Cokie Roberts on NPR this morning was saying that of course it's not going to pass, or any other budget this year, but it'll show what Obama's priorities are.

4 trillion in cuts over the next decade, but the spending still increases.... so how is it a 4 trillion cut? IT ISN'T.

And will the GOP bring everything to a halt to protect things like tax breaks for their ultra rich masters?
You know they will...just like last time.
Clean House this fall, and Senate, of GOP Douchbaggery.
Or get subjected to more of this.

Before everyone gets their panties in a wad about the Republicans, Mitch McConnell has said he will introduce the budget in the Senate. Then we'll see who votes for it.

Sounds like his priority is to pass a goddamn budget.

It has to start in the House. What's Boehner up to?

We all know it won't pass the House. But, I don't believe it will pass in the Senate either. Remember, Obama's last budget failed 98-0 in the Senate. But everyone please feel free to continue blaming the Republicans.

If he is re-elected, he will openly declare himself a Muslim. That's been my prediction for quite some time.

Uh, yeah, there's a guy who is just full of useful advice..

Obama's budget heading to Congress where it will...

...live a long and agonizing life full of compromise, heartbreak, and disappointment before finally, in late middle age, lying down on some railroad tracks one cold and desolate winter night.

They really gave it to him in there.

And as we all know, the Constitution forbids Muslims from holding public office in America!

i don't know if Obama has looked in the mirror lately, but he's black. Ain't no way the GOP is going to let a black guy do anything but sit in jail or work for minimum wage.

Will it help the economy? If it will, the GOP will vote it down, or never let it come to a vote at all. The GOP wants to legislate away the rights of the working class and raise their taxes, while giving the treasury to their corporate campaign contributors. And even if Obama's budget did exactly that, they'd still vote it down because it came from teh Kenyan!!1!!

This is the country we live in now.

well yeah! That's why you keep one around. Also, to blame failed elections on (ALAN KEYES)

Plotz.

what a weekend, yesterday as I was praying in my closet a bunch of HHS agents jack booted down my door, gave me a welfare check, signed me up for foodstamps, gave me 3 homo-muslin abortions, pierced my ears with IUDs, then made me take a morning after pill while wearing a condom.

Now this
I am outraged!!!

If nothing else, Obama's shadow budget shows that following his "tax-the-rich" campaign mantra will do nothing to cut the deficit. Ten-year plans are for suckers. He wasn't even serious with this one.

In answer to the question: ... magically disappear, only to be found later on the floor of Whitney Houston's hotel room.

The Dems have a budget this year? What will they think of next.....

Flossed to death by razor wire.

Wow, think about it for two seconds. He can increase overall spending while increasing spending in some areas. If he increases spending in education and cuts that money out somewhere else it won't increase overall spending.

That's pretty obvious.

so tell me again how its going to 'cut' 4 trillion? we are still spending more than we can afford, and somehow its a cut to spend a tiny bit less over the next 10 years that has an increasing deficit each year? So please stop it with that 'cut' bs. He isn't cutting anything on anything. He is still spending more and more each year, while the National debt goes up at least a Trillion each year.

To say he is shifting money from one to another, but the spending still increases, how is it a cut? He is lying to everyone.

How dare that uppity fake president propose policies that even most Republicans agree with!

Real American Armchair Commandoes to the rescue!

Did you ever stop and think "If I'm the only one having trouble here, maybe I just don't understand?"

So having a 1Trillion deficit each year, and carrying that deficit along each year, and calling cuts to proposed increases on each years budget counts as 4 trillion dollar cut? Its akin to saying "I borrow 10k each year to finance my lifestyle, so I plan to only increase my borrowing a little slower than I planned to in the future, so I am calling it a 'cut' on my spending. Sorry dude, people who fall for the "Obama is cutting spending" are the ones that do not get it. I am just trying to get people to understand that it is not a cut AT ALL. If I can say that I plan to spend 1 trillion dollars tomorrow, and then decide to only spend 500 Billion, I can't call that a 500 Billion cut. Its literally called a 'cut' for the idiots that cannot do math. I can do math, can you?

By this logic, a balanced budget over the next 10 years would be ~ (1.5Trillion x 10 years = 15 TRILLION cut.) Well, its money we didn't have anyways, how is it a cut? Stop being disingenuous.

You think the only way to be serious with a nation-sized budget with decades of damage is to try to fix it all in what, a single year?

Uh, no. But accomplishing something in a single year might make a good start.

A slow and painful death? Obama's budget will get to the right people in the house and then instantly shrederized. That does not seem like a slow and painful time. More quick and easy.... like a guillotine.

Every budget Obama has proposed has been a joke so no outrage here.

Uh, no. But accomplishing something in a single year might make a good start.

So creating a budget that would start the process, combining federal agencies for efficiency, work programs, tax incentives, etc etc etc etc doesn't count as "accomplishing something"?

I honestly don't know where the goal posts are with you - what would satisfy you that the Obama Administration is "doing something"?

Real and immediate reductions in spending. Say the deficit is now X, in my budget the deficit will immediately be X-. His budget immediately increases spending. Get it?

So.

If I understand the logic, Obama's budget raises taxes on the richest 1% by 1 billion dollars over ten years and cuts taxes on the 99% by 1 trillion dollars over the same period.

At the same time, he proposes increases spending by ten trillion dollars in 2012.

And this balances the budget, results in world peace, and ends poverty by the year 2020.

How could anyone be against it!? Who's evil enough to want children to starve?
