Everyone knows it won't pass. It's a disgustingly irresponsible act to try to push tax increases of $1.9 trillion, union increases, add over $3 trillion in national debt, increase federal spending by half a trillion dollars over the next four years, and enlarge the useless Department of Education.
And Obama's 2013 budget assumes federal revenues will increase by 17.5%.
He wants to give $800 million to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and LIbya.
His director of the Office of Management and Budget lied on television about Republicans filibustering the budget, media sources (even supposedly reliable ones) picked up the lie and ran with it. A budget resolution needs only 51 votes to pass and cannot be filibustered.
When legislators who are trying to resemble facsimiles of fiscally responsible stewards of taxpayer money, Obama will fly around the country decrying the mean old Republicans who wouldn't pass his budget, even though Harry Reid hasn't passed a budget since Obama's in office and even though Obama's last budget was voted down 97-0 last May.
But now, right on cue, the shameless Emanuel Cleaver who might as well scream in front of cameras "I got cher back, Bam!" has made a public pronouncement that the recklessly irresponsible budget just may go too far in cutting.
The "cuts" are imaginary. Pretend. They'll never happen.
And the "cuts" are in the rate of growth, not the budget.
And yet the Obamanauts are out there, claiming, "Ooo, this will be so harsh we can hardly tolerate it!" to create a set point that will make Obama's budget look moderate, somewhere in between drastic and excessive.
The Hill:
"This budget is a nervous breakdown on paper," said Cleaver during an interview on CNN's "Starting Point" Monday morning. "We're still in a recession, we're still struggling. Unemployment is still too high," he said.
The Missouri lawmaker said he understood the need for Congress to rein in spending. "We do have a serious ailment as a nation and certainly as Congress," he said. "We suffer from 'spendicitis.' " But Cleaver said the president was not "the one who spread this disease" and had inherited those problems when he came to office.
The Sacramento Bee, reveals that Bread for the World approves of the disastrous expenditures of this budget.
/PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --Bread for the World is pleased that President Obama's fiscal year 2013 budget proposal presents a fairly balanced approach to deficit reduction. The budget also protects important programs for hungry and poor people, creates jobs, and promotes economic mobility.Fairly balanced approach?
Perhaps Bread for the World isn't familiar with deficit spending.
Remember last year's budget lost on a unanimous vote in the Senate. I doubt if this one gets much further.
