Downsizing the Government in the Age of Obabble

The president loudly proclaimed last week that he is going to streamine the federal bureaucracy by eliminating the Commerce Department and merging six other overlapping (useless) agencies. He claimed this move would save $300 million a year or $3 billion over ten years. He failed to mention that it would save $30 billion over 100 years! It only took him a year to get around to this announcement after he mentioned it a year ago in his state of the union address. My, how time flies when you are so busy golfing and vacationing!

The Budgetcutter-in-Chief made a big deal about this cost savings move and vowed to accomplish it with or without Congressional approval. What a leader!. This $300 million in cost savings amounts to approximately TWO HOURS of our federal budget deficit (we overspend by about $4 billion a day).

The president failed to mention that since he took office he has grown the federal bureaucracy by thousands of employees with the passage of Obamanable-care. Dodd-Frank and the consumer protection acts.

Is Barack Obama a  budget cutter? He reminds me of the drunk who brags loudly how he has cut back on his whiskey consumption only to be caught drinking vodka instead. The president is still a drunken spender, Only the liberal media is buying this pile of Campaign 2012 nonsense.

The liberal media swoons over him and lets him brag about downsizing the government by a paltry $300 million a year while our budget deficit is $4 billion a day and $1.3 trillion a year.




The Obamanable-care bureaucracy...I don't see much cost savings here!
