Andrew Stiles over at NRO’s The Corner gives us the main points:
…$46 trillion — total spending over the next decade.
$8.7 trillion — total new spending over the same period…
The bottom line about Obama’s “cuts” is that for each of the next ten years, the federal government will spend more than the previous year. Pardon me for pointing out the obvious – if you cut spending, it means you spend less than you did before. Obama’s budget doesn’t even cut so much as a dollar – and yet he gets up there and flat out lies to us that there will be steep cuts. This is what we get when we dare to elect politicians like Obama: he has nothing but contempt for us and presumes that we won’t notice he’s full of bull feces.
Well, maybe once upon a time Obama would have been right about that – but not any more. I think we’re wide awake now, and people are swiftly seeing through this scam of a budget proposal (even some Obama cheerleaders are noticing the stench of dishonesty). The times have changed – and we, the people, have changed. If Obama viewed this budget as the platform for his 2012 re-election effort it will prove, instead, the final nail in his political coffin.
We must slice and dice this budget – hold it up for the ridicule it deserves and explain endlessly how we’ll never get out of this mess while someone like Obama is running the show. The man can’t be trusted – he has proven himself, at last and forever, a dishonest, cretinous politician on the make with this budget. He had his chance – he could have come out with a budget which actually offered some cuts, even if they were symbolic in nature. All Obama offered us was money being moved around and then some hocus-pocus about “cuts” which are non-existent.
And now it is our turn – our turn to tell the truth, offer real cuts and win the confidence of the American people.
UPDATE: Also from NRO’s The Corner, Rep. Ryan’s reaction to Obama’s budget: “debt on arrival”.
