Bye, bye birdie. Let's see, if corporations are already on the ropes, let's tax the hell out of what is left of their 'profits'. Oh, and let's then brag about how we gave tax cuts to 95% of the American people. It is all black magic.

President Obama is putting the finishing touches on an ambitious first budget that seeks to cut the federal deficit in half over the next four years, primarily by raising taxes on business and the wealthy and by slashing spending on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, administration officials said.
In addition to tackling a deficit swollen by the $787 billion stimulus package and other efforts to ease the nation's economic crisis, the budget blueprint will press aggressively for progress on the domestic agenda Obama outlined during the presidential campaign. This would include key changes to environmental policies and a major expansion of health coverage that Obama hopes to enact later this year.
A summary of Obama's budget request for the fiscal year that begins in October will be delivered to Congress on Thursday, with the complete, multi-hundred-page document to follow in April. But Obama plans to unveil his goals for scaling back record deficits and rebuilding the nation's costly and inefficient health care system Monday, when he addresses more than 100 lawmakers and budget experts at a White House summit on restoring "fiscal responsibility" to Washington

Obama turns to budget, health care, entitlements
By JIM KUHNHENN and CHARLES BABINGTON, Associated Press
WASHINGTON – After focusing his first month on the economic mess he inherited, ...
Absolutely, wealth can be created infinitely, but liberals believe its finite and worse yet, theirs to distribute "fairly"
Thee you go, letting those pesky facts get in the way.
Obama is DOUBLEPLUSGOOD.
Where's your faith in hope and change?
“rebuilding the nation’s costly and inefficient health care system”
“Rebuilding” is not the word I would use.
They will tear down the HC system. The technology and development will come to a screeching halt.
The only consolation is that nurse labor groups will get it the worst, just like in the auto industry.

Do you really think the huge deficits run up by Reagan and Bush were such an improvement, not to mention the shift to blind deregualtion that let those Wall Street fat cats destroy the entire world’s economy. I don’t know if O will do better, but I doubt he will do worse even if he is secretly trying. As you can see deliberately trying to do something “good” has been disasterous, perhaps deliberately trying to do bad might have the opposite effect.
Get out the KY jelly and bend over.
"Hey! That was my idea!" LBJ
Read it closely. There is a statement in it referencing the nationalization of health care.
Of course this protocol has been a disaster every time it’s been tried in the past. But this time Hussein the Great will be in charge, so it’s bound to work like a charm!
“money represents—a value measure of human labor that serves as a medium for trade.”
And this is when it all started to go to h#$%. Big money guys started their leveraged buyouts, arbitrage and bundling paper to unsuspecting buyers, and pocketing huge unearned profits. Getting companies, breaking them up, dumping parts, selling others, not producing anything of value except profits for their own pockets at unbelievably hight rates. A million dollars for one or two days work. This is “honest labor?” The years before Lehman Brothers went belly up the CEO (07) salary was $52 million. In (08) they raised it to $72 million. I guess because the 454 million shares he owned had lost value. [source - Forbes Exceutive Compensation] Maybe this is why they government decided not to bail them out.
Zero is the best friend the state has ever had; he's only the enemy of the rest of us.

MASSIVE Tax Increases — now THAT will really help the economy! (sarc)
Obama will accomplish in about a year what none of the enemies of the US has been able to accomplish since the existence of the US: destroy it completely.
Definitely time for a tea party!
This is the only way we will ever get the attention of our elected officiala and the masses- protest!

Freedoms first has recently received permission to hold our protest in Washington DC. Our protest will now be held at the lincoln Memorial Reflections Pool in front of the Lincoln memorial ,on a date that will be released on feb 12 2009.
We find this very interesting because just two weeks earlier Washington told us we could no protest in DC for at least a year and a half . But the day the spendulus bill passes we get a call from Washington inviting us with a choice of dates and locations. Folks we take this as a sign that our country if starting to realise the mistake they have made with putting Obama in office.
We will have live speakers and other entertainment for you.
WE would like to see 1 million supporters attend this protest. It is time to take our country back and make our voices heard.
Why are we protesting ?
1. To get the attention of the mainstream media.
2. To demand That Obama Provide proof that he is eligible to be president.
3. To demand that Congress and the Supreme court uphold our constitution.
4. To inform the public on the issue of Obama’s ineligibility to be president of the USA.
5. To demand that they can not take our constitutional rights away.
6. To say no to abortions.
Please take the time to sign up so we have an idea of how many people we have attending and to get update emails so you know what to do , where to meet , where to park and what is happening so on and so forth.
Thank you for your attention and patriotism
