Enough All Ready!

Gary Bauer, Contributing Author:  I've had enough! The level of uncertainty that is hanging over our country right now is unacceptable. ObamaCare remains a huge unknown -- full of tax increases, regulations and mandates -- with the White House issuing waivers left and right to their favorite unions and non-profit groups. The real unemployment rate is stubbornly stuck in the double digits, and American families and entrepreneurs are 30 days away from one of the biggest tax hikes in history.

(And if you thought things were bad now, global elites -- including top administration officials -- are gathering in Cancun, Mexico, scheming to take us back to the "good old days" of World War II rationing!)

What exactly is Obama, in between basketball games, doing about it? Next to nothing! Yesterday's much-hyped White House meeting on taxes was a failure. Nothing was decided. In fact, one commentator said Obama essentially "voted present" at the meeting -- taking himself out of the equation by delegating future talks with Republican leaders to his budget director and Treasury Secretary.

But the GOP isn't the White House's problem. As I reported yesterday, it's the president's own party that can't agree on what to do about the impending tax hikes.

And to avoid dealing with the issue, congressional Democrats are holding votes on food "safety," trying to force open homosexuality into the military, renaming post offices and wasting time on college football. A modified illegal immigration amnesty bill will probably get a vote before anything is done on taxes. This is outrageous!

The "Walking Dead" is a popular TV show right now -- and not suitable for families. Nor is our current "Walking Dead Congress," with its scores of defeated members, suited to be making so many decisions on issues that aren't nearly as important as preventing a major tax hike in a weak economy. Yet those are the priorities of the current Democrat leadership.

In a rare moment of candor, one Democrat senator was caught on an open microphone expressing his frustration with the process. Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO) complained that the lame duck session has been "rigged." I'm betting that millions of Americans share his opinion and would express it in even stronger terms!

Call your elected representatives at (202) 224-3121 and demand that they deal with the impending tax increases before anything else.
