Dork in Chief.

It wasn’t just bowling.

Watch to the end to see The Moron’s predecessor.

He took this document from the Treasury’s website:

http://www.fms.treas.gov/mts/mts.pdf

Tallying up the figures from October 08 to January 09, with January divided by 2/3 as Obama ascended the throne on the 20th, gives 541 billion in deficit spending. Curiously almost half (237 billion) was in October, right after the crash, but I digress…..

Never mind what I pointed out previously, the deficit was falling year and year from 2003 on, until this last year when the market crashed.

Yet by the same counting….well, I’ll spot Obama the rest of January as he was probably too busy showing off Air Force One and going to parties, and I’ll even round it down….from February to June the total is:

689 billion.

Play it his way and count the last third of January and round it up: 718 Billion.

But hey, what’s a few billion here and there? I guess we all just be too done ignorant to grasp the facts of the matter……

“The Economy Is Even Worse Than You Think”

http://online.wsj.com/article/.....inion_main

The author is the chairman and editor in chief of U.S. News & World Report, not some loudmouth blogger.

In a nutshell, unemployment is worse than reported because even employed people are working less, many new jobs are temp jobs, and about 8 other reasons.

The spending from the “Depression Stimulus”, so far, has been about 10% (the 8% or so spent) on job-producing projects. As we already knew, the stimulus is political payola. It has little to do with economic recover.

American’s are hunkering down (see my prior post), not spending. And spending is what usually brings the country out of a recession.

And the author doesn’t even bring up the double horrorwhammy of Cap and Tax and the Universal Health Scare.

Be afraid.

Be very very very afraid.

As usual, it’s do as I say, not as I do. Did this moron even think about what was coming out of his mouth? (Rhetorical question folks.)

It’ s huge part of the problem.

- we get reminded every day the “crisis” is the worst since the Great Depression. So why spend a dime?
- we are told repeatedly that businessmen are the enemy. So where are the jobs going to come from?
- we are told repeatedly (like by Little Timmy) that we caused the problem by our own personal debt. So why spend now?
- the national debt has doubled in 6 month, and with optimistic estimates will double again. Who will pay that off?
- the Drooler and others haven’t changed their behavious at all. Even brain-dead libwits know that had at least something to do with “the crisis”.
- everything is supposed to be Wall Street’s problem. So where are the reforms?
- we were told there would be massive mortgage relief. Where is it?
- we are told repeatedly that the auto industry will be “rebuilt”, which means cars that run on alternative energy. Even brain-dead libwits know that those cars cost far more than gas-powered cars.
- we are told ad nauseum that we are abandoning fossil fuels. Even brain-dead libwits know there is no alternative. Energy prices are going to “skyrocket”. Obamy told us. Fossil fuel suppliers will “go bankrupt”. Again, the Moron told us. What would you do?
- we can see the massive amounts of our money spent on stupid make-work political payola. We know who will have to pay for those crimes.
- here come Cap and Trade. Even brain-dead liberals know that our personal expenses will “skyrocket”
- here comes Universal Health Scare. Even brain-dead liberals know the government is the least efficient supplier in creation.
- and not a thing has been done about the overwhelming financial problems that existed before this manufactured crisis. Medicare and Social Security.
- we hear that income tax input to the government is 50% of last year. We know what that means.
- we watch the debacle in California and understand what that means to the future of the US.
- and we know the minorities and special interest groups that elected The Moron want MORE of what we spent decades to build for THEMSELVES.

So we ratchet our budgets down. We don’t invest a dime. We protect jobs like a first-born son. We keep our mouths shut at work. We don’t take vacations. We don’t eat out. We live with minor problems that we usually would pay to repair. We keep our cars running. We conserve gas and utilities. We spend sparingly at Christmas. We learn to save money at the grocery store. We double up on errands.

Because we aren’t fools.

And we seethe with a righteous anger that will not be controlled forever.

- and I could have sworn it was a “fact” that they promised no more than 8% unemployment with that Stimulus, which because we are now at 9.5% unemployment, help me here Stinger, because you have a really good grasp on this stuff, I think might be contributing to the 50% drop-off in tax revenues. Again, help me genius….doesn’t that like, uh, contribute to the deficit? I kind of thought income tax receipts were about $1 trillion in FY 2008, and they are about 1/2 that now. So since The Moron has been in office 6 months, that’s a chunk of change. But you would know the precise facts on that, Stinger, I’m sure.

- and uh, wasn’t there an uh, 3 Trillion budget passed by the same Moron and the same dimwit collaborators a few weeks later? Help me Stinger……could a huge increase in the federal budget be contributing to the deficit? I can’t figure out how that works. I watch the Moron’s fingers waving and I just feel so good about emplyment that I can’t think about the deficit.

- and who, uh, passed the 700 Billion TARP monstronsity. I could have sworn the Democrats controlled Congress, but you have command of the “facts”, so let us know, ok? Because if Congress passed it, were Pelosi and Reid acting as Dubya’s lackeys on that one?

- and uh, what about the $100+ Billion that the Moron lavished gave to the UAW auto manufacturers. How did Bushhitler make the Moron do that?

And of course, your spendaholic buds are just getting a head of steam going.

What’s that CBO thingey anyway, Stinger? And why are they predicting a doubling of the national debt during the Moron’s reign. I guy like you with a grasp of the facts would know. Help us out here guy.

It really is a shame that civics is no longer taught in schools.

Otherwise, you might know that it is Congress who writes and passes every budget, every spending bill.

And guess who has controlled Congress since 2006?

But I am sure y’all can find a way to still blame the Dems for the entire one trillion.

UPDATE: It is pretty amazing that someone who controls this blog has now removed all my responses to the replies. Apparently debate is not wanted, just name calling and Conservative “yes-men”.

Living within our means?

I don’t know about you all, but I wasn’t flying pizza chefs in to the proreason abode. I wasn’t dashing off to France, and Africa with the whole family in tow, and to New York and Chicago for weekend dates, and to Hawaii for much needed vacations after doing no work whatsoever for 2 years. I wasn’t taking the neighbors for fly-by’s of the Statue of Liberty. Haven’t bought Mrs. Reason any $50,000 necklaces recently either, and haven’t bought the kids $5,000 playsets. And Mrs. Reason has been passing of the $500 sneakers and the $5,000 clutch bags.

On the other hand, I didn’t take hundreds of thousands of dollars out of my house by refinancing, and I haven’t run up tens of thousands of other debts. And I wasn’t cheating on income taxes in the tens of thousands a year, and I didn’t pull money out of bank stocks the day before the MM run like our esteemed Senators did.

So maybe the problem wasn’t that Americans weren’t living within our means, but perhaps that the criminals and thugs running the country aren’t living within the countries means.

I thought he wasted all the Clinton Surplus fighting two wars, and put us deep into the hole? Instead things only really sunk in ’08, and the market tanked in September.

So if Bush was such a terrible president and manager of money, how is it we were doing better year after year from about ’03 on?

Never mind, we know the answer…..
