Is this budget kabuki dance madness or what. Obama is as deranged as the Republicans in tying in reduced spending with the debt increase, even while our economy is on life support.
Name any government, anywhere, that reduces spending during a deep recession?
These people in Washington are all out of their minds! This is government idea of the hour! Do all these idiots want to completely destroy our country’s economy?
Why is it that Arlington National Cemetery, the home of “Our Nation’s Heroes” as President Obama and every member of the U.S. Congress calls them, is in such disrepair that a private volunteer organization had to install a new sprinkler system and clean up and plant the decimated “hallowed grounds” at a cost of $200,000 and thousands of man hours of work. There is money to build roads and infrastructure in Afghanistan and to fight a losing war there while our infrastructure declines and yes, our National Cemeteries, are left to fall apart and wither. Talk about a presidential and congressional disgrace!
80% of the American public has some form of anger towards the federal government. Joseph Stiglitz, former Chief Economist of the World Bank has said that a Middle Eastern type anti-government revolution here is not out of the realm of possibility some time in the future. I agree! Stay Tuned



Well said Ernie! Throw the bums out.
Spending your way out of a bubble induced recession is like drinking your way to sobriety. It’s time for the pigs of all parties to back away from the trough and realize that government is very rarely the answer and more than not, the problem itself. Remember, just a few short years ago in 2006, it was Obama and his Democrat buddies who were “holding the line” on increasing the debt ceiling. It’s all an elaborate show to hide the fact that your country has been looted by the banksters and global conglomerates while you buried your face in Idol reruns.
