Obama’s Shifty Budgetary Positions

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

Obama plans to announce a 3 year freeze on discretionary non-security spending during his first State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress tomorrow evening according to Senior White House officials.

The shifty policy move is intended to blunt the populist backlash against Obama’s $787 Billion Dollar now $862 Billion Dollar Economic Stimulus program which the CBO says, will cost taxpayers more than originally believed, as more people are collecting unemployment benefits because they’ve lost jobs which the failed bill was supposed to have preserved.

Harry Reid Scheduled 1:00 am Cloture Vote on ObamaCare, Which No One Read

Monday, December 21st, 2009

In order to pass the Senate Health Care bill by Christmas Time which no one could read Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-NV scheduled the cloture vote at 1:00 am

Why did Harry Reid schedule the Cloture Vote at 1:00 am?

Barack Obama loves to blame his failures on Bush, just like the Democrat-Socialists in the Senate blame their challenges on Republicans, despite the fact that Harry Reid along with 58 seat majority and 2 Independents which caucus with the Democrats in the Senate, do not need any GOP votes to do anything.

Obama claimed today that the Democrat-Socialist Health Care bill is Deficit Neutral

Riiight—Promises, Promises, Promises—Big Promises.

Cash-for-Clunkers was only supposed to cost taxpayers between $3500 to $4500 per car but ended up costing $24,000 per car..why would anyone believe what Obama promises?

Remember when Obama campaigned on the promise that he was going to restore fiscal discipline to Washington, ending wasteful government spending but instead quadrupled the federal budget deficit from $459 Billion Dollars in 2008 to $1.85 Trillion Dollars this year.

Obama: We Cant Continue Treating Tax Dollars Like “Monopoly Money”

Monday, December 21st, 2009

Barack Obama says, “In the long run we can’t continue to spend as if deficits don’t have consequences, as if waste doesn’t matter, as if the hard earned tax dollars of the American people can be treated like monopoly money, that we’ve seen time and time again, Washington has become more concerned about the next election than the next generation.” Video here Via Real Clear Politics

Obama doesn’t mean it—last week Obama signed into law a $1.1 Trillion Dollar Spending bill containing over 5,000 earmarks and just today Obama praised Democrat-Socialists in the Senate for overcoming the health care filibuster efforts which is expected to cost the taxpayers at least $1.8 Trillion Dollars during the first 10 years.

Last month I wrote here that Obama Quadruples Federal Budget Deficit which is on an unsustainable path because the federal debt will continue to grow much faster than the economy over the long run.

China: World Can’t Buy More U.S. Debt

US Debt

China the largest holder of U.S. Debt says the world just does not have the money to continue to fund Obama’s Budget Deficit which has quadrupled during the first year of his watch with an out of control spending Democrat Congress.

Zhu Min, Deputy Director of the Peoples Bank of China said, “The United States can’t force foreign governments to increase their holdings of U.S. Securities…the world does not have so much money to buy more U.S. Treasuries.”

Obama Grades Himself

While President Obama may believe that he deserves a B+ for his first year in office and an A- should Democrat Socialists in Congress send him legislation which nationalizes health care, continued unrestrained federal spending is bankrupting our country. Obama deserves nothing but a failing grade for his handling of the economy during his first year as President.

ObamaCare is projected to cost taxpayers by some estimates $2.5 Trillion Dollars adding to a ballooning budget deficit.

Today the Treasury Department announced that the national debt now exceeds the national debt limit, last raised by Congress in February to fund Obama’s failed Economic Stimulus.

On the 07 December, I wrote here that Obama’s Redistribution of Wealth have cost the taxpayers $246,436.00 per created job,  definitely not a very good expenditure of taxpayers money.

In August, most American wanted unused Stimulus Money returned to the Treasury but Democrat-Socialists in Congress, who are spending money like a drunken sailor, have chosen to ignore their constituents.

Remember when Candidate Obama, promised us that he would Restore Fiscal Discipline if elected President.
