Welcome Soaring Deficits that can never be paid.

Remember he has promised "fundamentally changing the United States of America"
He has surrounded himself with revolutionaries that believe like Mao, that power comes from the barrel of a gun. 

He believes in "spreading the wealth" (i.e. your wealth).

The fiscal year 2011 budget, sent to Congress Monday, includes buried allotment for Cap and Trade and Health Care a la Obama. All of it
will add $1.3 trillion in deficit spending on top of the current year's projected $1.6 trillion deficit. In fact, his budget depends upon this tax income.

This budget is full of taxes. Taxes on you. How will we survive.

Ironically, Obama said the federal government should stop treating taxpayer dollars like "Monopoly money." But what the hell is he doing?

Sen. Judd Gregg, on the Senate Budget Committee, said the White House is not going far enough in tackling the debt crisis. 

"We've got some pretty big problems here. We need some pretty big solutions," Gregg told Fox News. "This is fiscal insanity — to continue to grow the government the way we're growing it, to continue to spend the way we're spending. … We're going to pass onto our kids a country that basically is insolvent."

 Al Gore toon

This huge tax bill is totally unnecessary. The stress and pain caused for most of us is all for nothing.

The Global Warming Hoax/ Fraud

In the face of name-calling and worse, I have always maintained that Al Gore perpetrated the biggest scam on us and the world. What caused us to lap it up like Pavlovian dogs? Say the words "planet" "save" and we all salivate and believe everything we are told. How ludicrous. How stupid!

The science, the real science, behind this global warming stupidity is now collapsing. The most reliable satellite weather data shows that global atmospheric temperatures have declined over the last 11 years — that means the temps are getting colder!

Science also shows that the temperature patterns of the 20th century correlate with natural causes, not this global warming nonsense.

Temperatures did not increase steadily throughout the last century — even though carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases did.

Temperatures in the U.S. were stable until 1920, and then soared to produce the hottest decade of the century during the 1930s — all way before the rapid increases in greenhouse gas emissions.  Gee, Al, how do you account for that?

The climate then cooled during most of the period from 1940 until about 1977. Temperatures climbed upward from 1977 until 1998, except for a sharp downturn from about 1988 until about 1995. Temperatures are down again over the past decade — down over the last 11 years. It’s cycles folks! Nothing to worry about.

Forget that hysteria of floating polar bears and ice caps melting (oh the sky is falling) The polar ice caps are not melting. The melting of glaciers still going on is because those glaciers are from the last age age — which ended (thankfully) and, therefore, not due to global warming. Sea levels rose 400 feet, but over the last 18,000 years!  Furthermore, the rise has been decelerating over the past 5,000 years, and now is 1.8 mm per year – millimeters, regardless of global temperature fluctuations. What that means is the oceans would rise 9 inches over the next 100 years. Oooo, watch out for those floods!

This record is more consistent with the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, a long-term pattern of ocean currents that turns from cold to warm back to cold every 20 to 30 years, and with variations in solar activity, particularly sunspots. Indeed, our current accelerating temperature decline correlates with an extended trend of slowing sunspot activity, which may portend another Little Ice Age, as happened from the early 1400s to the late 1800s. Indeed, a full-blown ice age is now overdue based on historical patterns. –Spectator

In April, the Polish Academy of Sciences published a document challenging man-made global warming….Dr. Kiminori Itoh, a Japanese environmental physical chemist who contributed to a U.N. climate report, dubs man-made warming "the worst scientific scandal in history." Norway’s Ivar Giaever, Nobel Prize winner for physics, decries it as the "new religion."– WSJ

Remember this line? Read My Lips, No New Taxes!

That was Bush41 and it cost him a second term.

Well, guess what? There’s a guy named Obama who said this: if you make less than $250,000 your taxes will not go up.  Not one dime." Nevermind that the figure changed to $200,00 and then to $150,000.

The point is, that you already have new taxes (cigarettes that hit the poorest sector) and a whole bunch to come. They cannot be called "taxes" but are you that dumb to let him get away with that obvious ploy? If it costs you more money than it did 6 months ago, it’s a NEW TAX!!

That Cap and Trade is an innocuous name for a huge tax on electricity! One that could cost each American family $2000-$3000 per year. The law is the same as Al Gore’s BTU tax which was the centerpiece of Clinton’s 1993 tax program.  Eventually, Clinton replaced it with a flat 5 cent gasoline tax.  But the idea of taxing utility bills to drive down electricity use is as old as the Clinton Administration and just as stupid.  But Obama can’t call it a tax because that would break his pledge.  So he calls it cap and trade instead.

Then we have the brilliant ideas of taxing gassy cows and a 25% value-added-tax on everything. Um, didn’t he say no new taxes for 95% of us? Liar, liar, pants on fire.

To pay for his health care lunacy that England and Canada have already warned us against, Obama will likely make all health insurance premiums, paid by employers, taxable to the employees. This idea he crucified John McCain for but at least McCain was planning on giving each person $5000 to pay for the insurance!

Finally, it is obvious that Obama will be unable to restore financial solvency to Social Security and Medicare without big hikes in the payroll tax, coming in 2011!
 
It is ultimately these tax increases which will drive Obama’s congressional majority from office in the 2010 elections.  His stimulus package, raising the deficit damaged the recovery by raising interest rates.  Now he will complete the catastrophe by raising taxes.  Together, these tax hikes and interest rate increases will choke off any recovery the business cycle would naturally catalyze.

From now on, its Obama’s recession.

Cap and Trade – that fancy and innocent-sounding name for a huge TAX increase is in a coma — for now. It passed the House [gee that's a surprise with Nancy et.al.], but the Senate has more brains and it died there.

Oklahoma Senator Jim Inhofe identifies the bill, Obama’s global warming bill, for what it is. It  would cost the average Oklahoma family $3,200 a year. It would cost the rest of us the same according to MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and the Wharton School of Economics.

We need more like Jim Inhofe who has stood his ground for reason and common sense in the midst of this Al Gore hysteria. Inhofe, like myself, consider it the grandest hoax perpetrated on the public.

“Between the years of 1998 and 2005, I was the only member of the United States Senate who would take on what I call ‘the Hollywood elitists’ and the United Nations on this hoax called global warming and I went through seven years of purgatory on that issue.

“But now I’ve been redeemed and the vast majority of the scientific community has now said Inhofe’s right and the United Nations is wrong and those individuals … have now said ‘no, the science is not there and these are natural cycles.”

Friday morning House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was only two votes short of winning and later, the bill was approved in the House on a 219-212 vote. Finally proof: there are 219 idiots in the House. The smarter peoople in the Senate killed this largest tax increase in the history of the country.

“MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and the Wharton School of Economics came out with an analysis of what this is. They said that the range is between $330 and $350 billion a year. That translates in Oklahoma to $3,200 per family. Everyone who’s reading this story right now, that would be a tax increase of over $3,000 per family [EVERY YEAR]. I can give you all the documentation on that.”
