Obama’s Deficit Will be Four Times the Size of Bush’s

Hypocrisy. Politics. They just go hand in hand don’t they? Remember all that rhetoric from the Obama camp about “inheriting” a trillion dollars of deficit? Oh the outrage. How dare the Republicans leave the anointed one with such a huge deficit! Yea well it appears that they don’t really care about the deficit. They only care in so far as they will have a more difficult time running the deficit up even further. Form the AP:

President Barack Obama’s budget would produce $9.3 trillion in deficits over the next decade, more than four times the deficits of Republican George W. Bush’s presidency, congressional auditors said Friday.

The new Congressional Budget Office figures offered a far more dire outlook for Obama’s budget than the new administration predicted just last month — a deficit $2.3 trillion worse. It’s a prospect even the president’s own budget director called unsustainable.

In his White House run, Obama assailed the economic policies of his predecessor…

$9.3 trillion dollars of deficits. That’s what gets piled up on top of the DEBT. Our leaders are bankrupting this country. You will be paying for it with higher taxes. All of us.

And think of this: If they are able to nationalize your health care the government will not be able to pay for it. So they will skimp on services. Oh yes they will. You better think how you are going to feel when the local health bureaucrat tells you that you cannot continue the government services for your mom’s cancer treatment because there is not enough money left for that treatment this quarter. So you think you will just buy the treatment on the open market? Nah, you won’t have enough money for that because they will have taxed you 75% to pay for all of the current spending.

Yea we elected a good crew to run our country. Good job people! I was listening to the Hannity the other day do his mn on the street segment. He must have been doing it remotely because he had his assistant on the street and he was talking to the lumpen through her. He asked some 20 year old genius if he voted. He said yes. Ha nnity asked who did he vote for. He said Obama. Hannity asked if he was happy with the job Obama was doing. The young man said definitely. Hannity asked him “what do you think of the Vice President…you know, um, what is his name?” The dude was silent. Hannity prodded him further. “You know the Vice President, what’s his name?” The guy was like, “um I can’t remember.”

Really? I’m so not surprised. A vast majority voted for Obama because they wanted to be part of history. Or they heard he was cool from Jon Stewart. They got caught up in the hipness from the ‘net. But hardly anybody could tell, even me when I asked, why they were voting for the guy. “I’m voting for change”, is all I got. Well we’re getting change and our country is turning into a  banana republic. Good going guys.
