Obama Was Just Funnin’ About Savin’ Money
It’s change you can believe in, alright – and change your kids, grandkids and great-grandkids will be paying for centuries from now.
But is it “changing Washington?”
Not hardly.
Because while the numbers are increasing at an unprecedented rate, all this bailout boondoggling is just a continuation of the trend to grow government during good times and resort to ballooning the national debt during bad times.
In fact, just yesterday President-elect “The One” dropped a budget bombshell, telling Americans that they should prepare for “trillion-dollar deficits for years to come.â€
Seriously, people. He said that sh*t .
Hold up … we’ve grown the deficit by at least half a trillion dollars each year since 2003, when times were (comparatively) good.
And how, exactly, has that plan worked out? Yeah … not so good.
And now Yo-bama wants to double our annual debt load?
You know, there are a lot of four-letter words running through our heads right now, but the one that Obama and the rest of these Washington jokers needs to learn is this one …
“Stop.”

Keep up with the D.C. language: “earmarks” are forbidden to be uttered as they have now been officially replaced by the latest catch-phrase “infra-structure”.
How much of this shovel ready infra-structure money is going to trickle down to states like S.C. that voted for the wrong guy? Depends on how well Spratt and Clyburn work their magic – Clyburn’s bridge just might get built after all!
