WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama says he is making difficult cuts in the nation's budget to allow needed spending increases in education, technology and public works projects.

In a broad preview of his administration's blueprint for the budget year that begins Oct. 1, Obama says the combination of cuts and new spending will result in an overall freeze in annual domestic spending for the next five years.

"This budget asks Washington to live within its means, while at the same time investing in our future," the president said Saturday .. to release his budget on Monday.

So you rob from the kids education fund to pay for the honeymoon?

There is a big difference, Barry.

The family gets to do their own choosing.

But you've decided that your choices should be imposed.

Does that mean I should borrow next month’s rent from the Chinese guy living next door?

Yah, Baraqqi. I have to choose between Wagyu beef and dinner at the country club all the time. Just like you.

Sit down, shut up, and let adults write the budget.

it’s a wonder he isn’t talking piggy bank

[JimmyMc]

Did I see any mention for helping the private sector?
Nope, it is for all the “public” people who suck the money out of our wallets. Barack is just buying votes for 2012.

Exactly. If your broke, vacation and bullsh&t spending are gone until your debt is paid and you have cash to pay for the frivolous crap.

[GeronL]

woohoo... I’m going to go pile debt onto my great grand kids!! I will finally be living the high life.

No. 1...Kids are too fat...but you keep feeding them in school and then they go home for their soda and chips and other crap. Go back to just giving kids milk and MAYBE their parents will spend their food stamps on real food....and maybe even feed their own kids instead of me having to feed them.

How dumb can you be?

This idiot should be scooping ice cream at Baskin Robbins, he’s about 15 pay grades above his ability. Affirmitave Action has consequeces.

[cripplecreek]

Gee do I want to blow a few billion of my neighbors money on a regulatory agency to make sure he doesn’t start a business and create some jobs?

Oh yeah, I can relate.

[RWB Patriot]

The family is also limited to their own money, instead of having the power to hold up the family next door for their money.

Barack, my family would not run a $1.5 trillion annual deficit. Get with it.
