The community organizer was one of the main culprits leading the movement forcing banks to lend, lend, lend... whether or not receivers could pay back. Go back and google him leading marches to the HOUSE of bank presidents....

Pull Caledfwlch out of the stone and have at it.

Enact the Fair Tax, and close down the IRS. They just put on 17000 new employees, get rid of them and the rest of the Gestapo.

It was reported on here a year or so ago that the IRS uses about 35% of the money it collects just for its own operations. That is easy to fix

[verity]

“The right tool for the job.”

[catman67]

My exact first thought!!

[Castigar]

“The President ought to know this and stop proposing “investment” in those super fast, high speed, trains”

I think this bizarre obsession with high speed rail is really a combination of union job/infrastructure projects and the UN Man in the Biosphere project - where the government wants to specify the only places where man is allowed to live and specify where man can’t live and the human enclaves are connected by corridors that are traveled by the trains.

[SMARTY]

Yup!! You beat me to it!!

BTW- I saw a ‘begging for support’ spot on PBS the other night. These people are greedy, shameless and unutterably dishonest. They are SO in the black it is ridiculous AND make not even a pretense of speaking for ALL the Americans whose tax revenues are spent for public broadcasting.

Fie!!!

[GnuHere]

Good column.

[ryan71]

This is pretty simple.

Whether the president agrees or not that serious cuts have to be made he is sure that doing so is political suicide. He's forcing Republicans to do the deed.

Do the Republicans have the courage to do it? I'm not convinced.

[MrB]

They should do it and mock the president for not having the courage to do it himself.

[PGalt]

Well-stated. Defund EVERY collective including foreign collectives/countries. Heads should roll. We are not economic slaves for collectivist totalitarians. It’s 2011. Wake up.

The scalpel reference was laugh out loud funny when Obama used it in the campaign. It was so obvious it was a focus group tested phrase employed to make him seem deep, thoughtful, and nuanced. A couple others were "game changer" and "above my pay grade."

The Platitudinist in Chief.

[ryan71]

Absolutely! The Republicans need to recognize this as a golden opportunity to lead.

[Daveinyork]

Meat cleaver? How about a chain saw?

[Daveinyork]

Oops, you beat me to it.

[Daveinyork]

Yeah. the Repubs should make huge cuts, way beyond what is necessary, and let the President bargain for a few crumbs to be thrown his way.

[unixfox]

Add to that list, stop paying dues to the U.N. Run the corrupt bastards out of town, and sell the building to private enterprise.

[flat]

[GonzoGOP]

Some want the power of the meat cleaver, some want the precision of the scalpel. May I propose a compromise.

We need to send some serious budget ninjas to DC.
