I ran across this hilarious line at Barack Obama’s web page: “Obama and Biden believe that a critical step in restoring fiscal discipline is enforcing pay-as-you-go (PAYGO) budgeting rules which require new spending commitments or tax changes to be paid for by cuts to other programs or new revenue.”
I guess I didn’t realize that the new trillion-dollar “stimulus” package will be covered by cuts in other programs. Or, Obama is a damned liar, one of the two.
We’re now operating on the spend-as-you-go (SAYGO) paradigm, otherwise known as the seat-of-your-pants approach (SOYP), or the special-interest-welfare-expansion program (SIWEX).
We have seen numerous examples of Mr. Obama’s say one thing and do the opposite, i.e. no lobbyists, then immediately make exceptions as in the #2 at Treasury and Defense. Transparency, as in allow for a few days for a bill to be reviewed before its voted upon, except we must pass a trillion dollar spending bill today or the economy will implode tomorrow. Didn’t we see this kind if irresponsible behaviour with the TARP bill?????
Here’s another Obama smokescreen…”abortions should be rare”…while opening every door around the world to making abortions less rare than they’ve ever been before…including forcing ALL Americans to pay for shedding MORE innocent blood not just here but in other countries.
