Headline:  "Obama ‘Agnostic’ on Deficit Cuts, Won’t Prejudge Tax Increases"

...by which he means that he's prepared to increase taxes on those people he SWORE not to raise taxes on repeatedly, repeatedly, repeatedly... throughout his campaign.

Get this:

Obama said the U.S. was faced with a “structural deficit” that was in place before the recession began and that was only made worse by the deepest drop in the economy since the 1930s.

“Our real problem is not the spike in spending last year, or the lost, even the lost revenues last year, as significant as those are,” he said. “The real problem has to do with the fact that there is a just a mismatch between the amount of money coming in and the amount of money going out. And that is going to require some big, tough choices that, so far, the political system has been unable to deal with.”

Yes...by some weird inexplicable accident of FATE, there is more money "going out" than "coming in".

Notice the passive voice. No PERSON or INSTITUTION is "spending more money" than they're "taking in"—NO. Money is just passively "going out". Apparently all on its own!

Here's another beauty:

Many economists, including conservatives such as former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, argue that tax increases will be necessary as part of a broad package to control the deficit, which the White House projects will hit a record $1.6 trillion in the fiscal year ending on Sept. 30.

The deficit "will hit" (the White House projects...mind you). Again...just moving and evolving all on its own. They don't say: "White House and Democrats have spent so much money that we don't have and have had to borrow in the last year that they have created a record deficit of $1.6 trillion."

AND NOW THEY WANT TO USE THAT AS AN EXCUSE TO INCREASE YOUR TAXES...JUST AS THOUGH IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM!

Not their fault.


"The deficit will hit"; "there is a mismatch between money coming in and....going out."


We're not supposed to think about the outrageous, massive, partisan, excessive, monstrous spending of trillions of dollars on pork, party & union pay-offs, growing entitlements, bailouts,  bogus "stimuli", special and sweetheart deals, illegal punitive taxation, uncertainty and insecurity in the markets because of this administration's unpredictability, destruction of the currency, inflation, money printing, massive debt...

NO. NO. Ignore the little Democrat behind the curtain! He has NOTHING to do with it. The money that is "going out" needs to be balanced with the money "coming in"...and the deficit is " is growing" higher and higher.

Nothing to do with US....
