Sorry for the disjointed rambling here but I wrote this in bits over the weekend…
Consider it an A.D.D. post.
The White House said Sunday that even though the deficit goes up from its $1.4 trillion level this year, their budget plan brings it down to $792 billion in 2015. However, their calculations are based in large part on measures that must be approved by Congress, and which are by no means a certainty.
Obama ran up a record debt in 2009 of $1,400,000,000,000.00 ($1.4T) and is on track to run up a $1,600,000,000,000.00 ($1.6T) in 2010 for a grand total of $3,000,000,000,000.00 ($3 trillion) in his first two years in office, but don’t worry he is going to freeze a little bit of the spending (about 8%) for 3 years on the budgets he has already raised by around 22% … don’t you feel better now?
Obama said this spending freeze will save $250 billion over the next ten years, which is odd since this so-called freeze is only slated to last three years and even if this smoke and mirrors freeze was permanent it would take 120 year just to wipe out Obama’s debt created in the last two year and that’s not adding in interest.

One of the most ridiculous things Obama want to do in this budget is cut NASA’s space research and redirect their mission to “climate change research” this on the heels of evidence after evidence of Read more…
