Obama Suddenly a Budget Hawk, Will Raise Taxes

Courtesy of Darrell, this video should be mandatory viewing for every government school student every year and every voter before any election.

 

In a new Harris poll, Americans named President Obama as their #1 hero, beating Jesus Christ.

 

President Obama is bailing out state and local governments with your money, but he hasn't paid the bills for election events in Chicago or Philadelphia.

 

Obama's plans are already more expensive than the New Deal.  Despite trillions of dollars in new spending, Obama now wants to cut the budget deficit back to pre-bailout levels by raising taxes on the evil, horrible, greedy rich.

 

The Obama Administration isn't very happy about Rick Santelli's rant last week about the latest housing plan, but Santelli is sticking to his guns and going right back after Obama's press secretary, Robert Gibbs.

 

President Obama has scratched the idea of taxing drivers by the mile instead of with gas taxes.

 

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton went to China to beg them to please keep buying our debt.

 

The Boston Globe is glorifying being unemployed.

 

A few Republican Governors, including Sonny Perdue, might reject some of the "stimulus" funds because of the new rules and regulations attached to them.  This huge spending bill will also give government a chance to "prove it can work."  The "tax cuts" in the bill will begin April 1, and $15 billion in Medicaid money will be paid on Wednesday, under the guidance of Vice President Joe Biden.

 

Seventy-three percent of Americans say that they're scared about the way things are going in the United States.  Hope and Change, people.

 

With the "stimulus" package passed, now the Democrats are likely to railroad through the omnibus spending bill to fund the rest of the federal government.

 

Obama's plan to modify loans has already been tried—and over half of the borrowers re-defaulted on their mortgages.

 

Check out how the House's T-SPLOST bill got porked up.

 

Due to the "stimulus" money coming to Georgia, Governor Perdue will probably drop the idea of taxing hospitals and health insurance companies to pay for Medicaid.

 

Local politicians are not very happy about the meddling that the state is trying to do in their budgets.
