The Democrats want to print and spend about one trillion dollars. They say that they are doing this to "stimulate" the economy. The more discerning among you know that this is crock. This is nothing less than a massive government spending program ... one that will result in much higher taxes down the road.

Did you know that there is $13 trillion dollars out there ready to stimulate our economy? This $13 trillion dollars - 13 times the size of the Democrats spending bill - doesn't have to be printed. It's already out there. It would not add to our national debt. It would not add to the deficit. It would not be inflationary. Putting this $13 trillion dollars into our economy would not result in higher taxes down the road. Simply put ... we just take this $13 trillion that is already out there working in other world economies and bring it home to work for us.

How? The Fair Tax. This $13 trillion belongs to American citizens and businesses and is working overseas - offshore - to get away from America's punishing tax system. Pass the Fair Tax and this $13 trillion starts coming home to work in our own economy. No deficit spending - no tax increases - no creation of new money that leads to inflation - just $13 billion coming home to work here to boost our economy.

Tell me why this is such a bad idea. You can't? Well the Political class can certainly tell you why this is a bad idea. It takes power away from politicians and gives it to ordinary people. The $13 trillion I'm talking about are private funds. When that money comes back home private citizens and private businesses get to decide where it's spent ... not politicians. This is money that can't be used to reward political supporters and special interests. This is money that can't be used to buy votes. Politicians would sit back and watch the private sector drive the economic revival. The private sector would be revitalized and strengthened. Politicians .. especially Democrats ... don't like this.
