The young President calls them tough choices, sharing the sacrifice. But I can assure you it’s nothing of the kind. Bamboozled!

If you are looking for some facts to slap back at your lefty friends when they tell you how painful these budget cuts are in the new Obama budget … here are two great articles and one great interview. First up from John Merline, opinion editor at AOL News. Budget cuts? What budget cuts?

But how deep are these cuts really? Take a closer look, and they turn out to be less than meets the eye.

The Great Obama Tax Cut okie-Doke

I’m still wondering where my Obama Tax Cut is. He keeps saying under him every American received a Tax Cut. Where is it?

Assuming I made the same as last year and had the same deductions, my Tax went down 2 Dollars.

2009 Tax Table
Taxable Income-Married filing jointly
61,250-61,300
Your Tax is $8,356

2010 Tax Table
Taxable Income-Married filing jointly
61,250-61,300
Your Tax is $8,354

This also means the $13 a week or so less in withholding that was taken out (Obama’s phony tax cut) is money still owed. You will get that much less back or will owe that much more.

To quote the philosopher Al Bundy, "Big 'uns!".

If the deficit isn't cut, we're heading for a trainwreck.

If the deficit is closed with truly oppressive tax raises, the redistribution will be so dramatic that work will grind to a halt, and along with it, the economy. BIG cuts are needed.

The “hokie pokie”

He puts his right hand in, he takes his rights hand out,

he puts his left hand in, and he take my money out...
