I can just see it now:
My Fellow Americans, a couple years ago I made a deal with The House and Senate Republicans to Spend Wildly like a Drunken Muslim and Leave your children holding the nill, in return for spending cuts and tax increase to balance the budget, and these peopl now are telling me I can’t break the Promise I made, well Folks I won and they Lost and whatever I said before, forget about it. These stupid republicans were dumb enough to make a deal with me in the first place, so me breaking the deal is just my way of rubbing their nose in it. Remember folks When a Democrat give his word, that’s all it is, is a word.
All of this is a cruel joke. Both parties are making a big deal about cutting $100 a year for ten years out of an annual budget of $3.7 trillion. It is barely a rounding error. We need to cut back much more. The federal budget is now equal to 25% of GDP up from the norm of 18% to 20%. The political elite still doesn’t get it. We can’t get this reversed without some serious pain. The longer we delay it, the greater the pain.
