Shell Game

Call it slight of hand. The Obama budget has taken a spending to a whole new level … $3 trillion dollars, and a deficit that makes George Bush and the Republicans look like pikers, $1.3 to $1.7 trillion. So how does he expect to pay for it. He doesn’t. Jim Angle at Fox shows it’s all a shell game. Pay particular attention to defense savings, and projected growth in the economy, supposedly the worst since the great depression. Lies!

    Planning a huge increase in the deficit based on "assumptions?!?!?"   Assumptions are the mother of all screwups, my uncle taught me.

    Is the media printing political currency for Obama faster than the treasury is printing actual dollars?    Both will run out far sooner than any projected assumptions.

    Is it 2010 yet?

    That's a good one, counting as savings money never intended to be spent. Pfft. You've got to be kidding me. We've been hoodwinked and bamboozled. And not only that, we've been lied to.
