Obama Spending Trends Charted

So, would President Obama’s budget plan really increase deficit spending much more than other modern presidents? Well, yeah, to the tune of seven times more, measured as a percentage of economic output, than under President Kennedy over 45 years ago

The 'GIVE ACT' should be called the 'TAKE ACT'

The federal government taking more power

President Obama while campaigning in Colorado Springs made the mistake of revealing his intentions to create a "civilian national security force which, candidate Obama said "would be just as powerful and well-funded as the U.S. military."

That vision is coming into focus with the passage of The bill, HR 1388: The Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act, otherwise known as the "GIVE Act," was passed in the House by a vote of 321-105 and then the Senate voted closure on the motion to proceed by a margin of 74-14; making ultimate passage likely since Republicans have abandoned their role as a sensible "loyal opposition."

The Canada Free Press wrote: "‘volunteerism that kept America running since the days of its founding' would be "wiped out with the stroke of a pen."

For consumers, cap and trade means more expensive gasoline and electricity as well as net job losses in energy-dependent sectors. Senator Lieberman himself concedes costs into the hundreds of billions of dollars. And as the Congressional Budget Office has noted, such energy cost increases act as a regressive tax on the poor

Someone Has to Stop Obamanomics Now

I think the Motley Fool is right on the money.

The party's over, people. President Obama's economic plans are becoming more and more worrisome. These plans include throwing around astronomical sums of money and taking away a lot of incentive for businesses and entrepreneurs to do exactly what we so desperately need them to do right now.

Government doesn't make money -- it takes money and redirects it, and the Obama administration is enthusiastically following the Bush administration's lead in greatly increasing the size of government and massive government spending. All this is happening even as more businesses fail and jobs disappear.
