WASHINGTON – The federal government faces exploding deficits and mounting debt over the next decade, White House officials predicted Tuesday in a fiscal assessment far bleaker than what the Obama administration had estimated just a few months ago.
Figures released by the White House budget office foresee a cumulative $9 trillion deficit from 2010-2019, $2 trillion more than the administration estimated in May. Moreover, the figures show the public debt doubling by 2019 and reaching three-quarters the size of the entire national economy.

One Marine Veteran Speaks Out:
I, for the most part, tend to agree with the bulk of Hugh Hewitt’s observations and posts.
Here, he and I tend to very occasionally part ways.
First, please watch this video:
Our Marine states:
I’ll remind you, a little history lesson. The Nazis were the National Socialist Party. They were leftists. They took over the finance, they took over the car industry, they took over health care in that country. If Nancy Pelosi wants to find a swastika, maybe the first place she should look is the sleeve of her own arm.
Facts are what they are, comparisons are what they are, and if they happen to coincide with portions of history then so be it. Hewitt disdains any reference to Nazis. I am not quite so judgmental here and now.
I don’t and will not immediately discard the opinions of this Warrior who has served, with honor, his country. He has EARNED the right to make his comments and thoughts known in public.
And a note to the Demorats: this “movement” or “____” or whatever you choose to call it, is NOT going away.
I should care to point out some greater truths:
Clark Judge, of the White House Writers Group, pens:
Last week, Mr. Cook announced in his online newsletter that polling data “confirm anecdotal evidence, and our own view, that the [political] situation this summer has slipped completely out of control for President Obama and Congressional Democrats.” Poll after poll, he noted, shows the President’s approval rating at levels that are astonishingly low, considering the newness of his administration and the immense victory he and his party won just ten months ago. But Mr. Cook and this city are a step behind.
The great danger for Team Obama is no longer dismal polling numbers. Washington is only now acknowledging what should have been evident for weeks, that the President’s continued championing of the deeply unpopular health care overhaul is dragging down opinion about him and how he is handling his job.
No, the new, new danger is that Mr. Obama could be moving towards a much more profound setback – a collapse of public trust in his Administration.
Perhaps you initially thought, like the Borg, that “resistance is futile“?
NO.
I posit: CONTINUED resistance is precisely what is required now.

The Demorats Don’t Care What The Constituents Think
And they will push ObamaKare no matter what you think, no matter what it may do to the economy, no matter how much it will cost, no matter what the burden placed on future generations.
More proof? This exchange between Senators Chuck Schumer (D) and Orrin Hatch (R) from yesterday’s (Sunday, 8-23) Meet The Press:
My wife has Windows Vista on the new ASUS CG series desktop I purchased for her, with an absolutely fabulous LG Flatron W2361VG monitor (probably the best I’ve ever seen).
However, Vista is driving me crazy now! I can’t cut and paste from, say, any given internet site onto a new Blogger post. I can highlight text, for example, right-click and then click on COPY. But when it comes time to click back to the window featuring my new post, the PASTE option is “grayed-out” and I cannot paste. I can “cut and paste” links, but not text!
So I can’t finish this post at my wife’s house. I’m about to leave for my cabin many miles away where I have XP.
Any Vista geniuses out there, who may be able to help me solve this — what I initially thought — small problem?
This is one of the most basic abilities one must have in any computer environment. And I can’t even cut and paste with Vista? Am I a bleeding idiot, or is Vista?
Help!

Amusing, but there is verisimilitude in humor; without kernels of truth, humor isn’t.
