Federal Fiscal Idiocy

In a not too distant past, Presidents exhibited LEADERSHIP. This meant that during times of War, the president was front and center laying out his vision for winning, and ending the war. In fiscal crisis, the President was front and center telling the American people What his plan was to deal with the crisis, and why it would work.

OUR President has chosen to "Lead from behind" (in previous administrations this would have been considered FOLLOWING!) Eight months to decide on Military tribunals. Seven months to decide to send more troops into Afghanistan. 37 days of oil flowing into Gulf to find time in his bust golf schedule to meet with the head of BP. Warned by rating agencies of an impending downgrade of our debt, if $4 trillion of debt was not cut, He chose to present a budget with 1,200 NEW spending programs, that would ADD $9.9 TRILLION to the debt over 10 years ON TOP of the $5 trillion already added in the first two years of his dearth of leadership. So disastrous was his budget that in the Democrat controlled Senate IT FAILED TO GARNER A SINGLE VOTE! 0-97!

Here are some sobering statistics, to demonstrate the scope of what failure of leadership has wrought;

The top 10%, or 13,996,058 people pay 70% of the nations bills!, while 240,000,000 PAY NO FEDERAL INCOME TAXES! Since 1982 we have pushed an ever growing burden upon the shoulders of an ever shrinking segment of the populace. And NOW, under the cheering on of the most divisive president in history, those 240,000,000 BELIEVE what their president tells them, that these 13,995,058 are NOT PAYING THEIR FAIR SHARE!

Under our president's direction, the federal government NOW spends 26% of EVERY DOLLAR this nation produces! If you throw in State and Local governments, 49% of EVERY DOLLAR EARNED IN THIS COUNTRY GOES TO GOVERNMENT!

This means that the producers, have to work TWICE AS HARD to feed their own families because the government takes half of their production. As the Envirowackos say, "This is unsustainable"!
