Obama's Budget Is 'Fiscal Insanity': Sen. Gregg (Implies Obama is Communist)
CNBC ^ | Monday, February 1, 2010

Posted on 02/01/2010 8:28:09 AM PST by kristinn

President Obama's economic policies are promoting 'fiscal insanity' that is leading the nation down the path of insolvency, Sen. Judd Gregg (R)-NH told CNBC Monday.

"We're going to get ourselves into deep, deep trouble here if we continue to pursue this course of fiscal insanity, in my opinion," said Gregg, a ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee, said in a live interview.

"It's not just this year, which is the issue of stimulus," Gregg added. "It's the year after, it's the year after that and the year after, eight years out the president is projecting a trillion dollar defecit, a trillion dollars every year for the next eight years, that's not acceptable. You just cant do that to this country because you're basically taking us down the road of insolvency."

"If you have a government in place with an inherent antipathy towards the market and capitalism, and I believe this government does, I wish it weren't true, but this is the government of community organizers. They believe in social justice," said Gregg.

I think he DOES call him a communist...but he is not.

That's why we have delusional people like yourself, who unfortunately are so naive & gullible, that they vote for socialist demoRATs including the chief commie pig 0bozo, because they don't get it!!!

Obozo was born to communist parents, his grandparents were communists, his chief mentor & tutor in Hawaii, Frank Marshall Davis, was an avowed communist (and also supplied 0bozo & his grandfather with drugs & alcholol), his entire circle of associates up until 2006 when he committed to running for pres___ent were all committed radicals, socialists, including Bill Ayers & his wacko black liberation theology pastor, Jeremiah Wright, Obozo hates the free market system and advocates a complete government takeover & so-called solution to every situation in America.....

......the bastard 0bozo IS a communist & closet muzlim!!!

I think you need to retract your incredibly naive statement. We are at war with the socialists & communists in this country, led by 0bozo & the socialist demoRATs. There is no common ground with these traitors.

I don't know who the hell you think you are, but you don't have a clue about who I am, didn't read my tag line nor did you follow this thread before you shot off your ugly mouth, did you, Skippy?

And by the way, you don't know politics from Shinola, you use completely disparate politics as if they were all the same...

Gregg is retiring. The 2010 NH senate race is for an open seat.

“It would be useful to understand the size of the deficit per taxpayer.”

Answer: “For fiscal year 2009, which ended in October, the budget deficit was $1.4 trillion, or nearly 10 percent of the gross domestic product, and interest payments consumed $200 billion of taxpayers’ dollars. The national debt stands at $12.1 trillion, up from $6 trillion in 2006, or nearly $40,000 per citizen and more than $111,000 per taxpayer. It’s growing by about $1 million every 20 seconds.”

back-door reparations


That’s been my observation as well. Almost all of his actions fit this explanation.

Heard that the CAP and TAX legislation is included in this Budget.

Have the Fascist made a deal with the RINOs?

With Scott Brown’s win, Gregg has come to the political calculation that he is indeed free to speak his mind on matters he knows of what he talks, that if the previously perceived leftist voters in the suburbs of Boston in Massachussetts are ready to vote for a moderate New England Republican , then those voters in the subrubs of Boston who live in New Hampshire must be even more receptive to anti-tax anti-big government messages. I mean, those newer ‘immigrant Massholes’ in south NH were the reason that Gregg was expecting his chances of reelection to be close to impossible in 2010, at this point Gregg could have won in November easily and might be kicking himself for not holding out longer before announcing his retirement from the Senate.

He is a communist.

That is why I have called him, “Obammie the Commie” for a year and a half now.

“Gregg does NOT call Obama a Communist! It is counterproductive to attempt to label Obama in this fashion for a number of reasons. Name-calling people just doesn’t cut it with the electorate. Instead, focus on the policies. There is certainly plenty to complain about.”

I don’t know where to begin with this bunk!

This cowardly approach to our enemies (domestic enemies) will only help the hard-left (communists) to continue to work their subversion.

We cannot organize against policies, but I can get thousands to fight communism—it still exists!

Wake up, for Christ’s sake! We can’t ignore our enemies and pretend they don’t exist for the sake of an ignorant electorate. We need to define them, and then increase awareness of their agenda and the horror that will follow.

We need to name them, align the people against them, and defeat them soundly.

Then the work begins.

Then we must teach the people that freedom is perpetually under threat by all shades of collectivism.

I’m so sick of the whiners, and the oh-so pragmatic nay-sayers and poo-poo-ers when it comes to standing up against the hard left!

Have they not done enough damage yet?

When do we call them what they are, if not now?

Do you require tanks rolling down Pennsylvania Ave, followed by goose-stepping members of our new National Security Force?

Is that what you’re waiting for?

It’s time man-up and look these people in the eye and fight them!

It’s not time to piss down our leg at the thought of the electorate not understanding that their paychecks are smaller, or they don’t have a job, their freedoms are threatened, their neighbors are losing their home, their savings is dwindling, and on, and on....C’MON!

These people are communists, or communists never existed.

The only thing stopping them from cracking down like their historical comrades is our system, with anti-tyrant built-in, and people like me who would shoot back.

Name them, or they’re free to roam in our ‘house’ like ghosts. We cannot fight ghosts, these people are certainly alive and certainly communists.

I have seen many in this forum make a case that Obama and Pelosi much better fit the mold of Fascism. I would have to agree with that, but what difference does it make and why should anybody expend energy in differentiating between the Communism and Fascism?

Ultimately, those in power who adhere to these ideologies are probably too smart to actually believe them. Most of the people I talk to can’t decide whether Obama is ideologically based or is simply practicing Chicago style politics.

The point is that they have no concern about the damage they do to free markets and have no concern about using their considerable power to run roughshod over the U.S. Constitution. Therefore, they are socialists and “statists”.

Bunk? Hardly. Cowardly? Not at all. I had no compunction at all in the 1960’s calling Alger Hiss a Communist since there was clear evidence that he had “attended the meetings”. And I took lots of grief doing it.

Why don’t you train your “guns” on the actual enemy for now?

“Most of the people I talk to can’t decide whether Obama is ideologically based or is simply practicing Chicago style politics.”

How is a communist going to act in our White House? Will he act like Stalin, Lenin, Mao, Pol Pot, Kim Jong Il? Not a chance. This is collectivism by stealth, aided by the denial of far too many spoiled and frightened little boys and girls in this country.

What about his statements?
What about his associations?
What about his books? I’ve read them, have your undecided people?
What about actions?

“Hmmm...I wonder, is Barack Hussein 0bama an idealog? Geez, I just don’t know, you know, I just can’t tell.”

We can d*ck-around, and play “hot potato” with the term “communist” only so long and then we have to face reality that they are intent on destroying our way of life using all of the fundamentals of that murderous ideology.

These sure as hell aren’t prius driving, yogurt-eating liberals.

“clear evidence that he had “attended the meetings”

Where did Mr. 0bama begin his political career?
Whose anti-American church did he attend for twenty years?
How many communists are in his den in DC?

I mean, if you believe it begins and ends with Van Jones, man, C’mon!

It would be far more comfortable to fool myself into believing that, “Geez, everything is OK, they can’t be commies, not in this country.”

I’d rather err on the side of too much caution than to hand my children’s lives over to the hard-left.

I was raised around Russians growing up and I can tell you that Americans are blind little children, horribly lost in the fog right now.

We had better identify our enemy and give him a bloody nose here, pretty quick, because the speed and momentum of this nightmare train only increases with time.

“Why don’t you train your “guns” on the actual enemy for now?”

This is exactly what I want Americans to do.

I should have said this earlier, but I meant “you” in the general sense, not “you”, the_Watchman. I’m not trying to attack you, but the stubborn denial I am witnessing just about everywhere.

I’m not very good at well-tempered delivery of passionate beliefs. It’s a flaw of mine, to be sure.

Well...Actually Robin Hood stole from the government to give back to the people what had been originally stolen from the people by the government in the first place.

The free market did not destroy our public school system and graduate (or fail to graduate) generations of civically and financially illiterate citizens, the government did.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Government schools were a failure from the moment they opened in the mid-1800s. Government schools have **always** taught socialism because government school **ARE** socialism! Remember please that socialism can not be fixed.

Simply by attending children learn that the government will use the threat of police action to collect the money to pay for something their parents want tuition-FREE!. And...Their teachers teach them that it is their **right** to have the government do this!!!

Well?...If the government can take money from a neighbor to pay for schooling why not a thousand other socialist programs???? !!!

Within one to two generations of socialist-funded government schools we had:

**The IRS
** The direct election of Senators
** The feminist movement
** The failed League of Nations followed by the abominable U.N.
** The federal reserve
** FDR for **FOUR** terms and his New Deal
** Johnson's Great Society
** Infiltration to the highest levels of our government with communists.
** Unions
** Abolishment of the gold standard
** The Warren Court
** And...Thousands of socialist programs and offices

Gee! Aren't government schools great. We got all of the above and that is when government schools were considered to be functioning!

The truth is that government schools, its curriculum, and teacher training has ***always** be in the control of the progressives. It first started with a generic watered down Christianity that would be acceptable to the majority. It has moved further and further to the left and more and more secular with each passing decade. By the time I was in high school ( early 60s) we were fed and entirely godless and secular worldview with 3 minutes of a scripture verse and the Lord's Prayer in the morning. Oh wow! So that did anything to counteract the continuous secularism that was force fed to the students?

I am responding the way I am because your comment suggests that at one time the government schools were not broken and therefore they can be fixed. NO NO NO!!! They have always been socialist and the movement has always been in the direction of more and more secularism and more and more progressivism.
