Congressional memo to future generations: You're screwed (Joe Scarborough)

Take it from a not-so-old former congressman who knows: Proud young Americans, you are in for a con job from Washington that you can't even imagine.

Your government has already borrowed almost $8 trillion that it can't pay back. Guess who will have to write the check? That's right. You.

Expect massive tax hikes in your future, and wicked cuts in national defense, education, environmental enforcement, police protection and medical care for the poor and elderly.

Oh, you say the poor should pay for their health care just like you? Fine.

Wait till you have to crawl over 3-year-old kids dying on the front steps of the emergency room where you are taking your kids and then you will be asking yourself if it was really wise for this generation of politicians to spend money as responsibly as pot heads in an open-all-night grocery store.

1. GREAT - Forward his article to ANY right-wingers/repubs that you know!!

Not that I'm excited about the subject matter, mind you, but IT'S ABOUT TIME someone in the media wrote something like this.

I hope PAT BUCHANAN will read it too, since he's been filling in for him.

I'm still in shock that Scarborough actually wrote this. And he's sending his readers to PAUL KRUGMAN??

Anyway, thanks for pointing it out!

3. I know what you mean... Let's keep this one KICKED!

Like I said, put it into the hands of anyone you know who voted Republican in the last election. They may not listen to us, but they'll sit up & take notice if Scarborough said it!

4. Some of his older conservative views

about the economy coming to the surface. Most real fiscal conservatives shudder to think what awol is doing the economic future of our country. Unfortunately, on most other political subjects, he's still a bush toadie,\.

5. Yes. But we should still encourage him to speak out more.

Let's all write to thank him for daring to be criticial of Bush's unconscionable economic policies. He'll probably get lots of hate mail from the neocons for breaking with the party line and could use some support.

The fastest way to block the neocon agenda is to encourage moderate Republicans to oppose them, since we know they don't listen to Dems. You don't have to like Scarborough to support him on this issue; it's a matter of pragmatism.
