I saw this from a RW'er friend on FB. Not sure if it's true but thought it was interesting.

What I found below is even more interesting

Through the fog of the debt limit negotiations, President Obama has
attempted to shift the blame for America’s deficit crisis to politicians
at large, claiming
that “neither party is blameless for the decisions that led to this
problem.” Though the culture of overspending is endemic in Washington,
don’t let the President fool you—some are a lot more guilty than others.


The fact is that Obama’s budget would set America on a dangerous
fiscal course that leads to massive deficits well into the
future—hitting $1.2 trillion in 2012 and, after dipping slightly, rising
back to $1.2 trillion again by 2021.


The chart above illustrates what the country’s fiscal future looks
like. As analyzed by the Congressional Budget Office, even after the
massive tax hikes included in Obama’s budget, federal deficits total
$9.5 trillion. In other words, under his budget, the President would
more than double the national debt in just 10 years. Simply put, Obama’s
budget (which didn’t even win the support of his own party in the
United States Senate) would push America over a fiscal cliff.

    Get out of the way. Leave men free to exist. Start to pay the debt back. (Even running at an operating surplus might lower the interest rate, by signaling that creditors will get their money back!

    Atlas Shrugged.

    The anti-villain-in-chief pre-empts the new Head of State with the king of all pirate radio stations, and for three hours gives his take on "the world crisis." After that, the HoS starts asking around: "What's to do?" And that's when the heroine of the piece says, "You're through! Give up and get out of the way! Leave men free to exist!"

    BTW: Ayn Rand picked the title "Head of State" because she did NOT want to dignify her villain-in-chief with the title of POTUS. She loved America too much for that.

    We need to raise taxes on the wealthist, close loopholes and deductions for the wealthy, cut our Corp. tax down to 25%, and tweak entitlements.. Most of Obama's deficit are from Bush's policies that Obama has either been forced to continue (tax cuts), the wars, and the recession....



    Bush policies

    http://www.miamiherald.com/20...

    The new budget that President Barack Obama is sending to Congress aims to achieve $4 trillion in deficit reduction over the next decade by restraining government spending and raising taxes on the wealthy..

    Obama's spending blueprint for the budget year that begins Oct. 1 projects a deficit for this year of $1.33 trillion. That would mean four straight years of trillion-dollar-plus deficits.
    The budget will project a decline in the deficit to $901 billion in 2013 and continued improvements shrinking the deficit to $575 billion in 2018.


    The rest of your post is very biased, which is polite for being a lie..

    Even a discussion about the problem is controversial. Really, when the boat is sinking does it really matter who is responsible for the holes and which one made the bigger hole? The fracking country is sinking in a sea of red ink and everyone wants to point fingers. Barack Obama is right, both sides of the isle have enough stink on them to attract flies from South America. Conservatives are right, in that Barack Obama and liberals have spent more money then all the previous Presidents combined. Now that we all agree and have poked the eye of the other guy can we get about the operation of the nation. The United States can not withstand another four years of childish temper tantrums, chest beating, pounding fists with conservative and liberal soap salesmen on radio and TV telling us all what we need to think.
    Major cuts need to be made in social service programs, the pentagon, foreign aide, from departments that have to much duplicity with unlimited credit cards so to speak. Rich, middle and lower class Americans are going to have to pay more in taxes and for services we can no longer afford a free ride for some and the wealthy be able to skirt the law with income manipulation. The United States was born, forged and built to be an exceptional nation and all Americans should hav...

The United States was born, forged and built to be an exceptional nation and all Americans should have skin in this game. How many Chinese, Russians, Europeans and Australians have walked on the moon? We are an exceptional people who get things done when things are there hardest. We have become soft and complacent. Spoiled, Argumentative to our own destruction
    Now, if we as a people and our government as adults can not see that we all need to work together for one common purpose then lets all agree to hang it up and just declare bankruptcy Morally and Fiscally and fade into the world of common nations that follow along as others lead.

    Seems that there is an Agenda and there are those that want to exercise more control and they need to cripple this country so that it has to do something! We shall see soon of Obama will take the Marshal Law option or allow the elections to go and then exercise something! The DEBT and FG and IRS has to be dissolved....Or they would have to fire-up the presses and print us into the german dumpmarc...

    OStupid is a complete dumbass jackass. He has no intention of Balancing the Federal Budget this 2012 Election year. The House and Senate will chop-dice his proposed legislation up and then they will submit their own revised versions for a compromise vote.
