U.S. Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., a key contributor to the 2008 financial crisis, perfectly distills the Democrats’ governing philosophy in this video…

“You can reach out to your fellow young people and make it clear to them that where they may not be satisfied with everything we’ve done – we’re not satisfied with everything we’ve done – the way to cure that is to give us more authority and more ability,” said Frank at a Young Democrats event in his state.

Where do we sign up for THAT? Or should we just sign over our paychecks NOW to a federal government that is blithely driving the country over a fiscal cliff, with policy engineers like Frank chuckling at the helm.

The “trajectory of government spending is projected to keep rising beyond 2050, eventually hitting an unfathomable 80% of GDP, according to the Congressional Budget Office,” wrote Michael Tanner in “U.S. Embraces Model That’s Failed Europe.” “Think of that: The government will spend 80 cents out of every dollar earned in this country! There is no way to tax your way out of that.”
