FACT CHECK: Obama and his imbalanced ledger
WASHINGTON (AP) — The ledger did not appear to be adding up Tuesday night when President Barack Obama urged more spending on one hand and a spending freeze on the other.Oh come on now. Everyone knows that the money for all those projects will come fromObama spoke ambitiously of putting money into roads, research, education, efficient cars, high-speed rail and other initiatives in his State of the Union speech. He pointed to the transportation and construction projects of the last two years and proposed "we redouble these efforts." He coupled this with a call to "freeze annual domestic spending for the next five years."
But hey, they've got votes to buy, and they're certainly not going to use their own money, right?
That is all.

We'll just raise the tax rate on anyone making over $250K a year to 90%; that'll solve all of our money problems, right?
The sad thing is there are plenty of stupid fucking people who actually think such a proposal will work.
I read that same report and was actually a tad surprised, seems the media is always pro-Obama. Hardly ever see them write anything even slightly negative.
Politicians lie; it's in their job description.
I try to avoid the Political Dog and Pony shows whenever possible. Better for my digestion. But when it comes down to the "Sausage Making" in the Congress, whatever Barry sends to the Hill, it'll be so out of sync with the House that the Talking Heads will have months of Fodder to justify their existence. This,of course, relieves them from their responsibility to report REAL News, like the collapsing Middle East and North Africa, the Iranian-Sponsered Terrorist group Hezbollah taking over Lebanon (and the upcoming War with Israel when they do with $150 a barrel Oil as a result), food shortages looming to the weather disasters in Russia and Australia, you know, stuff that might cause lots of people to die and add extra strain to the fragile state of Civilization. But wasn't it great to see Whigs and Commies sitting next to each other at the SOTU! What a bunch of Fiddle Playing Neros.
OPM, that is the key phrase... dammit...
