Well, now it starts
Hey Folks,
You heard it here first - long ago: Monkey Boy-George worships Ronnie Raygun more than his own father and (if truth be known) his "Higher Father"
Ronnie, his role model, spent the country into the poorhouse in order to thwart spending on the mass of American citizens. He spent like a drunken sailor, taking care of his pals; and when the Dems came to power, claimed 1) there wasn't any money for the people and, indeed, 2) the people would have to sacrifice by having their programs cut.
Long ago, I said Duh-bya was doing the same thing: tax cuts for the rich, a trillion or more thrown down the Iraq oil hole, sweetheart deals with his corporate cronies, balooning the deficit. I said then that he was emulating Raygun and that the day would come when he'd cry: "1) there isn't any money for the people and 2) the people will have to sacrifice by having their programs cut (their "entitlements").
Well, read it and weep:
Burden Set to Shift On Balanced Budget
Bush Likely to Force Democrats' Hand
By Lori Montgomery and Nell Henderson
Washington Post
January 16, 2007
When he takes the House rostrum next week for the State of the Union address, President Bush will list among his goals a balanced federal budget, a shift for a president who has presided over record deficits while aggressively cutting taxes.
Politically, analysts say, the president is calling the bluff of Democrats, who won control of Congress in part by accusing Bush of reckless fiscal policies. While Bush now shares the Democrats' goal to erase the deficit by 2012, the politically perilous work of making that happen -- cutting spending or raising taxes -- falls to the Democratic-run Congress.
"The Democrats have assailed deficits under President Bush. The White House is telling Democrats to walk the walk," said Brian M. Riedl, a budget analyst at the conservative Heritage Foundation.
Budget experts and economists from across the political spectrum, including some who worked in the Bush White House, say that Bush is unlikely to offer real concessions toward a balanced budget in the plan he delivers to Congress next month.
. . .
This month, Bush cited the "challenges" of entitlement spending as a factor in his decision to offer a balanced budget plan. Analysts said forcing the government to live within its means in the short term would lend credibility to the president's campaign to address the entitlement problem during his final years in office.
What did I tell you, Folks??
Now let's wait and see how long it takes for anyone in the media to point out what I just went over.
