Awesome find, dfarr. as usual.

I posted that earlier.


This pretty much sums up 95% of why I do not like Obama or believe in him.

Quote:We're back now. And just watch the Great Obama perform a feat never yet managed in all history. He will create that enormous new government health program, spend billions to transform our energy economy, provide financial assistance to former Soviet satellites, invest in infrastructure, increase education spending, provide job training assistance, and give 95% of Americans a tax (ahem) cut -- all without raising the deficit a single penny! And he'll do it in the middle of a financial crisis. And with falling tax revenues! Voila!

Yup. And McCain's going to do all the stuff on his agenda while extending the Bush tax cuts, cut taxes some more, and pay for it by cutting thirteen billion in pork. Oh, and the trillions we're spending won't affect either of their economic programs.

bull****. We're spending money by the bucket full, hell, by the 55 gallong drum full. The only way we have a hope of regaining any shred of fiscal sanity is by cutting spending and increasing taxes.

Why is it that everyone understands that they can't spend more than they take in and live on credit cards with regard to their personal budget but thinks the government can? If you continue to spend more than you take in eventually you crater.

I'm not talking about McCain. Obama's whole platform has been built on "change" and "eliminating government spending" and "balanced budgets" and "goverment healthcare" and "taxes" and all of that. Sum it all up and you get 2 + 2 = 5

He's a mile wide and an inch deep. If he wasn't a talented speaker then most people would see through his crap. He is not the change we need. Not saying McCain necessarily is, but he's the lesser of two evils in this election and I'll put my money on experience versus the guy who sounds good talking.

ANY President from ANY party can propose a balanced budget any year. The problem is the same one that Alabama (and locally-Jeffco) has this coming spring legislative session. What funding to cut and by how much and for how long. What programs to eliminate entirely or diminish or "stretch out" for years. Each program has people who regard them as essential and the next guy calls it "pork". Republicans usually attack social spending while demanding virtually unlimited military appropriations. Democrats usually want more social supportive spending while questioning much military spending. (The I-35W bridge was slated for replacement in 2015, but jumped (or fell) to the front of the line and has been built and opened to traffic already while a bridge to link the Ketchikan, AK airport to the main city center (eliminating a ferry ride) has become the "poster child" for "pork" spending)

"Read my lips" = All politicians
