Raising Taxes on Future Generations

Thanks to the irresponsible policies advanced by President George W. Bush and his Republican allies in Congress, these self-righteous GOP politicans -- who claim that they would never raise taxes -- were forced to vote this week on a tax increase on our children and future generations of Americans.

That's the practical effect of an increase in the national debt, now allowed by an increase in the national debt ceiling.

But hey, the Republicans don't care about future generations -- fulfilling their irresponsible ideological credo on this issue is a far more important priority.

Look at the bright side, this increase in the national debt ceiling soon will allow the Republicans to pass another irresponsible tax cut...
