Obamanomics

Obama unveils $3.83T budget with massive deficits
President Barack Obama sent Congress a $3.83 trillion budget on Monday that would pour more money into the fight against high unemployment, boost taxes on the wealthy and freeze spending for a wide swath of government programs.

The deficit for this year would surge to a record-breaking $1.56 trillion, topping last year’s then unprecedented $1.41 trillion gap. The deficit would remain above $1 trillion in 2011 although the president proposed to institute a three-year budget freeze on a variety of programs outside of the military and homeland security.

This lies somewhere between idiocy and shameless pandering. The pandering is evidenced in the obscene something-for-everyone budget which attempts to buy votes by sprinkling money on every special interest you’ve ever heard of. The idiocy comes from running a deficit on one hand and from presuming to create jobs on the other. In fact, government does not have the power to create jobs, because government has nothing which it doesn’t take from its people. Government only has the power to redirect jobs. Efficient, private-sector jobs must be destroyed so that in-efficient, politically motivated, public-sector jobs might be created.

Attack dogs unleashed in Ron Paul’s home district

From a mailing:

Seven candidates have filed to run against me. These candidates include three Republicans in my own primary on March 2, and they will stop at nothing to tear down and destroy all we have worked for.

Please read some of the quotes my opponents have been throwing at me:

“(Ron Paul) wants to cut spending on our military industrial complex because he believes in a weaker foreign policy.”

“Ron Paul has become a complete nutcase conspiratorialist quasi-Anti-Semitic leftwing American-hating nutball.”

“Ron Paul is out of touch with this district and it is time for him to move on…Dr. No Must Go!”

These quotes come directly from my opponents’ campaign literature and websites. We cannot let these attacks stand.

I plan to fight back and will mount an aggressive campaign. Carol, my family and my staff are already working very hard, but I need your immediate support.

Running for U.S. Congress in Wisconsin’s 2nd district.

My name is Tim Nerenz, and I want to be your Congressman.

Not your mommy. Not your daddy. Not your doctor, banker, car salesman, teacher, pastor, union steward, or weather forecaster.

. . . .

Less government and more choices: that’s my answer, what is your question?

This isn’t my district (or state), but I sent him a modest donation. Hope you do the same.
