Budget Smoke and Mirrors -- Where's the Outrage?

There has doubtlessly been great anxiety about the economy, but I think even greater anxiety exists over what President Barack Obama is doing and planning to do to this country. We've always had economic downturns, and we've always recovered, but we've never deliberately planned to spend ourselves into bankruptcy, from which we may not be able to recover.

True, our smorgasbord of entitlements has threatened our long-term solvency for some time, and reckless politicians have been negligent in refusing to reform them and, instead, have just created more. But Obama takes profligate spending to entirely new levels while pretending to be a fiscal hawk.

With all due respect to Mr. Obama, I don't recall ever seeing another president whine so much about the mess his predecessor left him, disgracing the motto of former Democratic President Harry Truman that "the buck stops here." Though childish and unpresidential, the worst part about it is that he's using it as a bogus justification to do much worse.

Seriously, how many times are we going to have to hear him say, "Republicans have a short memory, because as I recall, I'm inheriting a $1.3 trillion annual deficit from them"?

The mass outrage isn’t there because the ‘masses’ don’t perceive spending your ass into irretrievable debt is their problem, period. Most, if not all, are living off the rest of us real tax paying Americans...their entitlements won’t change - just get bigger. Their EBTs won’t shrink. They just don’t give a rat’s damn as long as they can buy their lottery tickets, beer/wine and Newports or whatever they smoke that’s legal. Same goes for a lot of people on Social Security and Medicare. They think wrong. This government will finally have to start printing money on paper worth nothing more than what everyone wipes their bottoms with. They can’t comprehend the fact that this will drive the prices up for those Newports, 40s, and yes, even lottery tickets.....screw them all.

I believe the libs are savoring the "poetic justice" of a black man turning us all into indentured servants for the next few generations. /s

My outrage overflows.

The problem is this is such a full-on assault that I hardly know where to focus.

I think we’ve been in a quasi civil war in this country for some time now. It’s only a matter of time before it goes hot. I’ll take no pleasure in it but will do my part when the time comes.

When the government can achieve their goal of 51% of the population on government assistance, they will have won the battle and there will be no turning back.

They already have the 51+%.....they have just had trouble in getting all them to vote in the past. Additionally, their fraudulent voting has also dramatically been reinforced and will be even stronger. There is no honest way to beat them now.
