The Senate Budget: A $2,641 Per Household Tax Increase and No Entitlement Reforms

by admin on March 29, 2009


The Senate Democrats, writing their first budget resolution since winning control in Congress last fall, have produced a budget blueprint that:

* Raises taxes by $900 billion over five years and a projected $3.3 trillion over ten years;

* Translates into a tax increase of $2,641 per household annually over the next decade;

* Includes 22 reserve funds that could be used to raise taxes by hundreds of billions more;

* Increases discretionary spending by nearly 9 percent in FY 2008 and does not terminate a single program;

* Completely ignores the impending tsunami of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid costs;
