The Administration is busy crunching the numbers for the next budget, and frantic phone calls are being made all over D.C. One in particular might just be the most expensive phone call in the history of telecommunication. And it’s even worse because the White House is calling collect.

Every government interference in the economy consists of giving an unearned benefit, extorted by force, to some men at the expense of others. –Ayn Rand
Defying history, reality and common sense, Obama’s $3.5 trillion budget resolution passed by Congress earlier this month signals a dramatic shift in the priorities and scope of the federal government.

The “head fake” that the sensible knew was coming may be arriving a bit earlier than expected. With all of the socialist stumbles of the communist coterie known as the Obama administration to this early point in the game, the inevitable “look towards 2010″ reveals to the progressive prognosticators a need for a fallacious “move towards the middle.” This will be accompanied by a misleading “tax cut” totaling an insignificant amount that will garner the typical heavy breathing, perspiration and swooning that every liberal misdirection receives from the complicit “impartial” media. With as much damage as they have done, it would seem appropriate that this Democratic diversion would need to be done at such an early moment in Obama’s Totalitarian tenure.
The generosity of the Obama caliphate is staggering. Within a “budget” that will approach four trillion dollars when all is said and done, seventeen billion has been placed on the chopping block. That amounts to about one half of one percent. Don’t spend it all in one place. Obama marionette Peter Orszag said, “Seventeen billion a year is not chump change by anyone’s accounting.” The habitual “fabrication” that is part of the liberal genus cannot be contained or corralled.

Last year with tongue securely in cheek when I wrote about the Fed buying Treasury Bonds I tried using the absurd to make a point. I explained this would be like issuing your own credit card, buying everything you want, paying for the credit card with your checking account, and filling the checking account with cash advances from the credit card. I was just kidding. I never thought this would actually happen. It has. When I wrote about the nationalization of GM and the financial system I was again trying to use absurdity to make a point. It’s getting hard to be absurd in America today.
With the Fed buying treasury bonds America has in effect declared bankruptcy. We might not think so because the mainstream media hasn’t mentioned it but our creditors have noticed. China wants higher interest rates and collateral. Dancing down the yellow-brick road to Insolvent City our leaders announce a new trillion dollar something or other every day. A trillion here, a trillion there and eventually trillion doesn’t sound so shockingly big any more. What comes after a trillion? It’s a quadrillion with 15 zeros then a quintillion with 18 zeros. What’s the difference between these bewildering figures? A trillion is a million millions. There are a million seconds is 11 days. A billion seconds is around 32 years. And a trillion seconds in approximately 32,000 years. To the average person it doesn’t matter whether it’s a million, a billion or a trillion; they’re all too big to wrap our heads around.

Ah, the historic presidency of Barack Obama. Remember his own comparisons of himself to JFK and Lincoln? Move over Jefferson, Obama is movin’ on up.

Those who understand the damage done by the New Deal and the Great Society had better buckle themselves in because the “New Kids on the Block” are going to create a “Progressive Potemkin Village” to beat the band.
“Talk” always soothes the savage liberal beast. They love the hypnotic tones of their sonorous socialism. The words aren’t important to them at all; they just need to hear their deities and to “feel” their bleating hearts. It is therefore logical that numbers are not important to them either. That is why the “size” and “scope” of the Obama budget is perfectly logical when you factor in these liberal defects.
The Obama administration, to be known from this point forward as “The Wrecking Crew,” have tabled a “budget” of at least 3.6 TRILLION dollars. In an article entitled, “Bam’s Budget,” Brian Darling says that, “The plan is light on candor, too.” Liberals abhor candor with the same fervor as they eschew ethics. Obama’s mentor Karl Marx, never provided a detailed description as to how communism would function as an economic system either.
