Michael Tanner of the CATO INSTITUTE says it all:

Let’s be clear: There have been no spending cuts since Obama became president. In 2010, the first year that President Obama was fully responsible for federal spending (President Obama signed the 2009 budget, but it’s fair to blame most of the spending in it on President Bush, who essentially proposed it), the federal government spent $3.45 trillion.

Last year, we spent $3.54 trillion, nearly $100 billion more. And, outlays for the first four months of FY 2013 are $39.3 billion more than in the first four months of FY 2012. If we have seen a slight reduction in budget deficits, it is due exclusively to tax hikes and additional increased revenue as the economy comes out of recession.

And given the presidential wish list, we aren’t going to see any spending cuts anytime soon. The president wants to spend more money on education, infrastructure, “green energy,” manufacturing subsidies, universal preschool, and pretty much everything else. At the same time, the president warned that the upcoming sequester, a 2.4 percent reduction in projected future federal spending, would return us to something akin to the Dark Ages.

We are a Nation that has survived a Revolution, a redux of the former, a Civil War, two World Wars, and numerous lesser wars, only to be destroyed by a Communist, treasonous, fraudulent usurper voted in by the truly stupid, and other duped voters, some of whom meant well, but duped nonetheless.

WHY ARE WE JUST STANDING AROUND AND LETTING HIM GET AWAY WITH THIS?

He is breaking our laws on a daily basis, gloating, and flaunting it, sticking his finger in our eye. Surely, there is someone who can stop him before it’s too late! Where are our Checks and Balances? Who is going to enforce our Constitution and protect the separation of powers? What are we doing?
