REVIEW & OUTLOOK
APRIL 14, 2011
The Presidential Divider
Obama’s toxic speech and even worse plan for deficits and debt.
*** begin quote ***
Did someone move the 2012 election to June 1? We ask because President Obama’s extraordinary response to Paul Ryan’s budget yesterday—with its blistering partisanship and multiple distortions—was the kind Presidents usually outsource to some junior lieutenant. Mr. Obama’s fundamentally political document would have been unusual even for a Vice President in the fervor of a campaign.
The immediate political goal was to inoculate the White House from criticism that it is not serious about the fiscal crisis, after ignoring its own deficit commission last year and tossing off a $3.73 trillion budget in February that increased spending amid a record deficit of $1.65 trillion. Mr. Obama was chased to George Washington University yesterday because Mr. Ryan and the Republicans outflanked him on fiscal discipline and are now setting the national political agenda.

Argh!
Politicians and bureaucrats all lie. When their lips move.
The budget commission’s report was not perfect. Taxes ARE theft. And, these political games are stealing from our posterity. The last generation was misnamed “The Greatest Generation”. (I say misnamed because they started us down the road to ‘borrow and spend’ with an added expansion of European Social Spending and Militarism.) What will this generation be called “The Borrowed Us Into The Poor House” generation?
