Obama’s Budget borrow 46 cents for every $ it spends
By | Tuesday, May 12th, 2009 | Policy

I now understand why Obama wants protections for people who pile up credit card balances.

Hope and Change has become Hike spending and Charge it.

Just months after saying he’d cut the budget deficit in half, now Obama wants to finance half the budget. Well, I guess if you just keep saying the word “half” you can say you kept your promise.

Democrats run the White House, the House and the Senate. Polling also shows that Obama’s public approval in handling the deficit dipped below 50%.

Either Americans are now learning how little change they can hope for, or their getting sticker shock from the cost and the small print that didn’t quite make it into “The Chosen One’s” campaign sermons.

    Obama budget is failure by design. Why?

    He is acting too much like a Republican. I hope he starts listening to the Blue Dog Ds soon.
