President Obama, drawing immediate condemnation from congressional Republicans, unveiled a new deficit reduction plan Monday anchored by $1.5 trillion in new taxes.
The president, announcing a plan in the Rose Garden that includes more than $2 trillion total in entitlement cuts and tax increases over the next decade, rejected demands made last week by House Speaker John Boehner.

Technically how long does the DNC have to challenge Obama in a primary? If it was going to happen I would think it would have by now but Obama is in a meltdown.

No More Food stamps for Lobster, Prime Rib, Imports, Twinkies, Wine, or luxury items?
You should have seen the chunky woman I encountered in the grocery check out line the other day. She had 4, 10 pound roasts, and a 10 lb. bag of fresh shrimp, amoung other things. She paid with her EBT card, but it fell $15 short of the total. So she painstakingly got her debit card out of her fat wallet to pay for the rest.
I think she drove away in a Hummer.
Oh yes they can it is done every day..
Cigarettes,cigars,beer,wine anything.There is a special keyring of bar codes that are booze and smokes but ring up as milk,cheese,cereal.
Didn’t hear the oration (thank God) but does this include the 467 billion for the jobs thing or is this in addition to that? That would be a $2T tax increase. That’s impossible!!
I know that in florida restaurants are taking the food stamps for payment.
OK...well that’s a START! :-)
Family that lost a six figure job had to go on welfare.They said they NEVER ate better.
I just saw an article that said he is going on another vacation. Where to this time anyone know?
Who is the other rumored challenger that’s name has been dropped? Bloomberg?
I have not bought a roast or a bag of shrimp in YEARS. LOL.
1. "Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have."
2. "Never go outside the expertise of your people. When an action or tactic is outside the experience of the people, the result is confusion, fear and retreat.... [and] the collapse of communication.
3. "Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy. Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty. (
4. "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules. You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity."
5. "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counteract ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage."
6. "A good tactic is one your people enjoy."
7. "A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag. Man can sustain militant interest in any issue for only a limited time...."
8. "Keep the pressure on, with different tactics and actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose."
9. "The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself."
10. "The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition. It is this unceasing pressure that results in the reactions from the opposition that are essential for the success of the campaign."
11. "If you push a negative hard and deep enough, it will break through into its counterside... every positive has its negative." 12. "The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative."
13. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.
[ Taxing millionaires has been his plan all along. How else will free health care be paid for? Part of the wealth re-distribution agenda. ]
But he refuses to tax his Billionaire Benefactors like Buffett!
Yep, it’s not class warfare, it’s math! And raise everybody’s taxes if math reduces the deficit!
There, fixed for accuracy. Food stamps are traded for cash all the time, and cash as you know can be used to purchase alcohol, hot food, crack, etc.
Or making them pay some minimum tax to regain their self respect.
“...But he refuses to tax his Billionaire Benefactors like Buffett!...”
And George Soros.
Fixed. Of course, this does imply that liberals were not bothered by this plan in the slightest...
