Scary on SO many levels!
This woman epitomizes everything that is wrong with our current "leadership." Incompetence-She can't seriously be third in line for the presidency or running the House of Representatives can she. Elitism-The confidence to know that she is fully able to come out and hold multiple press conferences in which she says something that is immediately proven to be a fabrication, without consequence due to a compliant media. Obfuscation-It was the CIA's fault. It was George Bush's fault. It was Dick Cheney's fault. Again with a fully compliant media, the question is being asked today in news outlets, "Did the CIA lie?"
Shazaam!! I never made the connection Mr. Obvious!!
Obama Says U.S. Long-Term Debt Load ‘Unsustainable’
By Roger Runningen and Hans Nichols
May 14 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama, calling current deficit spending “unsustainable,” warned of skyrocketing interest rates for consumers if the U.S. continues to finance government by borrowing from other countries.
“We can’t keep on just borrowing from China,” Obama said at a town-hall meeting in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, outside Albuquerque. “We have to pay interest on that debt, and that means we are mortgaging our children’s future with more and more debt.”
Holders of U.S. debt will eventually “get tired” of buying it, causing interest rates on everything from auto loans to home mortgages to increase, Obama said. “It will have a dampening effect on our economy.”
Earlier this week, the Obama administration revised its own budget estimates and raised the projected deficit for this year to a record $1.84 trillion, up 5 percent from the February estimate. The revision for the 2010 fiscal year estimated the deficit at $1.26 trillion, up 7.4 percent from the February figure. The White House Office of Management and Budget also projected next year’s budget will end up at $3.59 trillion, compared with the $3.55 trillion it estimated previously.
Two weeks ago, the president proposed $17 billion in budget cuts, with plans to eliminate or reduce 121 federal programs. Republicans ridiculed the amount, saying that it represented one-half of 1 percent of the entire budget. They noted that Obama is seeking an $81 billion increase in other spending.
This guy talks about it like it's someone else doing the spending.
