Congress grills Timothy Geithner, including of all people Charles Schumer who is just as responsible for this economic disaster.

I hate Obama and his lack of change. Obama promised to end the war and not raise taxes. Now, he is going to send AT LEAST 34k more troops and now we are talking about a War Tax!!!! WTF!?!?!?! Wake up and burn your flags folks, your government has sold your country to banks and corporations while you were sleeping! He is a piece shit, just like Bush. It’s time to retract that Nobel Peace Prize. What a joke!

And yes, I know John Murtha is only proposing this so we take a harder look at the war situation – which is smart. I just can’t believe we are even considering more troops under the promise of change and how FUCKING broke we are.

(Nov. 24) — With President Barack Obama expected to announce his plan for Afghanistan on Dec. 1, the debate about how to pay for the war is heating up. The U.S. commander in Afghanistan, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, wants 40,000 more troops. Obama’s plan would send 34,000 during the next year, U.S. officials told McClatchy Newspapers. House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey opposes any increase in the 68,000-member U.S. force in Afghanistan. But now that a surge appears inevitable, he and some other top

Democrats are demanding a new tax to cover the expense of the war. Various estimates put the annual cost at $500,000 to $1 million per soldier. “If we don’t pay for it, the cost of the Afghan war will wipe out every initiative we have to rebuild our own economy,” the Wisconsin Democrat told ABC News. Obey, who came into office in 1969, said that’s what happened during the Vietnam War. If the war is to be fought, “it’s only fair that everyone share the burden,” said a joint statement from Obey, House Democratic Caucus Chairman John Larson and Defense Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman John Murtha.

Their proposal would impose a 1 percent levy on middle-class taxpayers. Those earning more would be taxed at a higher rate, depending on how much is needed for the war. Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin has also talked about a war tax, but only for the wealthy.
