“Obama spending cuts.”

---

I’d like to see someone start with why we even need to increase current
spending.

These “ cuts “ if I understand it correctly are additional spending over and
above the current levels.

In our personal lives we are required to wisely spend what we have, before
thinking about spending more.

The MSM ignores this basic point to make it sound like some heroic act , with
dire consequences.

How have we operated at current levels without having to shut anything down.

e.g. any of the scares related to airports....

That should but won’t be asked.

I’d like to see someone start with why we even need to increase current spending.

Entitlements, other "mandatory" spending, and debt servicing costs comprise almost two thirds of the budget. They will continue to go up as our population ages and our national debt increases as we continue to run deficits.

Unless we rein in the welfare state, we will not solve our fiscal problems with spending cuts from the other one-third of the budget.

The increase is necessitated so that the Demoviks can stuff more cash in the pockets of the unions, academics, etc., who slut for them and keep them in office.

It is also necessary to keep up with the very inflation that the Demoviks (and Repukes) create with their debt and outta control money-printing.
