By now, anyone who has been paying attention knows that President Obama has submitted his 2012 budget and it's a laugher. Well, it's not really funny unless you listen to Barry say, with a straight face, that he's making "deep" cuts.
Here's the best description I've read so far, from The Jewish World Review:
Government is morbidly obese. Not chunky, not fat, morbidly obese. Anyone who tells you otherwise is an utter liar. Anyone who tells you that we can't cut ten percent or more of everything — without missing a beat — is a complete fraud.
We are a pivotal moment in this country, one where we're about to find out if the whiners whose entire lives revolve around sucking the government teat, outnumber those who provide the cow. If that is the case, we're through as a nation. Not floundering, not mucking about, not flailing away.
Through.
The Keystone Keynesians tried it their way. They "stimulated" us into a "recovery" in which progressive "expert" after progressive "expert" remains baffled by the "unexpected results" of chronic unemployment, rising prices and dismal growth. Their steadfast determination to keep doing that which has failed demonstrates nothing more than the bankruptcy of an ideologically incapable of dealing with reality. Their contention that government isn't spending enough on whatever pet project they deem "crucial" is obscene.
Meanwhile, instead of addressing the largest issue facing the country - the deficit - MoveOn is telling us that those wascally Wepublicans are going to take away abortion!
Didn't Ted Kennedy threaten "back alley abortions" in the 80s when demagoguing Robert Bork? When will these people get some new issues?
