That means the Republicans' ideology of cutting spending instead of raising taxes is at odds with Obama's plans to raise taxes to fund all of these programs. <br /><br /><br />GAO: "Absent policy changes." In Obama's world, that means, "Increase revenues," or (in human speak), raise taxes.<br /><br /><br />CBO: A "growing imbalance between revenues and non-interest spending." "Major changes in current policies." In Obama's world, those things both mean "increasing revenues." Or, as we say in the land of normal human speech, raising taxes.<br /><br /><br />Public Trustees of Medicare and SS: <i>"Under current law, both of these vitally important programs are on unsustainable paths."<br /></i><br /><br />"Under current law." Do I need to repeat myself?<br /><br /><br />Gubmint economists: "Serious budget repairs." You really think Obama would ever interpret that as "cutting spending?" Of course not. In Obama's world, this means "increasing revenues," or, as people who don't use Orwellian Newspeak would say, raising taxes.<br /><br /><br />Mary Meeker: "Entitlement reform." We all know what THAT means in leftwing circles. It means raising taxes. EVERYTHING means raising taxes to the left. And Ms. Meeker here even lays it out for them. "(In the next 15 years), (Entitlements) plus net interest expenses will absorb all of ... [federal] annual revenue."<br /><br />Well, we know how the left would plan to fix the revenue gap. <br /><br />Obama isn't lying here. He's simply expressing his profound stupidity. In his very stupid opinion, all of these dire forecasts of impending economic DOOOOOM could be laid to rest if those daggum Republicans in Washington would quit caterwauling every time he tries to "make the rich pay their fair share." When they stonewall like that it means the government is robbed of "vital revenue" that would, in Obama's puny pea brain, be sufficient to fund every entitlement expense, every public aid program, and every bleeding heart discretionary program across the board.<br /><br />So you see? It's ideological. The Republicans (allegedly) are the party of low taxes and low spending. The Democrats are the party of high taxes and high spending. In Obama's distorted and ludicrously idiotic worldview, if they can just get the meanie Republicans out of the way and institute an even MORE topheavy federal gubmint, then voila! The economy will explode with new jobs, innovation, fresh blood, and will keep chugging along like a well-oiled machine for the next hundred years.<br /><br />Because Obama is a clodpated imbecile with the intellectual capacity of a mollusk.MWRnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-53206273872580563252013-08-26T07:44:18.278-04:002013-08-26T07:44:18.278-04:00Obama is not lying.
