The President, Like His Spending, is Out of Control !!

In the State of the Union (SOTU) address last Tuesday night, President Barack Obama basically, without saying so, told the GOP to go to hell. He told them to forget about forcing spending cuts by shutting down the government, don't think about defaulting on the debt and get to work on closing tax loopholes. (more on that in a moment.) 

The president is in a "we're going to do this my way" frame of mind with no plan to compromise. He said the American people "don't expect those of us in this chamber to agree on every issue. But they do expect us to put the nation's interests before party. They do expect us to forge reasonable compromise where we can." This man has always put his interests and his party's interests before anything else. And for him to use the word "compromise" is an insult to the intelligence of the American people. Hypocrisy on parade as his whole speech was about not compromising.

 Obama lied last year when he said that if he got tax increases on the rich he would later agree to spending cuts. We've seen this before out of the liberals. Can't imagine why anyone thought it would be different this time. Republicans are suckers for that kind of thing. The "fool me once, shame on you - fool me twice shame on me" theory has yet to sink in.

 Mr. Obama has a spending addiction. He as much admitted it when he proposed 29 new programs during the SOTU speech Tuesday in which to spend taxpayer's money. The sad part  he doesn't get it, or maybe doesn't care, that the taxpayers don't have anymore money. He spent his first four years bilking them of it. He claimed his fiscal spending policies won't add "a single dime" to the deficit. Really? We've heard that before. In fact, since Obama took office our deficit has increased by 58.6 trillion dimes.

Note that deficits from Nixon to Bush are in the billions of dollars. Only
one is in the trillions - and in just four years.

In just four years he increased the debt by more than $6 trillion dollars, more than President Bush in his eight years and more than all the presidents put together. There's no reason to believe this won't continue. It's projected that through his policies the national debt will top $25 trillion by 2022. That's unsustainable. The country will be bankrupt.

So, where is the president going to get the money to feed his spending habit? Taxes, taxes and more taxes. He talked in his speech about closing tax loopholes as a means to get more revenue. He was against that last December during the fiscal cliff negotiations when the Republicans suggested it as a way to increase the government's coffers as opposed to soaking the rich. But the president, who hates the rich with a passion, was adamant about raising their taxes.....now he wants loopholes closed!! Hypocrisy?

House Speaker John Boehner and the rest of the Republicans can no longer sit on the sidelines and let this man run amok. One gets the impression that the right side of the aisle is afraid to get down in the gutter with him, which is what it's going to take. They need to shed their nice guy attitudes and, if necessary, play dirty...that's what Obama is doing...and the sad part of it, voters like it despite what he is doing to this country. By the time they wake up and get their heads out of the sand it will be too late.....
