Dear Ruler is just getting started … BOHICA!   You just read a statement I would love to see the leaders of the Republican Party issue (yeah, I know … in my dreams).  Now take a look at what Obama had to say earlier this week:

“We can’t simply cut our way to prosperity. Cutting spending has to go hand-in-hand with further reforms to our tax code so that the wealthiest corporations and individuals can’t take advantage of loopholes and deductions that aren’t available to most Americans. And we can’t keep cutting things like basic research and new technology and still expect to succeed in a 21st century economy. So we’re going to have to continue to move forward in deficit reduction, but we have to do it in a balanced way, making sure that we are growing even as we get a handle on our spending.”

Balanced way?  Obama’s balanced way is spending increases and tax increases.  He calls that “balanced,” and the Media Party, of course, will go along with that assessment. 

A few things for you to consider…

• In order for Obama to be upset about cutting our way to prosperity, you actually have to CUT things.

• I would like for Caesar Obammus to explain to the American public when the last time in history a nation TAXED and SPENT its way to prosperity.  Any example will do.

• Continuing to “move forward in deficit reduction” implies that we’ve already moved forward.  Last time I looked, Dear Ruler has added $6 trillion to our national debt and enjoyed $1+ trillion deficits each year of his first term.

• Every loophole used by corporations and wealthy people is legal and available to any other American or corporation.

• Apparently the fiscal cliff agreement of a 41:1 ratio of tax increases to spending cuts is not “balanced” enough for Dear Ruler.

• It’s odd that Obama expresses concern about economic growth when he just increased taxes on the very people who invest in our economy and create jobs.
