We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Plan
While the GOP strangles itself debating the morality of contraceptives, the White House continues to strangle the nation with debt. Here’s Philip Klein:
On Monday, Obama unveiled a budget that added to the debt while using a series of budget gimmicks to claim deficit reduction. And today, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner conceded that the administration didn’t even attempt to do anything about the nation’s long-term debt problem.
Earlier today, he told the Senate Budget Committee that long-term spending would be “unsustainable” even if Obama’s budget was fully adopted. Later, in a separate hearing, he explained to House Budget Committee chairman Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., that the only intention of the Obama budget was to address deficits in the next decade, not to put the nation on a sustainable fiscal path. He also trashed Ryan’s budget, which does actually solve the problem, for putting too much of a burden on seniors to pay for health care.
“We’re not coming before you to say we have a definitive solution to that long-term problem,” Geithner told Ryan. “What we do know is we don’t like yours.”
Later, when DC inflates its debts away and impoverishes the nation, the Democrats will blame the devastation on “greedy bankers” and “the rich.”
If even Turbo Tax Timmy has problems with the budget it has just got to be a stinker by every possible objective and subjective standard! The only people being fooled by this charade the ones who want to be.
Also:
“Ryan’s budget…put[s] too much of a burden on seniors to pay for health care.”
I don’t have the exact figures at my fingertips but I believe more than half of Medicare expenditures go to patients in the last 12 months of life. There is a LOT of savings to be garnered there that will not put “too much of a burden on seniors to pay for health care.”
45 will be reelected unless the pachyderms decide to come up with “a stinkin’ plan”
mitty is talking like an escapee from a fool farm, santorium like a theocrat, and the newt like he never had a clear thought in his head (and I won’t start on the doctor from texas).
as was done in 2008, the RNC acts like it does not want the white house.
I think it’s become clear that the Republican Party is not up to the job of preserving the republic. Like the Whig Party before it, the time has come to abandon the Republican Party and create a new party. It’s that or we’ll need another revolution to reclaim our freedom.
