How dare Obama say a word against the spending of the Bush administration to fight the war against Islamic terrorism in Iraq.  How dare he.  What gives with this President? 

As a candidate for president, Barack Obama decried the financial toll that the Iraq war was taking on the economy, but Obama’s proposed spending on welfare through 2010 will eclipse Bush’s war spending by more than $260 billion.  CNSNews.com

Just that stimulus package ($787 billion) of last year was financially larger than the war in Iraq ($622 billion).  The federal debt is now at the $12.3 trillion mark, climbing at a rate of $3.8 billion per day.  Each one of us (307 million) is responsible for $10 per day as the feds increase the debt to a strangle hold on future generations of Americans. 

You would think that as huge as the federal government is (2 million employees), that they could find a way to save $10 a day for each of us taxpayers. 

Printing of Obama’s upcoming budget will require 300 Government Printing Office employees to work around the clock to produce the document.

• The budget itself will run 186 pages. The full four-volume set, including the appendix, analytical perspectives and historical tables, totals 2,450 pages.

• GPO will produce 30,968 total copies of the four volumes.   The Federal Eye

Then, who’s going to read it?  Who’s going to translate it to the heads of the agencies?  Will anyone really abide by it?

Back when Obama was a senator he did not use a teleprompter to read what an aide wrote, so it was Obama as himself.

“Because of the Bush-McCain policies, our debt has ballooned,” then-Sen. Barack Obama told a Charleston, W.V., crowd in March 2008. “This is creating problems in our fragile economy. And that kind of debt also places an unfair burden on our children and grandchildren, who will have to repay it.”

We don’t really need representatives anymore as the federal agencies, including the Executive office and Congress run on their own inertia, spending money like there is no tomorrow, like the
Biblical end of time is coming tomorrow.
