Chairman Zero's Budget BS
Posted by Gregory of Yardale at February 1, 2010 11:15 AM
In unveiling his record budget, with its record deficit, Chairman Zero read the following words off his Teleprompter:
"We simply cannot continue to spend as if deficits don't have consequences, as if waste doesn't matter, as if the hard-earned tax dollars of the American people can be treated like Monopoly money, as if we can ignore this challenge for another generation," - B. Hussein Obama, February 1, 2010
Oh, really. "We can't?" Because it sure as heck looks to me like that's what you're doing. His budget plan does not cancel the remaining TARP spending, does not cancel the remaining Spendulus spending, does not cut back discretionary spending to where it was before he and his Congressional majority increased it 24%, and does not cancel his increased health care spending.
Tell me, does this graph look like fiscal restraint to you?

The real budget plan was spilled by Barney Frank last fall.
'We Are Trying on Every Front to Increase the Role of Government' - Barney Frank, (Dumb-Mass) 26 October 2009
And by Joe Biden last summer,
"Now, people when I say that look at me and say, 'What are you talking about, Joe? You're telling me we have to go spend money to keep from going bankrupt?'" Biden said. "The answer is yes, that's what I'm telling you." - Joe Biden, July 16, 2009
I don't think it's such a crazy idea any more to think that the Obamacrat goal is to raise government spending so high that major tax increases are inevitable. And not much of a stretch after that to conclude that they are comfortable with a US economy that is permanently crippled by taxation, debt, and regulation, and permanently in the shadow of China.
