Antsy being out of the spotlight for very long, every now and then Senator Tom Carper feels the need to yell down from his ivory tower and let everyone know that he still sucks. His latest reminder is in the form of signing onto a letter letting everyone know that he backs the Republican plan to give millionaires more tax cuts while demonstrating fiscally prudence by defunding Social Security.
From Daily kos:
Instead of speaking with one extremely loud, united voice on the insanity of giving these tax breaks to millionaires on the backs of America’s middle class and senior citizens, we get this.
A group of 14 Democrats pressed for a congressional action to address the deficit despite a failure by President Obama’s fiscal commission to achieve enough votes to send its austerity plan to Congress for a vote….
The 14 senators hailed the commission’s recommendations on Social Security, healthcare, and tax reforms — three cornerstones of the plan on which support for a plan could hinge….
The signatories were Sens. Mark Warner (D-Va.), Evan Bayh (D-Ind.), Mark Begich (D-Alaska), Michael Bennet (D-Colo,), Tom Carper (D-Del.), Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Kay Hagan (D-N.C.), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Mary Landrieu (D-La.), Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), Jon Tester (D-Mont.) and Mark Udall (D-Colo.).
You lazy ass seniors are on notice. Tom Carper is coming for you. You millionaires can relax.
