We’re Way Past the Time for a Machete

So even reporters are having trouble comprehending how absolutely impotent Obama’s budget is about the deficit. Yet Obama is still trying to convince the last few morons who take him seriously that he’s making big cuts or something. Here’s what he claimed: “To use an analogy that families are familiar with, we’re not going to be running up the credit card anymore.”

Dude, your budget is proposing 7.2 trillion in new debt over the next ten years; you obviously aren’t going to be running up the credit card because Discover ain’t touching that. And you think that is being fiscally responsible? This is not just at a level of not understanding economics; this is looking at a dollar bill and saying, “What in the world is that?”

And then Obama said this about budget cuts: “Let’s use a scalpel; let’s not use a machete.”

A SCALPEL?!! Do you see this massive jungle of debt growing outside choking everything? And you want to prick at that with a scalpel? Heck, even a machete is barely going to put a dent it. We need to agent orange that sucker. And that’s just to keep things from getting to the level where we need to nuke it from orbit.

Obama is later going to try to raise taxes. Obviously, it’s not to help reduce the deficit because there is no credible evidence he cares about such a thing. It will just be because of some weird fetish he has about confiscating other people’s money.

So it’s up to Republicans to save the country — which sucks, but that’s the way it is — and it’s up to Obama to be the enemy to that screaming about hurting seniors and poor people to try and get reelected because of how much we need his non-leadership for another four years. I’m not saying Obama is anti-American; I’m just saying if you’re pro-American, that’s going to require being very anti-Obama. Good luck to both America’s well-being and Obama’s political future — may the best one win.
