CBO: Obama's Budget Is All Tax And Spend And Rising Debt - Investors.com
(Most) elected officials are just plain full of "it".
That being said, they do know that a good portion of us don't pay attention, so they can say and do as they please...
That being said, they do know that a good portion of us don't pay attention, so they can say and do as they please...
This is the opening of a recent Investors.com editorial. And there's even more:
"Remember President Obama's vow that, if re-elected, he'd pursue 'balanced' deficit reduction? Either he forgot, or he hopes voters have, because a new report shows his latest budget is entirely unbalanced. When Obama released his budget this March, he said it included 'smart spending cuts' and closed 'tax loopholes' that benefit only 'the wealthiest Americans.'
Obama added that his budget would put 'our debt on a downward path as a share of our total economy, which independent experts have set as a critical target for fiscal responsibility.'
As with just about everything Obama says, none of these claims turns out be true. When the Congressional Budget Office scrubbed Obama's budget, it didn't find a balanced or responsible plan at all."
