I'd like to believe he's sincere, but his trillion+ dollar deficit makes me wonder.
From Investor's Business Daily:
In his State of the Union address, President Barack Obama said that "families across the country are tightening their belts and making tough decisions," so the "federal government should do the same."
The following week, the president presented his new budget, which contains $1.267 trillion in new deficit spending. So much for cinching up the belt.
From USA Today:
President Obama created an 18-member fiscal commission Thursday charged with coming up with ideas to begin erasing $14.3 trillion in government red ink.
"These are tough times, and we can't keep spending like they're not," Obama said.
Yet I haven't seen him say a word about trimming some of the trillion+ dollar deficit from his budget. I wonder why.
