Obama's Fantasy Budget

To understand Barack Obama, you have to recognize that he has established a clear pattern of calculated misrepresentations to mislead and confuse the public as to what he is doing and what he believes. For example, he repeatedly says he is only interested in what works, not ideology. That is meant to mislead and distract you away from his left wing extremist ideology, which is really what governs his policies and actions.

If you carefully examine his economic policies, you see he thoroughly avoids proven, practical policies that would stimulate economic growth, and pursues left-wing ideology instead. Nowhere in his economic program is there any reduction in tax rates, which is what creates real incentives for economic growth. Instead, he proposes in his new budget to sharply increase tax rates, because of his liberal/left ideology.

Instead of reducing government spending, just a few weeks ago he adopted the largest increase in government spending in world history through his so-called economic stimulus bill, which will only stimulate the increased welfare and Big Government that Obama believes in ideologically. Obama's new budget proposes the largest increase in Federal spending since World War II, an insane one-year increase of 33% over the prior budget, from $3 trillion in fiscal 2008 to $4 trillion for fiscal 2009. That whopping $4 trillion is the largest Federal spending total in U.S. history.

Obama says in his budget message that we have arrived at this present crisis "as a result of an era of profound irresponsibility…." Does this wild spending increase to record levels sound responsible to you?

There is nothing original in the article, but Ferrara has done a good job of tying Obama's tax and spending plans together.

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”
