Now that he's taking a beating from them, I wonder how much longer Obama (and his administration) will ‘tolerate’ the use of the term ‘nonpartisan’ when referring to the CBO before ‘speaking out’ against it.

A trillion here and a trillion there and it starts to add up to real money.

Obama’s Massage Parlor budget - “Let’s just massage those numbers to look a little better.”

He’ll finish his one term lower than Carter, and go down in history are the worst POTUS in history.

Headed there now like a freight train.

This whole economic/financial thing is the equivalent on that poor little strand of cord holding the fat lady’s bustle during the final Aria. Whether Obama and his scum can keep it from breaking and unfolding the ‘folds of deceit’ exposed by the collapse is the main question. With lies, deceit, collusion, and willing cooperation from the MSM, he is crawling to the finish line of 2012. If he makes it victoriously, the shit will hit the fan soon thereafter and the drastic funds confiscation will start. He has no other financially viable alternative whatsoever - the overseas partners are tired of buy toilet paper T-bills.

To anyone experienced in real world finance, large variations in numbers reported mean one thing: the numbers are so heavily manipulated with so many assumptions they are meaningless.

Our tax dollars are MOSTLY being stolen by an enormous collection of criminal syndicates.

All three branches of the Federal government have consistently demonstrated a willingness to participate in this crime.

Therefore, having government control it’s own budget has become an obsolete idea.

It will not work.

The House of Representatives has the “purse strings” but does nothing. They are rapidly running out of time to start cutting the size of government. Non-military needs to go to perhaps 10% to 30% of it’s current size at this point. SS and medicare/medicaid needs to be transitioned to the free market.

Congress needs to be isolated from all lobbyists.

Executive branch is out of control.

The Republican Party should cough up enough cash to buy TV time to explain the horrendous financial condition that the Democrats’ vote buying has caused. The news media absolutely refuses to let the message get out otherwise.

Right before the vote to raise the debt ceiling would be a good time to have this fire-and-brimstone chat with the ignorant public. Perhaps the teachable ones would not join the government unions in going ape at the thought of the government shutting down after seeing the disastrous course the nation is taking.

The way this administration spends money, this is nothing more than a “rounding error”.

"On the revenue side, taxes on individual income and social insurance account for more than 80 percent of all revenues."

"Individuals" continue to buy far too much while producing and selling far too little. Feed the beast, deserve what you get.

Interesting chart.

Did the source ( what is it anyway?) give a breakdown of the specific promises he made?
