In other news, Hell’s in the middle of a winter storm...
Great, since Obama is so serious now on cutting spending, then when the US Senate passes the repeal on Obamacare and dumps it on his desk, Obama should have no problem signing it.
Why not freeze it. It is as bloated as it has ever been. How about a budget CUT?
Indeed, let’s freeze budgets and historical and unsustainable levels. That’ll fix things right up.
His strategy: pump up spending to gargantuan levels with supposed “temporary” “emergency” spending, and then “freeze” spending at those high levels.
So his campaign for 2012 is to run on the GOP ticket?
Re-invent himself!?
Next time, we need to elect someone whose training wheels come off at 90 days.
He wants to freeze the budget and make a $1.6 trillion deficit a permanent fixture? Yeah, that’ll work.
Didn't Obumbler and his minions in the 111th anti-Progress deride this idea when the Republicans suggested it in the campaign?
Except for Kobe beef and white truffle dinners at the WH, health care for feds, SEIU, teachers’ salaries and anything from Chicago.........
Conservatives at the SOTU need to do the wave periodically, just for fun.
He will give with one hand, just watch what the other hand is doing. He’s like a slick pick pocket.
The budget is frozen and earmarks are banned.
Now, here is the list of waivers and exemptions...
A temporary budget freeze = no cuts = we stop accelerating towards the cliff but still go over it.
“We are going to ban all earmarks.” - Baraq Hussein Obama - 9 Jan 2009
Freezing the budget at an unsustainable level is not an acceptable answer. They have to slash all wasteful spending. Any money beyond what we needed in 2006 is clearly optional and should be cut immediately unless there is an overwhelming reason for that spending. As far as I'm concerned, even that spending should be justified line item by line item or eliminated. It's time to phase out the massive waste that our federal government has become and restore the Constitution and the concept of enumerated powers.
Sure.
After raising our Debt by a couple of TRILLION dollars and shoving burdeing social programs not wanted by the people down our throats now that his party is not in total control he wants a spending freeze and no earmarks. What an assclown.
Freeze the budget at unprecedented high levels. Who falls for this crap?
Time to get into a bidding war.
“I’ll see you and raise you by a cut of an additional trillion dollars”...
The budget needs to be rolled back at least 20% or this country is toast.
Repeal Obamacare
Reduce Health and Human Services budget by 30%
Cut all other budgets except Defense by a mandatory 20%
Give all Congress a 20% cut in pay
Take back all the bonus money money paid to the criminal managers of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and use it to pay the interest on our national debt.
Yes! Let’s Ban Earmarks AGAIN!
One of these times it will actually work
