"Obama to send deficit-heavy $3.8 trillion budget to Congress; Includes $100b more for jobs" by Andrew Taylor, Associated Press | February 1, 2010
WASHINGTON - Assumptions that war costs will drop precipitously to just $50 billion in some years instead of more than three times that this year and next....
So ALREADY the WAR $ are BULLS*** -- just like what we got under George W. Bush!!! Like the CHANGE, America!?
And ARE THEY LIARS or what as they GEAR UP to HIT IRAN! Obama just SENT MISSILES OVER THERE so WE KNOW WHAT is COMING!
So WHEN is the NEXT FALSE FLAG ATTACK, 'eh, GOVERNMENT?
Obama’s $3.8 trillion spending plan for the 2011 budget year that begins Oct. 1 attempts to navigate between the opposing goals of pulling the country out of a deep recession and dealing with a budget deficit that soared to an all-time high of $1.42 trillion last year.
The startling budget numbers - deficits would total $8.5 trillion over the decade - are raising worries among voters and the foreign investors who buy much of the country’s debt.
I just thought I would highlight who is REALLY IMPORTANT to YOUR GOVERNMENT, voters!
On the antirecession front....
I'm just so sick of GARBAGE WORD "journalism," readers.
The administration is proposing a three-year freeze on spending for a wide swath of domestic government agencies. Military, veterans, homeland security, and big benefit programs such as Social Security and Medicare would not feel the pinch.
What is left? Everything else?
I mean, INTERESTS PAYMENTS still have to be MADE!
The freeze would affect $447 billion in spending and is designed to save $250 billion over a decade. It would not fall equally on all domestic agencies, however. Some would see budget cuts to free up spending for programs the administration wants to expand....
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s mission to return astronauts to the moon would be grounded with the space agency instead getting an additional $5.9 billion over five years to encourage private companies to build, launch, and operate their own spacecraft for the benefit of NASA and others. NASA would pay the private companies to carry US astronauts....
Yeah, PRIVATIZE NASA!
We aren't being LOOTED by contractors enough as it is!!!!
Yeah, not only are they OVERCHARGING TAXPAYERS, they are NOT KICKING BACK their "fair share."
"Contractors to be shut out if they don’t pay US taxes
WASHINGTON - President Obama ordered a crackdown yesterday on federal contractors that don’t pay their taxes.
The president signed an executive order telling federal agency chiefs to take steps to bar those companies from receiving new government contracts. The order also directed the IRS to review contractor filings to make sure companies are not lying about the taxes they’ve paid.
Obama said the practice is inefficient, wasteful, and, above all, wrong.
“We need to insist on the same sense of responsibility in Washington that so many of you strive to uphold in your own lives, in your own families, and in your own businesses,’’ he said.
The White House said the move is part of the president’s effort to restructure government contracting to eliminate waste and abuse.
Obama said studies by the Government Accountability Office have estimated that the United States is owed more than $5 billion in unpaid taxes by thousands of companies that are being awarded government contracts.

"Obama wants $192 billion in spending for wars" by Anne Flaherty, Associated Press | February 2, 2010
WASHINGTON - President Obama wants $192 billion in war spending for the next year and a half, a hefty sum aimed at escalating the war in Afghanistan, amid waning support at home....
Yeah, you never read much about the American public's disdain and distaste for this disaster built upon lies in the War Daily. I doubt they mention it again. We are only voters, after all.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates said success in Iraq and Afghanistan has “moved to the top’’ of the Pentagon’s priority list.
I thought Iraq was a success, and now nine f***ing years later we have to turn around a losing effort in Afghanistan?
“We now recognize that America’s ability to deal with threats for years to come will depend importantly on our success in the current conflicts,’’ Gates told reporters yesterday.
Translation: the WARS are NEVER GOING to END and WE ARE NOT LEAVING ANYWHERE, folks! We are going to be EXPANDING the WARS!
Why do you think MORE TROOPS are THERE?
It's ALL CONNECTED!
AFGHANISTAN is simply a COVER for MORE TROOPS to the region (like Iraq)!!!
The government has already shelled out a combined $1 trillion since 2001 for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Yeah, that is TRILLION with a T, AmeriKa!
ALL SPENT over LIES!!!!
Don't you wish you HAD THAT MONEY BACK?!
And note the "journalistic style":
It's the GOVERNMENT SHELLING OUT -- not YOU TAXPAYERS!!!!!
Obama’s $192 billion war budget is significantly less than the $245 billion request made in 2007 by President George W. Bush, after announcing that more than 20,000 combat troops would be sent to Baghdad.
Congress was expected to endorse the budget plan even though several antiwar Democrats oppose the troop buildup and others are looking for ways to lessen the war’s burden on the nation’s deficit.
Like "antiwar Democrats" ever mattered!!!

There IS NO ANTIWAR PARTY here in AmeriKa!!!!!!!!
Some lawmakers have proposed a special “war tax’’ to cover the costs, while Republicans have suggested taking money from Obama’s $787 billion stimulus package....
How about ENDING THEM INSTEAD, a**holes?!!!!!!!!!!!!
In a statement released yesterday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Democrat of California, suggested savings could be found in the Pentagon’s budget.
“Curbing military contractors’ wasteful practices must be part of our efforts to restore accountability, transparency, and fiscal discipline to the federal budget,’’ she said.
Hey, look, Pelosi PFFFFFFFFFTTT!!!
Gates said the Defense Department has already scrubbed its spending plan for savings “in a sober and clear-eyed way.’’
But KEEP PAYING those COST OVERRUNS and FALSE INVOICES, etc.

"Budget reflects dire realities, Obama says" by Susan Milligan and Alan Wirzbicki, Globe Staff And Globe Correspondent | February 2, 2010
WASHINGTON - The White House made it clear that it blamed Bush for forcing the administration to write a budget for a nation in fiscal rehab.
Well, HE'S BEEN GONE for a YEAR!
It seems to me it is YOU GUYS who have NOT CHANGED a DAMN THING are the problem!
Besides, how could Obama say such a TERRIBLE THING about such a GREAT MAN?!!
FLASHBACK: "two gentlemen of extraordinary stature"

More POLITICAL FOOLEYS, 'eh, Amurka?
Although Capitol Hill Democrats have frequently slammed him for the costly war in Iraq and large tax cuts, the Obama administration has been more tempered - until yesterday.
POLITICS!
Orszag noted that the two unpopular wars in Iraq and Afghanistan will cost taxpayers $160 billion next year.
THEN END 'EM! HE'S GONE!! YOU are in control now!
The Bush-era Medicare prescription drug benefit and $1.3 trillion in tax cuts, Orszag noted, were not offset with spending cuts or higher taxes in previous budgets.
Then DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!
You HAD a FILIBUSTER-PROOF MAJORITY and did NOTHING until it was GONE?
Can you say DEMOCRATIC FAILURE!!!!?
“The bottom line is this: We simply cannot continue to spend as if deficits don’t have consequences, as if waste doesn’t matter, as if the hard-earned tax dollars of the American people can be treated like Monopoly money, as if we can ignore this challenge for another generation,’’ Obama said....
But we WILL HAND OVER BILLIONS to BANKS for BONUSES!!!!
I'm SO SICK of THIS GUY'S S*** MOUTH!
I'm SO DISCOURAGED because I WORKED SO HARD to make sure the election wasn't stolen and THIS is what we get!!
He has FALLEN FASTER than GEORGE BUSH in my eyes!!
END the EMPIRE and SAVE OUR COUNTRY, Obomber!!!!!!
Lawmakers on Capitol Hill responded largely along party lines, a discouraging sign for a president who will need bipartisan support for many items in the budget blueprint....
And although Democrats largely approved of Obama’s budget plan - especially the tax hikes on the wealthy - they, too, indicated they want changes.
Representative David Obey, a Democrat of Wisconsin and chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, said the Pentagon should not be exempt from cuts. Obama exempted security-related programs in his spending freeze....
Others were unhappy that the administration had not fully funded the federal government’s home heating assistance program, a perennial concern for the Northeast. The administration proposed spending $3.3 billion instead of the $5.1 billion the region is receiving this year.
“If we had 10 percent of the bonus pool of

"Obama takes jobs pitch to N.H.; Promotes budget, voices frustration with GOP" by Susan Milligan, Globe Staff | February 3, 2010
NASHUA - “.... It’s easy for politicians to exploit the anger and anguish folks are feeling right now.... ’’
Oh, like screaming Al-CIA-Duh all the time, Obomber?
Yup, more s*** mouth.
And you thought I was bad with the colorful descriptions.
So WHEN IS the NEXT FALSE-FLAG ATTACK, Obomber?!!
Going to be BLAMED on IRAN this time?!
The setting was reminiscent of an Obama campaign event, with supporters jamming the auditorium, thrusting their cellphones in the air to take photos, and interrupting several times with applause. Some came to be inspired, but others said they just wanted reassurances they were being heard and legislative action would follow politicians’ words....
Oh, so this was you-know-what, readers!
The town hall-type meeting in Nashua was the latest in a series of events across the nation in which the president has sought to recapture some of the exuberance so evident in his 2008 campaign and to counter the energy surging through the GOP ranks since the surprise election of Scott Brown in Massachusetts last month.
THAT SEEMS like a LIFETIME AGO now, sob!!!
The president did make at least one concession to his critics. He agreed that he did not, as he had promised during the campaign, allow C-SPAN cameras to record all the health care negotiations.
“I think it’s a legitimate criticism’’ to note that not all discussions were made public, Obama told a questioner. “I made that commitment. I probably should have put it on C-SPAN.’
New Hampshire has been kind in recent elections to Democrats, voting for Obama in the 2008 general election and sending a Democratic senator and two Democratic House members to Washington. But voter anger over the economy and Washington politics have rejuvenated the GOP, which stands to take back both US House seats and retain Judd Gregg’s Senate seat this fall, said Andy Smith, director of the University of New Hampshire Survey Center.
“Republicans are mad, and if you’re mad, you’re going to get out and vote,’’ Smith said. “Democrats are mad, but they don’t have anybody to go out and vote against.’’
Yeah, it would be NICE if there was SOMEONE to VOTE FOR because when you VOTE AGAINST the LETTER by the NAME CHANGES, but EVERYTHING ELSE REMAINS the SAME!!!
I mean, we went from a Republican Congress and President to a filibuster-proof Democrat Congress and President and it CHANGED NOTHING! In fact, the WAR LOOTING and BANK THEFTS INCREASED!!!!
SOME CHANGE!!
It would be easy, Obama said, to pass the popular parts of the health care overhaul, such as banning insurance companies from denying coverage based on preexisting conditions.
That’s not fair to insurance companies, Obama said, unless nearly everyone has insurance.
Yeah, the HEALTH TAX, 'er, BILL was NEVER ABOUT YOU, America!
It is about TAKING TAX LOOT and GIVING IT TO INSURANCE COMPANIES!
Otherwise, people will “game the system’’ and get insurance only after they become very sick.
Of course, YOU are getting GAME by INSURANCE COMPANIES and GOVERNMENT NOW, America!!!!
And if we ADOPTED a SINGLE-PAYER SYSTEM NO ONE would NEED WORRY at all!!!
Where is THAT OPTION, huh?
“We’re essentially on the 5-yard line,’’ Obama said of the health care effort. “We just have to make sure we move methodically and the American people understand what’s in the bill.’’
Yeah, even as it is WRITTEN by the INSURANCE COMPANIES behind CLOSED DOORS with NO CAMERA!!!
Does this guy KNOW he is LYING or is he ANOTHER BUSH, huh?
What a s*** mouth!!!!

Backdoor taxes to hit middle class

"Dozens, pro and con, demonstrate outside; Counter event, weather may have affected turnout" by Eric Moskowitz, Globe Staff | February 3, 2010
NASHUA - Maybe it was the weather, or the hour, or the lack of parking. But just a few dozen demonstrators waited to greet President Obama along the rotary near Nashua High School North before his town hall yesterday - a fraction of the hundreds who crowded outside before a similar event last summer in Portsmouth, N.H., when police were herding boisterous sign-wielders into two camps, pro and con.
Yesterday, there was plenty of room for everyone....
“We tried to talk to some folks out here who think differently on issues than I do, and the conversation this morning has not been pleasant,’’ said Zandra Rice Hawkins, 28, , holding an “Obama Rocks the Granite State’’ poster. Hawkins, from Goffstown, tried to convince a postal worker that the entire country would benefit if everyone had a government health insurance plan like hers.
Yeah, except THAT is NOT what the BILL IS!

"Among the advantages: a choice of 10 healthcare plans that provide access to a national network of doctors, as well as several HMOs that serve each member’s home state. By contrast, 85 percent of private companies offering health coverage provide their employees one type of plan. Take it or leave it.
Lawmakers also get special treatment at Washington, D.C.’s, federal medical facilities and, for a few hundred dollars a month, access to their own pharmacy and doctors, nurses, and medical technicians standing by in an office conveniently located between the House and Senate chambers. In all, taxpayers spent about $15 billion last year to insure 8.5 million federal workers and their dependents.... lawmakers can tailor coverage in a way most Americans cannot."
"Indeed, a question often surfaces: Why can’t everyone enjoy the same benefits as members of Congress? The answer: The country probably couldn’t afford it.... "
But they can AFFORD WARS and BANK LOOTINGS, 'eh?
"Federal employees also have a significant benefit denied the average American: There is no such thing as a preexisting condition"

“She doesn’t want to hear it,’’ Hawkins said. “And I think that’s what’s happening with a lot of people who are detractors - they don’t want to hear the truth, and they don’t want to understand the issue.’’
Uh-huh!!!
And the "OTHER SIDE" in my agenda-pushing paper is NO DIFFERENT!
Not more than 20 feet away, Kathy Holmes was saying something similar, but from the opposite political viewpoint. “They call us narrow-minded, but they’re the ones that are blind,’’ said Holmes, 55, from Chichester, who teaches at a Christian school. She held an “Appeal to Heaven’’ banner inspired by the Sons of Liberty, seeking a revolution to throw off what she sees as an oppressive government.
“The country is being swiped right from under us,’’ Holmes said. “Most of us are feeling lost and abandoned by our law people, the people whose responsibility is to protect America, and they’re just sending it down the drain.’’
Controlled or not, she is RIGHT about THAT!!!
By 1 p.m., an hour before the president took the stage, the crowd of demonstrators peaked at about 100.
And yet they get ALL THIS PRINT!
And by the time the 1,000 attendees inside the high school gym spilled out after the event, the poster holders were long gone....
Instead, those charged up in opposition to the president’s policies mostly gathered at a shadow town hall - dubbed “Stop the Spending!’’ - in a windowless hotel conference room about 3 miles down the road.
There, a crowd of nearly 250 - men in dress shirts, cowboy hats, and “I’d rather be waterboarding’’ T-shirts; women in tailored suits and sweat shirts with anti-Obama stickers - listened to Jennifer Horn, a New Hampshire radio host and Republican congressional candidate, and Stephen Moore, a free-market economist and Wall Street Journal commentator, speak out against Obama’s initiatives....
Yup, a CONTROLLED OPPOSITION PROTEST -- which is why it MAKES the PAPER!
Back at the high school, high up in the bleachers, a local couple who had volunteered for Obama lingered after the event. Geoff Daly, 64, an engineer, called Obama’s performance “very lively’’ and “extremely illuminating.’’
Next to him, Daly’s wife, Margie Frans, 57, looked dispirited, predicting a political slog ahead. Just the other day a friend told her Obama is doing a terrible job and wanted to impose death panels on health care.
Frans shook her head over the false rumor that had dogged the initiative for the better part of a year. “Still, now, in February!’’ she said.Hey, we have been LIVING with 9/11 and IRAQ for YEARS and THOSE LIES are REGULARLY REGURGITATED in my morning newspaper!
