Obama proclaimed many times during the campaign, “We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.” He and his throngs of supporters preened in the glow of their own righteousness like cats in a puddle of sunlight. They were for “shared sacrifice” and a “new era of responsibility.” They wanted to put aside the “old politics” and the “tired arguments” of the past.

"Shared sacrifice” really means taking other people's money, while “greed” is not wanting to give it up and “responsibility” is when the government takes it anyway......

Right. And with the current administration "wasteful Spending" is any expenditure for closing the border, honoring the Constitution and insisting on personal responsibility. Or, for short, "conservative ideals."

Kiss our 401Ks goodby.

Several trillion just sitting there. It's too tempting for 0.

In the zero’s “new era of responsibility” you will be responsible for making your neighbor’s mortgage payment.

We are in the hands of looters. They are doing, under cover of “governing”, just what looters always do — grab as much as they can as fast as they can.

What Obama means is to not spread the wealth around, but spread the misery. In socialist states everyone except the ruling elites are equally miserable.

Not exactly....shared sacrifice is not for him and the govt. They’re too important to participate...and anyway someone needs to share (ala redistribute) the wealth.
