'The Largest Tax Hike in American History'
A Republican Caucus has put the recent Ellsworth-endorsed House budget into perspective:
The Democrat budget reported Wednesday proposes the largest tax increase in U.S. history – $392.5 billion over 5 years – mainly to finance immense new spending through 2012.Moreover, "Ten of the budget's 12 'reserve funds' call for more than $115 billion in higher spending if offset with commensurate savings or - as is far more likely - higher taxes." To date, neither Mr. Ellsworth nor the Courier & Press have mentioned this massive tax increase, or the nearly $20 billion in pork spending. When will Mr. Ellsworth address this, and when will the media deem "the largest tax hike in history" a newsworthy story?

Thank you so much for creating this site!
If the Courier won't point out these votes/inaccuracies, I'm glad someone will!
It is unbelievable the "pass" that Ellsworth has gotten from all the Evansville media....
I think it's ridiculous that Ellsworth ever called himself a "Blue Dog Democrat". He's the same color as all the rest.
Any doubt now that the press is liberal???
"He's the same color as all the rest."
Aye, yellow.
Actually, adjusted for inflation, Reagan's 1984 tax increase was far larger. - Harvey
