Obama want to start to cut back because of the sequester. Great but lets help the Mofo.

How about telling your wife and kids there no vacation or field trip this next 4 years. Many other American families have had to make this cut why not Obama’s. Reminder that Obama's four vacations to Hawaii since becoming top Community Organizer cost taxpayers in excess of $20 million.

Second tell Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi that Kerry was delusional and 250 million is off the table now.

Please provide some of your suggestion to the Obama Administration for spending cuts that can be made because of the sequester.

Eliminate the supposed 'one-time' expenditures for TARP and Stimulus - each were roughly $1 trillion, and supposedly for just one year. Doing so returns us directly to $2.7 trillion in spending (our pre-crash level), and which is now equal to revenue.



So simple, even a 3rd grader can do it.

What's hilarious is even the evil Prince of Austerity Paul Ryan is struggling to come up with a budget that balances in 10 years. Myself and many others could do it reasonably and comfortably in 5.

The mindset in Washington is just so broken. There's no value created in being a clearing house for transfer payments, it's actually a negative value because of inefficiency and paying a middle man.

Can someone please explain how the extra TRILLION for Tarp in '09 and the Stimulus in '10, has not gone away in subsequent years?


That is the only question that needs to be answered. Because once we eliminate those supposed ONE-TIME expenditures we go right to a balanced budget based on our current $2.7 trillions revenues.

I'm not sure, but I believe it became part of the baseline budgets in the continuing resolutions. Might be why the Senate has not passed a budget in 4 years.

Obviously it somehow DID become part of ongoing spending. And, conveniently, because of those numbers in Obama's first year or two, his apologists use those to push the ridiculous claim that he's cutting spending and reducing the deficit. Those were supposed to be one-time extraordinary expenditures and shouldn't be part of the discussion on how "little" Obama has increased spending.

Another Obama Clan Vacation Planned the last 3 cost 20 Million total ...

You obviously don't understand the beauty and intricacies of Big Gubmint economics.
