Today President Obama will deliver his whopping $4 trillion budget to Congress.
President Barack Obama sent Congress a record $4 trillion budget Monday that would boost taxes on higher-income Americans and corporations, pushing past tight federal spending caps to fund an ambitious public works program and provide middle-class tax relief.
Obama's budget, which will set off months of wrangling in Congress, proposes spending $4 trillion — $3.999 trillion before rounding — in the 2016 budget year that begins Oct. 1. That's a 6.4 percent increase over estimated spending this year, projecting that the deficit will decline to $474 billion.
POLITICO is calling it "Barack Obama's Have-It-All Budget," and the reality is, it's dead on arrival when it reaches Capitol Hill. Regardless, President Obama is putting on a show and will pander to his far left base by stirring up controversy over funding measures as debate on budget issues continues over the next few weeks.
Looking back on Obama's tenure as President, it's important to note just how far-left the vast majority of his budget proposals have been over the years, which is exactly why only one of them has passed and the rest have been roundly defeated, often unanimously, by Democrats and Republicans. In 2012, Obama's budget was defeated by the Democrat controlled Senate 97-0. In 2013, his budget was defeated 99-0.
When the president fear mongers over Republicans blocking his $4 trillion spending plan and when he accuses the GOP of being unwilling to compromise, keep in mind he was never willing to come half way on any of the issues in the first place, this time or in the past.
He's going for the tri-fecta.
His”budgets” aren’t for fiscal management. They are strictly for political purposes.
It is all to keep his radical-leftist-Commie handlers and supports “happy” with his actions.
It shows any thinking voter what the radical Rats are all about.
Can you say, “DOA”?
This is what happens when you write up your budget proposals on the back of a cocktail napkin.
Has he had a budget ever, get a single vote?
Even after this turd nightmare is gone, we’ll still have the wreckage with which to deal.
Never loathed anyone as much as this POS. (with all due respect to excrement)
From what I’ve been reading,if it’s anywhere close to the truth,we’ll still be laboring under this dictator after he’s supposed to be long gone. And paying for his retirement;that’s what really rubs salt into the wounds.
The $$$$$$$$$ printing presses are running on overtime. Speed that printing up a bit and ... PRESO!!! ... the national debt gets paid off.
Save your coins, folks; paper won't cut it.
I like to use the analogy of Jimmy Carter, we are still paying for his screw ups from 35 years ago with Iran. We will be doing the same with Dear Leader and ISIS for generations. Pray.
