Americans can’t afford to trust Democrats

The Democrats aren't telling the truth about how they will spend federal tax dollars. President Barack Obama has produced only faux budgets that don't deal with the nation's problems. Last year the Democrats in the U.S. Senate defeated his budget 97-0 and this year his plan was so pathetic they refused to even vote on it.
Unemployment is at 8-plus percent and
underemployment is 15-plus percent. The federal deficit is out of control because Obama has led increased spending.
The Democrats plan to let the average Americans taxes rise $3,800 in 2013. The price of ObamaCare has doubled since it was passed. Under Obama the price of gas has doubled. Obama has halted energy development on some government lands and retarded it in the Gulf. So, why encourage drilling in Brazil and block the Keystone pipeline?
Obama is a mean-spirited partisan who tried to bully the U.S. Supreme Court. You can't trust Obama or the Democrats. Vote for Mitt Romney to restore American values and prosperity.
