Several points here...
1. cutting funding in the middle of a war? Is this the "Scaple" he was talking about.
2. raising taxes on business in the middle of a recession? Is this the smartest thing to do?
3. In the article it talks about how Obama will end the temporary tax cuts. Read between the line people, that will be a net tax raise for EVERYONE.
discuss.
The naiveté' is beyond the pale when it comes to this empty headed Liberals mental state.
So what Government waste does this child like President think he is going to cut? What is the BIGGEST cost of Government? That's right, WAGES and BENEFITS.
How much does he honestly think he will save in Iraq while ramping up the efforts in Afghanistan? The military is not going to disappear, just the costs to be in Iraq. You will still have costs associated with it and the savings again will be nominal.
How much can he save by gutting the military? Well, he can do like Clinton did and close bases and cut the number of service people; but then you will have MORE unemployment.
The circle of stupidity will come full circle in a matter of months when REALITY hit's the perpetual candidate who never managed anything more than his personal budget and activist past.
The level of ignorance it takes to make such claims is profound and stunning. Meanwhile, every time Obama or someone from his administration opens their mouths, the stock market drops. But hey, what the hell, Obama's people told us what they think of us; we're a nation of cowards.
Truth be told, we're a nation of ignoramuses for putting these economically challenged morons in charge so they can destroy what is left of our economy.
So let’s summarize the numbers; $700 billion to bail out the financial markets – NO funding debate – so far, no results; $45 billion to auto manufacturers – NO funding debate – results so far, the auto manufacturers are coming back for MORE; $785 billion in a spending package – NO funding debate – too early to tell what results it will have other than the stock market is tanking; $275 billion being proposed to bail out the mortgage industry; deficit carry over from 2008 was about $495 billion – NO funding debate.
If my math is right, so far we have watched this Democrat Congress pass $1.53 trillion, add to this the previous deficit we get $2.025 trillion and if we add the mortgage proposal it comes to $2.3 trillion. Now if we add the interest to this new unfunded debt, we are probably talking in the neighborhood of $2.5 trillion.
Now for the REAL disaster that no one wants to talk about; the unfunded obligations of Social Security and Medicare which are expected to be out of funds by the year 2010 to 2015.
But not to worry, Obama thinks he will cut all this deficit spending in half by cutting waste in Government (where have we heard this before?), pulling us out of Iraq and by allowing the Bush tax cuts expire.
I’m sorry, but even being an optimist about our ability to get through tough times, if this continues, I am truly frightened about the future of this great nation. We are headed for the greatest financial crises and potential bankruptcy of the Federal Government we have ever seen. And what is the Liberals response to this insanity – George Bush did it and we won!
Well America, you get what you voted for. For those of you who thought Obama was a moderate, this should remove all doubts; he is an idiot.
Carry on!
