Does Obama Really Want to Avert Sequester?

Another month, another deadline, another crisis in Obama World. If it's not the Fiscal Cliff, it's the debt ceiling.  If it's not the debt ceiling, it's trying to avert a March 1 deadline for automatic across-the-board spending cuts.  If Sequester does occur, then there will be an immediate $85 billion cut in government services.  Obama Zombies tell us federal agents would be immediately furloughed, police and firemen will not be paid and, of course, schoolteachers will not be paid.  Obama says people will lose their jobs and unemployment will start to rise.  Funny, he just now wants to address jobs and the economy when a manufactured crisis occurs.  Ordinarily, Obama is trying to get citizenship and jobs for illegal aliens.  That appears to be his top priority right now.

 Again, Obama and the Democrats bring up their strawman of the wealthiest Americans not being fairly taxed enough.  How often have we seen this movie from the Democrats?  It always has the same ending.  Republicans, for their part, propose spending cuts, changes in the tax code.  Republicans continue to reiterate they would overhaul the tax system to reduce rates, not to raise revenue.   In Democratic language, "revenue" is increasing your taxes.  Republicans are cowards, as I have said before on this blog.  But, Democrats are too cowardly to just tell you upfront they want to raise your taxes.  They see visions of Walter Mondale when they start talking about raising your taxes.  It seems odd Obama wants to do something about the debt by "increasing revenue."  He and the Democrats have never shown any concern for our rising national debt.

Republicans are telling people to be prepared for massive spending cuts due to the Sequester in a couple of weeks.  Democrats seemingly are full of themselves and are not concerned about what is about to happen.  They want to increase your taxes without really saying it.  Republicans are saying taxes are off the table.  But, I tend to believe Republicans will cave-in to a degree and claim victory.  So, will the Democrats.  You see, neither party gives a damn about you or I.  They care about making themselves look good to the public.  They care about being reelected.  Nothing else really matters to politicians. That goes for both Democrats and Republicans equally.

Obama: No Spending Problem

In the South, we have an old saying.  "There are two kinds of stupid in this world.  One is when you start barking at the moon and make a fool of yourself.  The second is when you do that in my living room.  I can look over the first, but the second I have to take personal."  Or something to that effect.  I'm not sure which of the above describes President Obama.  For him to state, categorically, that federal spending is not the cause of the massive $16 trillion debt is beyond any logic, by any definition.  He obviously doesn't read warnings sent to him from his own agencies or advisers.   Obama's own debt commission has warned him that spending is the force that is causing the debt.  His own debt commission!!!  They are warning him to cut spending and he is ignoring them!  But, this is the man that says there is no spending problem?  President Obama is the problem.   He is like a kid in a candy shop, but only has $1.00 to spend.  He has these grandiose plans for the ultimate utopian society where everything is free and everyone is equal.  That means no rich, no poor and, yes, no middle class.  That is the Socialist dream.  Unfortunately, like so many things in the Socialist thought process, it is not feasible or possible.

This just goes on to show how delusional a President we have now.  He is reckless and out of touch with reality.  We are broke.  BROKE.  But, we have a President who simply does not realize it or does not care.  I'm not sure which it is or maybe it's both.  Anyone with common sense could recognize our revenues are not matching our spending.  Every household in the USA has to have some kind of budget.  If I spend more than I take in each month, I will be out in the street.  Why doesn't the federal government feel it is under the same restraints? President Obama ignores his own advisers, his own debt reporting agencies.  The only person Obama listens to is, of course, that HUGE Obama ego.  President Obama thinks he is the smartest person on earth, no doubt fueled by the idiots that voted for him twice to be the Vacationer in Chief.  No spending problem, Mr President?  We have a lack of leadership problem, Mr. President.  The buck stops with YOU!
