Obama Seeks 29 New Programs: ‘Nothing I’m Proposing Should Increase Deficit by Single Dime’ February 13, 2013 By Terence P. Jeffrey
(CNSNews.com) - President Barack Obama said in his State of the Union Address on Tuesday night that nothing he was proposing in the speech would “increase our deficit by a single dime.” He then proposed at least 29 new government programs.
“Tonight, I’ll lay out additional proposals that are fully paid for and fully consistent with the budget framework both parties agreed to just 18 months ago,” said Obama. “Let me repeat: Nothing I’m proposing tonight should increase our deficit by a single dime.”
n fiscal year 2008, the year before Obama took office, federal spending was $2.98 trillion, according to the White House Office of Management and Budget. In fiscal 2013, the current year, OMB estimates federal spending will be $3.80 trillion--an increase of 27.5 percent.

Not a single dime, that’s absolutely true.
Those programs will cost an entire mountain of dimes.
Didn't he say that about Obamacare???
Obama spent the evening lying about his objectives and the cause and effect resulting from his programs.
How does anyone take him seriously anymore?
MSM
If his purple lips are movin’, he’s lyin’. Ignore him, but keep a close eye on every dollar in your wallet.
translation: Due to increasing costs of base metals I am ordering the US Mint to discontinue the production of dimes.
A congenital liar. A psychopath.
Yeah, riiiiiight.
‘Should’ doesn’t mean WON’T!
“And no couples earning less than $250,000 dollars a year will see one dime of an increase in their taxes under my plan.” -BHO
A trillion dollars in dimes would actually probably rival the mass of the earth.
It’s fortunate for Liberals that America currently claims a toothless media, the least informed and most appallingly ill-educated voters in our history... so this kind of criminal malfeasance and calculated treason can be considered and openly proposed by a sitting ‘President’, without fear of censure.
If Liberals can’t accomplish their plan to dismantle and deface this country in THIS go-around, then they never will!!!
He didn’t say it wouldn’t cost dollars though. Many, many dollars. Triplespeak. The leadup. The lie. The aftermath. None of it good.
Nothing I’m proposing tonight should increase our deficit by a single dime.”
Telling the truth for a change. It will increase it by 100 gazillion dimes.
geek that I am, I had to go out and check on my off-the-cuff claim...
Mass of the earth ~ 6e27 grams
Mass of moon ~ 7e25 grams
Mass of dime ~2.5 grams
1T dollars in dimes ~ 2.5e14 grams (not even close)
I saw an interesting show about the value of the earth a few weeks back. It started with the most valuable things like platinum and gold and estimated the amounts on the earth for their total value. The greatest value of the earth is in the form of things like iron, granite, limestone etc but those things are kinda like money in zimbabwe.
