Obama Proposes Spending Freeze

[deacon blues]

A month ago President Obama signed a bill that increased govt spending by 12%. Today he proposed a spending freeze that essentially cuts spending by 1%.

Can we all collectively say it together?

W-I-N-D-O-W D-R-E-S-S-I-N-G

Huffington calls it Obama's Schizophrenic Economic Policy. Couldn't agree more!

Ah politics.

It's pretty bad when even the media and liberals call it playing politics and terrible. They don't even support him on it.

BHO campaigned against a spending freeze, btw...

Obama's 2012 Campaign Theme:

"Dopes Who Will Believe Us"

His freeze is basically his way of guaranteeing his programs will recieve the bloated level of funding he gave them fo rht enext 3 years. He raised the budget of the EPA by 35% under his reign of stupidity. Now they would get 3 years of that crazy level.

Boot him OUT!

His freeze will last 3 years beginning in 2011. It only will apply to $447 billion toward the $3.5 trillion budget. It won't apply to any of the unspent $862 billion stimulus plan, his healthcare plan or the House of Representatives $156 billion stimulus plan.

By 2020, the budget forecasts a $1.9 trillion annual budget deficit, a public debt of 98 percent of GDP and annual net interest spending surpassing $1 trillion.

I rented a new release DVD yesterday and on it was a trailer for some new release HBO doc on BHO's campaign. It was pretty amusing watching the clips on the trailer from back then, seeing how the campaign was then, compared to now. I think I may rent it when I get a free rental.

Where were all the deficit hawks when George Bush was increasing spending on two wars and cutting taxes at the same time? Clinton was on target to eliminate the deficit, republicans blew it up. Suffer now, Hypocrites!
