Mr Obama’s ratings have sagged further, as well they should. He is tone-deaf, narcissistic.
In the meantime, the Treasury Department said Wednesday that the February deficit totaled $220.9 billion, 14 percent higher than the previous record set in February of last year.
The deficit through the first five months of this budget year totals $651.6 billion, 10.5 percent higher than a year ago.
All that stimulus money, those billions and billions — unaccounted for, having disappeared into the fiscal ozone and no one in the federal government seems to much care. In the meantime, all that wasted cash has benefited you in what fashion?
How is it that anyone can feature the manner in which spending money saves money? Riddle me that one, ladies and gentlemen. I’m sure that formula works well in your household, does it not?
I can tell you how it’s worked in Fornicalia. There are eight Fornicalia counties whose unemployment rates now are over 20%, twice the national average. Imperial County? 27% unemployment. Fresno County? 24%.
My department laid off 250 deputies the middle of last year. Yesterday, it laid off 19 pages of intermittent deputies in a personnel order. It will lay off a minimum of another 70 deputies come July 1st.
Pass ObamaKare and taxes will rise geometrically and immediately. Benefits will, of course, not occur for four years. Pass CapNTax and businesses will further shutter across this nation. Larger businesses will leave the country. There is talk of raising federal taxes a minimum of $3 per gallon of fuel. Then they want a mileage tax. Some advocate raising rates to $20 per gallon of gas.
That’s in order to shape our thinking and acting. And to penalize us for not driving more shoebox hybrids. Whose overall construction, per vehicle, is worse on the environment than if everyone were driving Hummer H2s. But who cares? We feel better, don’t we?
And forcing us into shoebox electric vehicles. Right. Electricity. At whose rate the generation of which can’t even keep up with current demand each summer — much less adding an entire level of national electric cars.
Yes, of course. It all makes perfect sense. When the economy is in recession, on the cusp of an actual depression, bordering on hyper-inflation (the likes of which I believe are yet to come), it’s time to remove tax cuts, increase taxes, ramp up regulations, tighten restrictions on everyone at every level, remove more freedoms. Obama’s DOJ refuses to fight ACORN corruption.
Tax, spend, tax, spend.
And the Demorats think they’re not going to pay? Some Demorats are already distancing themselves from The One. He is losing his base. They know there are problems.
Cloward-Piven, anyone?
