Sorry--I was just messing with you. But, that's not really true. Obama wants more revenues and spending cuts both. That's where the "balanced approach" comes from. And yes, he does advocate some increased one time only spending. The economy is still weak and, more than anything, we need to create jobs. If you get people working a lot of the defict problem goes away.

No worries. I do understand that the feds do need to spend something to keep the economy afloat, but I think where he's put that $$ in that past was misguided ($90 Billion in Green jobs that hasn't created any jobs)...I'm at least glad that the spending problem is Front and Center in the media's eye. Although their message usually gets warped in the delivery, I'm glad people are at least talking about it....I'm actually fine w/ us 'going over the cliff'.... spending cuts, tax hikes and all....I think many (myself included) get carried away on the 'what if's'.... If this isn't resolved, I'm inclined to think it we'll be affected like Y2K....

............"Your tax hike is spent before it’s even collected. Congratulations...suckers."
Your Natural Truth for today:
For every 1.65 employed persons in the private sector, 1 person receives welfare assistance
For every 1.25 employed persons in the private sector, 1 person receives welfare assistance or works for the government.
110 million privately employed workers; 88 million welfare recipients and government workers and rising rapidly.
How is this possible? How can four American workers be paying THREE people either through welfare or a government job?
It’s simple: Debt. Your taxes plus $1.1 trillion in borrowed money this year will write those checks. And as long as the spending stays this high—about 25 percent of every dollar generated by the American economy being spent by Washington—talk of tax hikes is meaningless.
Obama’s tax hikes will, according to the White House, generate maybe $80 billion a year. Obama’s deficit IN OCTOBER ALONE was $120 billion. And President Obama has no serious plans for real spending cuts.
What happens the day after you cave and give the Obama White House a tax hike? All of these government workers go back to work—soon (according to President Obama) to be joined by more government workers. All the folks on welfare stay on welfare. No plans for economic growth and job creation.
Your tax hike is spent before it’s even collected. Congratulations...suckers.
