Let me get this straight. Obama is preparing to send a budget to Congress that projects an annual deficit of around $1 trillion each year for the next three years, but since it will supposedly go down to “only” $500 billion his fourth year, that’s deficit reduction? What the hell are these people smoking?!?

And just how does he plan, pray tell, to get the economy moving again when he is planning on socking it to businesses (you know, those people who hire us, employ us, and sign our friggin’ paychecks) and the rich(er) people in the country? Plain and simple, he isn’t planning on getting the economy going again. It’s not what he ran for office to do. He ran for president so he could usher in a liberal’s wet dream, endless misery for everyone and massive socialism for all. Welcome to the new America, comrades.

I said this before some time ago, but it bears repeating: liberals think that anyone who has a job is rich and anyone who doesn’t is poor. There is no in between. They’ve continually redefined how much money it takes to be considered rich and how much it takes to be poor. Each year, they narrow the income spread, squeezing out the middle class until finally there won’t BE a middle class, not by their definition, at least. And that means anyone over “x” amount of income per year, whether or not they are truly wealthy, will begin to see liberal politicians tapping their income and giving it to people like this guy.

Welcome to the 1970s all over again, folks. Tax rates are going to jump through the roof under these clowns, our military will be cut to the bone, and we’ll be spending money faster than a horny college student at a strip club. By the time these guys are through, the entire world is going to be laughing their collective asses off at us. And yes, that includes al Qaeda, who will probably pause between guffaws to send some WMDs our way.

Monday morning update: Yet another article trying to spin what Obama’s budget is about:

The president will host a “fiscal responsibility summit” at the White House on Monday and will give a prime-time speech to Congress on Tuesday before unveiling a budget overview Thursday.

White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki confirmed that the administration pegs the current deficit at $1.3 trillion, or 9.2% of the overall economy, and projects that in four years the deficit will be down to $533 billion, or 3% of the economy as measured by the gross domestic product.

“The budget will cut the deficit that the president inherited upon assuming office at least in half by the end of his first term,” said Kenneth Baer, a spokesman for the Office of Management and Budget.

Obama’s 2010 budget includes plans for defense cuts — including a rollback of the Iraq war — and ending the Bush administration’s high-income tax cuts, the Associated Press reported Sunday.

If they spin any faster, we’ll go back in time or something.

First of all, the deficit “inherited” by Obama was mainly of his own party’s making. The Democrats in Congress passed several bailout/spending bills that Bush, had he more time in office, probably wouldn’t have signed as they were (I’ve no evidence of that, but I’m fairly certain he would have asked for Congress to make some changes). So a large portion — but certainly not all — of the current deficit was Democrat spending.

Second of all, he just passed the largest pork spending bill in the history of the world. That’s going to add a lot to the deficit right there, and it has nothing to do with Bush other than a poor economy (which the left also blames on Bush).

Finally, it’s not deficit reduction when you have three years of trillion dollar deficits and then one year that’s only half as much in the red. The deficit is still going up, for chrissakes! You can call it any number of things, but a “reduction” is not one of them. Calling this a “deficit reduction” would be like me going on an eating binge for four years and then saying I had a weight reduction because I gained ten pounds each year for three years, and then the fourth year I only gained five. I still would have gained 35 pounds!

And the media gives him a free pass on this! If this was Bush, you better believe they’d be pointing this crap out.
