President Obama’s budget released on Monday proposes to spend $3.73 trillion for 2012. He can’t say Bush made him do that. That proposed spending is an undeniable fact that reveals who he is, which he successfully hid from 53% of voters in 2008.
Campaigning in 2008 he promised voters that his plan involved a “net spending cut.” That net spending cut translated into $836 billion in increased spending this year from 2008, according to President Obama’s own budget documents. That is a federal spending increase of nearly 30% since 2008. Either President Obama does not know what “net spending cut” means in English, or he bamboozled a lot of people in 2008.
Almost makes you want to take to the streets to demand resignations and honest elections. But that couldn’t happen here. For one thing, you need a free and independent press to have true democratic elections.
