Obama’s “balanced approach” to budget … Don’t bother balancing it

Have we ever seen the release of a proposed federal budget from the Executive Branch that looks forward to a point where the budget always runs a deficit and is never balanced?

    LOL – the shame of it all.

    Democrats only know how to spend, spend, spend and spend some more. To accomplish this, they will try every trick, slight of hand, or lie to cover their spending. One could interpret this as blatant vote buying. Everything that the Democrats do is geared to enhancing their voter base.
    Facts exist only to be manipulated to their advantage. Truth is subjective to their cause de jour. Democrat reality is equivocation with a heavy application of smoke and mirrors. It must be maddening to be a Democrat, unable to answer a simple question without sounding like a prepared statement, unable to make a coherent, rational statement without sounding like a spokesman for the collective. No wonder so many people from this Regime have left!
    Democrats are the embodiment of the Borg here on Earth. You will be assimilated.

    The doctor that did the lobotomy on that ?bama guy did a superb job; I can’t even see a scar.? Too bad that he couldn’t understand the questions.? A perfect representative for this administration.

    ?
    Zombies!! I would love to see this guy answer the question to one of the afternoon judges on television .

      Judge Judy would bang her pen on the table and say,”HEY, This is my playpen. Just answer the question.”? Too bad we got these guys.

    Since the per capita debt in the US is of the order of $48,000, the Federal deficit may just be another reflection of how this country “operates”. The credit card debt per household was of the order $15,000 a couple of years ago.

      A) not my household
      B) As individuals, we can’t ask the Chinese to pick up our personal tab or pass it on to future generations.? We have to pay it ourselves, which the pols do not.

      Not in my household, that makes 3.? Rep. Garrett slices and dices this Budget Director in more than one instance. As a matter of fact. he actually makes him use a term that may bring down Obamacare in another segment of the testimony. Go Garrett!

    Not my household either, so that makes two out of 90 million? If we were individuals with debt, we could file for bankruptcy and some one would pick up the tab (or our children could pay off the debt).



    • Dimsdale on February 16, 2012 at 10:40 pm

      Well, if we can do it, anyone can.? As for the other options, that is where self respect comes in, and I guess we are at least two out of 90 million!

    Typical pastry-eating Democrat hack, refusing to answer the question.?

    To paraphrase Fire Sign Theater, “If you don’t know the question, we’re going to gag you.”
    “What question?”?
    “Gag him!”It’s fun to seem hacks like this guy squirm under questioning. That is until I remember that he is a representative of the government.
    SAD

    He reminds me of the Komen woman that Jim interviewed a couple of weeks ago…just keep repeating the party line and avoid ever answering the actual question.? Sad thing is that so many Obama lovahs will sit there and spit out, “Obama has a budget plan!!!”? The dude hasn’t had a budget in nearly 4 years…problem is that probably 99% of his supporters don’t live within a budget, either, and so they will continue to support him and his lack of fiscal responsibility.? Vive la b.s.
