Good Morning, Suckers by Peter Ferrara

Peter Ferrara – A guide to the most reckless budget in U.S. history. President Obama's budget released on Monday proposes to spend $3.73 trillion for 2012. He can't say Bush made him do that. That proposed spending is an undeniable fact that reveals who he is, which he successfully hid from 53% of voters in 2008.

Campaigning in 2008 he promised voters that his plan involved a “net spending cut.” That net spending cut translated into $836 billion in increased spending this year from 2008, according to President Obama’s own budget documents. That is a federal spending increase of nearly 30% since 2008. Either President Obama does not know what “net spending cut” means in English, or he bamboozled a lot of people in 2008.

Almost makes you want to take to the streets to demand resignations and honest elections. But that couldn’t happen here. For one thing, you need a free and independent press to have true democratic elections.

Fool Me Once, Shame on You…

But President Obama keeps on trickin’. In his budget message and in his State of the Union, Obama celebrated what he calls a domestic spending freeze. Actually, the freeze applies only to non-security, domestic discretionary spending, which is 12% of the budget.
