Like his last budget that was soundly defeated in Congress on a bipartisan basis, this one is DOA. Whilst he repeats the mistakes of FDR by raising taxes in the midst of an economic downturn while gutting the military and homeland security and increasing the budgets of the worthless and destructive federal agencies like education, energy and labor.
Some highlights.....or lowlights if you actually love this country.
1. It will add $3T more to the national debt (in addition to the $5.5T he has already added)
2. Federal spending increases by half a trillion over the next four years
3. Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and Obamacare will consume 18% of our gross domestic product in the next few decades.
4. Basically ignores almost every proposal by his own deficit commission.
It is obvious he is not serious about anything resembling fiscal sanity and even Dems in Congress, with the exception of the notable looney left wing nut libtards and the one socialist, will reject this abject nonsense.

This will go like his last budget ... 0-97 in the senate. even dems are not supporting it again. It is a joke ... just like Obama .... but it is scary that this really puts us on a path to further downgrades. Entitlements are already 64% of government spending and under Oblamers budget they grow to 78% ... even with his tax increases that the budget office said would destroy job growth.
This is the leader of the United States ... total disregard for the deficit and growing it further. It really puts us on a path of destroying the US the the government nationalizing banks and businesses ... ie: socialism.
How anyone with even a half a brain can't see this is beyond me.
Now I know jellyfish supports Obama and 4 more years ... I guess he does not have a half a brain ... but I would love to hear how he thinks this is the right path. But I know, just as always, he can not and will not stand up like a man and say why he supports that dope.
