President Obama: “My Goal Is Not A Balanced Budget”…

Ohhh, now there’s a surprise…. Let’s see, when was the last budget signed into law?  Oh yeah, September of 2007 by George W Bush….  Since then, not one single day of Obama’s presidency has been while the Federal government had a budget restriction. 

Not.One.Day.

obama_delivers budget_WASHINGTON DC – President Obama’s plans won’t balance the federal budget in the coming decade, he said Tuesday, stressing that his top priority is growing the economy and not a balanced budget.

“My goal is not to chase a balanced budget just for the sake of balance. My goal is how do we grow the economy, put people back to work, and if we do that we are going to be bringing in more revenue,” he said in an interview with ABC News’s George Stephanopoulos.

Obama said he’s opposed to House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan’s budget plan released Tuesday, which would balance the budget in a decade. (more…)

[GWP] Obama scaled back spending on White House tours and tuition for US soldiers and Marines. …But the White House is already planning a big bash for Michelle Obama’s birthday. The Daily Mail reported:

Having picked up an Oscar, Adele might have thought her incredible US adventure couldn’t get much better.

Intentional Manufactured Optics – White House Cancels Public Tours, Claims Due To Sequester

The “Buildup” Continues: Dept. of Homeland Security Purchases 2,700 MRAPs (Mine Resistant Armor Protected Vehicles) For Domestic Use…

Some may ignore – But we ask the same questions again, and again.   Why do they need these?   – This is beyond Creepy – Who is the DHS going to war against? 

The Federal Government ordered almost 2 billion rounds of ammunition.   They ordered targets looking like average armed citizens.  They are conducting military style exercises in urban areas.  North Carolina police say they are practicing for martial law.  

Now this…… 

Via Modern Survival Blog – The Department of Homeland Security (through the U.S. Army Forces Command) recently retrofitted 2,717 of these ‘Mine Resistant Protected’ vehicles for service on the streets of the United States.

Although I’ve seen and read several online blurbs about this vehicle of late, I decided to dig slightly deeper and discover more about the vehicle itself. (more…)

Rut Roh’ Treehugger Fail – State Dept Concludes Keystone XL Pipeline Will Not Harm Environment

Daryl Hannah must be seriously wounded

“[T]he draft Supplemental EIS concludes that approval or denial of the proposed Project is unlikely to have a substantial impact on the rate of development in the oil sands, or on the amount of heavy crude oil refined in the Gulf Coast area,” the State Department draft report says, as Think Progress noted.

Demconomy – Harry Reid Fails Again… While Dear Leader Says He’ll Again Miss Timeline On Legally Required Budget…

And the media…..  (((crickets))) 

Let me tell you what the “real” long, and short-term, goal of the Fabian Socialist progressives is.   The economy, right now, is naturally about to seriously contract.   All of the signs are there:   Wal-Mart is reporting massive drops in same store sales, restaurants are reporting the same, durable goods orders are the lowest in decades, Obamacare is forcing restructuring and lay-offs of small and medium-sized business payrolls.  Etc…. etc.

All of the KPI indicators, including the revised 3rd and 4th qtr GDP numbers point to a new recession – it just has not been quantified yet.   But.It.Is.Here.    

This is known to economists and the White House.  What President Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are doing is creating an argument to deflect attention from their failed economic policy – They are going to use the faux sequester impact to deflect away, and explain, their new recession.    That is the current strategy and the overarching goal;  Avoidance for the consequences of their creation.  Make it look like it’s the other guys fault.   (more…)

How Dare You Question Dear Leader – The Sequester Will Mean The End Of The World Because teh Won Sez So…

What happens when you blend the DNA of a Prog, a petri dish of rabid leftist drool, the ink stained latte’ cups from a complicit-water carrying media, a screaming chicken little, and a boy child affirmative action community organizer -turned Potus- addicted to spending on his social welfare programs and elitist rich pals via crony capitalism?

You get this….

See how desperate they have gotten here.

Yet, anyone who questions the insufferable and profoundly silly claims of the end of the world gets this: (more…)
