Barack Obama's Budget Is Even Worse Than It Looks

I simply do not, cannot, understand why anyone would even consider voting for Obama again. I just don't understand why people cannot connect the dots.
We look at California, we see how well that's working. We look at Chicago. We look at Greece. (if I didn't know better, I'd think Obama was was following Greece's blueprint, since he's taking the very same steps)
It is absolutely no wonder that so many are upset at so much government intervention. They're absolutely incompetent with taxpayer dollars, as well as corrupt and wasteful. (crony capitalism is not real capitalism)
Cut, cap, and balance. Ditch the tax code, enact the Fair Tax, HR 25. Reform entitlements, Social Security, and Medicare. We have to. There is no alternative.

His budget is a political ploy and a meaningless formality. He needs no budget since he has the vast unchecked power of the various agencies to whom Congress has given such vaguely expressed authority as to permit an unscrupulous Gangsta President carte blanche to do nearly anything, budget or no, Constitution or no.

Math is clearly racist.

We are Federales, and "progressives" too.
Budgets? Budgets?
We don't need no stinking budgets!

I like what Alan Greenspan said about the budget deficit and the USA debt: "Spend all you like. We'll print more." Sounds like a Doritos ad.

The way to neuter the US world influence is to reduce the size of the US military. The President's budget buster has as a target the military. However the real damage will come not by current cuts but during future administrations left with such high deficits that future military spending will be reduced to nothing. The Plan, bust the bank and the military in years ahead hill feel the cleaver.

I have never seen anyone that is not mature enough to be accountable or "own" any of his actions or words. What a poor excuse for a person or a president.

@ Rueben Scott
GM recorded record profits because as part of their deal with Obama for a buyout they don't have to pay taxes for 10 years and its all lies that the MSM reports to make him look good.
And your argument about Obama's budget is ridiculous. In your personal life do you spend more than you make?
Typical Liberal, you scream propaganda but don't have facts.

With all of the anti-Obama vitriol, you'd think the GOP would have a plausible alternative to run against Obama in November! Instead they have a cast of deeply flawed, comedy characters who prefer to talk about contracetion, gay marriage, religious-freedom.... rather than what they would do to turn this economy around with reasonable budget and deficit policies.
No one is more disappointed than the unemployed Independent.

Going on 4 years of Obama and all he has is a budget to utter failure and the collapse of our economy. Endless massive corrupt spending, more Solyndras, more Ener1s, endless taxpayer dollars flowing to political donors and public employee unions. Even Obama's own party knows his budget is an utter disaster and calmity for our nation, and they won't even vote on it. Obama is the worst President in our history. He doesn't solve problems, he just makes them worse. Obama's transformation of our nation will mean economic collapse and riots in the streets like Greece.
