24, on the subject of President Obama\u2019s recent budget request for 2010-11. Conrad highlighted some of the options.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd these include increasing the gas (fuel) tax; charging for each mile traveled; adding more tolls; continuing general fund transfers, which I strongly oppose; and identifying other funding sources,\u201d Conrad said.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow let\u2019s be frank, none of these are popular options. But we have to find a way to close this funding gap. We are going to have to start making tough choices.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
First off, it would be hilarious how Kent Conrad keeps claiming to be a “budget hawk” if it wasn’t so sad, and the consequences for our nation so dire. But the way he wants to bring those budgets into line is never<\/b><\/i> by cutting government spending! It’s always about bleeding the taxpayer a little bit more.<\/p>\n
Imagine what that’s going to do to rural North Dakotans that have long drives to get into town, or the farm families Kent Conrad claims to represent when he leaves his million dollar beach house, bought at a cushy rate from Countrywide Financial<\/a>, to fly back to North Dakota for a bit and pretend he’s representing North Dakotans for a while. How about poor people who can’t afford newer, more fuel efficient cars? It seems that the people these Democrats claim to stand for are always the ones who take the biggest pounding as a result of Democrat policies!<\/p>\n
Uh oh…you mean that beach house in Delaware didn’t show up on his required financial disclosure reports?<\/a> Say it ain’t so, Gaylord!<\/a> Hm…it seems that he has stricken his real first name from even his Wikipedia entry. It’s the “G” in GKC, the name of the corporation he set up and to which, for the sum of one dollar<\/a>, sold the apartments he uses to claim North Dakota residency on paper<\/a> for himself and Senator Byron Dorgan so they can run for re-election.<\/p>\n
We can’t get this tax-hungry crook out of office fast enough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
