Here's a little light reading to explain just how the assholes in DC piss away our tax money. http://www.coburn.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?a=Files.Serve&File_id=b7b23f66-2d60-4d5a-8bc5-8522c7e1a40e Food stamp abuse, robotic squirrels, Morrocan pottery, free phones for everyone in the family.... Sure let's raise taxes and close tax loopholes. We need to increase revenue so that we can piss away more money.
I re-posted this on FB. What a great find. If you don't feel like a dumb ass after reading this report, then you are just too stupid to realize just how stupid you are.
I'm so relieved that somebody is doing something about the robot squirrels. I was worried about them...
Senate Votes To Withhold Pay For Obama’s Budget Writers… Sadly, it won’t be a law. Via The Hill: The Senate late Friday backed withholding the White House budget director’s pay if the president is late delivering a budget. The budget amendment, which has no force of law, was sponsored by Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas.). It was passed by voice vote. The amendment would also withhold the pay of the deputy director and deputy director for management of the Office of Management and Budget. President Obama was supposed to deliver his budget by the first Monday of February under the law, but his 2014 budget is now slated to come out in April. Cornyn told the Senate that “the president has rendered himself entirely irrelevant,” in the budget process since the House and Senate will have acted first. He noted that after Congress enacted a “No Budget, No Pay” law this year, the Senate brought a budget to the floor for the first time in four years. No Democrats rose to defend Obama.
Obama: “The Truth Is, Our Deficits Are Already Shrinking”… Reality: Obama has increased the deficit by more than $6 trillion. Via Weekly Standard: . . . “My budget will reduce our deficits not with aimless, reckless spending cuts that hurt students and seniors and middle-class families – but through the balanced approach that the American people prefer, and the investments that a growing economy demands,” said Obama. “Now, the truth is, our deficits are already shrinking. That’s a fact. I’ve already signed more than $2.5 trillion in deficit reduction into law, and my budget will reduce our deficits by nearly $2 trillion more, without harming the recovery. That surpasses the goal of $4 trillion in deficit reduction that many economists believe will stabilize our finances.”
