Today, President Obama is set to take a stab at the United States budget for the second time in two months. After being completely rebuked by the American people this past November, the President rolled out his 2012 budget in February. What was it about? Spending, spending, spending:
Some words from the beginning of the speech:
Obama- Over the past few weeks, I've traveled the country, talking about what we need to do to win the future; talked about the need to invest in innovation so that the next big idea is discovered here in the United States of America. I've talked about the need to invest in high-speed rail and high-speed Internet, so that companies can move goods and information faster than ever. And this week, I'll be talking about the need to invest in education...
By the way, if you don't realize it, "invest" means "spend money on."
I won't pass judgement on these opening statements; I hardly believe that I even have to. But what I will discuss is the President's complete 180 on... well, everything. No longer are we going to "invest" and no longer are we going to "spend money to keep from going bankrupt." All of a sudden that needs to stop.
No longer will we spend $787,000,000,000 for the hell of it. Now we must save, cut, and tax, tax, tax. If there is anything that shows that this President has absolutely no plan what-so-ever, this is it.
President Obama should save us all some time, wet his finger, and put it up in the air to check the wind. You don't even need a teleprompter for that.
