President Barack Obama unveiled his budget proposal at Northern Virginia Community College in Annandale, Va., Monday morning, saying, “The main idea in the budget in this: At a time when our economy is growing and creating jobs at a faster clip, we’ve got to do everything in our power to keep this recovery on track." He said his proposals would “invest in the things that will help grow our economy right now. We can’t cut back on those things that are important for us to grow. We can’t just cut our way into growth. We can cut back on the

The list, Ping

Yet, we can spend our way there, hmmm? Doosh
Yes, if we cut the Obamaloon, his West Wing Clown Show of Felon/Cretins, Nancy Bimbosi, and that Zombie leader of the senate from all contact with this country, we can succeed in weeks, perhaps even minutes.
Fire the b*stards and b*tches.
NOW!
Coolidge's taxation policy was that of his Secretary of the Treasury, Andrew Mellon: taxes should be lower and fewer people should have to pay them.[113] Congress agreed, and the taxes were reduced in Coolidge's term.[113] In addition to these tax cuts, Coolidge proposed reductions in federal expenditures and retiring some of the federal debt.[113] Coolidge's ideas were shared by the Republicans in Congress, and in 1924 Congress passed the Revenue Act of 1924, which reduced income tax rates and eliminated all income taxation for some two million people.[113] They reduced taxes again by passing the Revenue Acts of 1926 and 1928, all the while continuing to keep spending down so as to reduce the overall federal debt.[114] By 1927, only the richest 2% of taxpayers paid any federal income tax.[114] Although federal spending remained flat during Coolidge's administration, allowing one-fourth of the federal debt to be retired, state and local governments saw considerable growth, surpassing the federal budget in 1927.[115]
I have the answer to the economic problem.
We should go break every window we can find.
Just imagine the economic activity that would follow with all the people being employed to replace all those windows.
See? I’m JUST AS SMART AS 0BAMA!
Obama needs to just go away. He is too harmful to leave until the election. Hopefully the Democrats realize this.
Just another load of absolute horse$#!+.....
The White House announced plans on Monday to help “Arab Spring” countries swept by revolutions with more than $800 million in economic aid, while maintaining U.S. military aid to Egypt.
In his annual budget message to Congress, President Barack Obama asked that military aid to Egypt be kept at the level of recent years — $1.3 billion — despite a crisis triggered by an Egyptian probe targeting American democracy activists.
The proposals are part of Obama’s budget request for fiscal year 2013, which begins October 1. His requests need the approval of Congress, where some lawmakers want to cut overseas spending to address U.S. budget shortfalls and are particularly angry at Egypt.

Well, Mr. President, you could at least spend no more than last year. That would be a start.
Certainly can’t tax our way to growth.
Did Obama hand out drugs before the speech ? Those people must have been on something .
Yes we can!Damright! We start by cutting 0bama's position in govt.
Obama needs to just go away. He is too harmful to leave until the election. Hopefully the Democrats realize this.
The only reason for Obama to leave peacefully ,if there is a job waiting for him ,paying millions and where he never has to show up.

““The main idea in the budget in this: At a time when our economy is growing and creating jobs at a faster clip, we’ve got to do everything in our power to keep this recovery on track.””
Why? Without the taxes now, the economy is growing. Just leave it the heck alone? Wonder why no one asked that question?
Obama is the most economically illiterate potus in history.
When the government takes a dollar from one part of the economy and spends it in another part of the economy, how exactly does that create growth?
