And this is the guy who was so smart that we had to overlook his tax cheating and confirm him as Treasury Secretary because only he was smart enough to get the economy back on track.

The blue bound document that was released this week is officially called a budget. It would be more accurately described as the world's longest suicide note.

Wow - that's gold.

...which Obama and the spendthrifts have decreed is the price for their staying in power.

...unborn debtbots...

totally stealing all that stuff.

I had a retired Army Colonel tell me once, as he stared at his retirement account, that he did not really care whether or not there's anything left for me someday. He just wanted to pay for his kids' college and have enough for himself to retire at 65.

Same with the rest of these clowns...2027? Heck that's at least 3 more terms for Obama from now, then he can do a Putin when things implode.

Somebody give me a really good reason why we're not running Ryan for President. Is the great Republican primary/caucus process being managed by Obama?

There's an article on Drudge where the previous head of the CBO predicts we will hit the debt ceiling sometime in October. Even Geithner is predicting we will hit it before the end of the calendar year.

But it is funny!
I once hired a builder to construct a masonry wall. He arrived drunk on the first day. I kept him on because I felt sorry for him. The wall he built leaned to one side and was unusable. What did I expect?
We hired a guy to run our federal finances who cheated on his taxes and then claimed, in his own defense, he didn't understand the program - A program aimed at the man in the street. Now we're in staggering financial debt. What did we expect?
HA HA HA

If you watch the videos on the House Budget Committee's youtube channel of the exchanges between Ryan and Tax Cheat Tim, you get the feeling that nobody is serious about our debt problem. Sure, I'm happy that Ryan calls Tim and the administration out that their rhetoric has never matched whats in their budgets. But watch this exchange on taxes: External Link 

Taxes are not the biggest problem in the room. Tim say "I think both sides agree that we need to raise tax revenues by 1% of GDP in any kind of tax reform". No we don't. We need to cut government spending by 5% of GDP back down to the 18-19% of GDP we spent in the 90's and early 2000's. Ryan gets roped into the tax debate. I'm sorry, but that's the wrong fight. The leaders in the House need to reign in the purse strings.
