...and you thought President Bush was a spender. President Obama is going to make him look like a tight wad. Our great-great grandchildren will be paying for this.
17 Trillion dollar budget!!!
House Passes $3.4 Trillion Budget, Boosting Obama's Agenda
President Obama's Democratic allies in the House have passed a $3.4 trillion budget outline that will help him pass health care reform later in the year.

Acting with unusual speed, the House on Wednesday adopted a $3.4 trillion budget outline that endorses much of President Barack Obama's ambitious agenda while permitting the national debt to continue to spiral higher.
While a welcome victory for Democrats, the 233-193 House vote approving the House-Senate compromise budget is only a first, relatively easy step toward Obama's goal of providing health care coverage for all Americans. Next would come arduous negotiations among lawmakers, the Obama administration and a vast array of interest groups.
Not a single Republican voted for the measure; 17 Democrats, mostly from GOP-leaning districts, voted against it.
The Senate will vote on the measure Wednesday afternoon.
With the economy in recession and the bailout of the financial sector costing hundreds of billions of dollars, deficits would rocket to $1.7 trillion for the ongoing budget year, dipping to a still-astonishing $1.2 trillion in 2010. The national debt would rise from today's $11.2 trillion level to $17 trillion at the end of 2014.
"The same Democrats who were outraged over a $455 billion deficit last year came to us this year with a budget that would lead to trillion dollar deficits," said Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.

gee and how do you turn a surplus into a deficit? ask a Republican who launches TWO Wars and cut taxes at the same time and blew a SURPLUS Clinton left us! The G-NO-P would coddle to the Communist Chinese for their perpetual wars than deal with Libs in on deficit spending.
Go ahead with your lunacy and by the way Dumbya spent a little less on his budget by keeping the true cost off the Wars of the budget!

Keep on looking at the past and not what "The" Obama is doing now.
He's spending like a kid in a candy store with deep pockets.

Clinton did NOT have a surplus, he simply began to borrow against the Social Security fund. Dont let facts though stand in your way of a good rant though, even if its wrong..
All of the facts and figures are there regardless of how the libs want to spin it.
Back to your regularly scheduled programming. Obama is spending more than we have. That is a recipe for disaster.
Its almost funny to see liberals, who claim that Clinton was wonderful because he had an imaginary surplus, now claim Obama is wonderful for having real record breaking deficits.
Obama is the worst President to date. He is under Pelosi's thumb.
Cap and trade is horse crap. National health care ( actally making health care worse ) is horse crap. Continual spending & bailouts ... horse crap.
Apologizing to dictators ... horse crap. Appointing Sebelius and Napolitano ... horse crap.
Democrats think that life can be about rainbows and unicorns. Democrats evade reality. They even make their kids wear helmets when they ride thier bikes. Just another social activism. And they believe in it. Please don't hurt sea kittens. Who the hell teaches their children that fish are sea kittens? Oh yeah, Democrats.
I think the Democrats are doing quite well on the budget, the debt and rescuing our economy from the neocon black hole it nearly fell into. When the ceconomy recovers enough wealth will be generated and retained to pay off the debt but we Democrats have at least 40 years to accomplish the task.
Yooperkat is an expert on horse crap because he generates so much of it.
