"Clown Prince" Weekly Blather; April 16th

    This week, I laid out my plan for our fiscal future. It’s a balanced plan that reduces spending and brings down the deficit, putting America back on track toward paying down our debt.  We know why this challenge is so critical. If we don’t act, a rising tide of borrowing will damage our economy, costing us jobs and risking our future prosperity by sticking our children with the bill.  At the same time, we have to take a balanced approach to reducing our deficit – an approach that protects the middle class, our commitments to seniors, and job-creating investments in things like education and clean energy. What’s required is an approach that draws support from both parties, and one that’s based on the values of shared responsibility and shared prosperity.
[What I'm not telling you: That blather opportunity was no more a budget proposal than you are a six-legged horse!!  It was the official blatherish kick-off of the "Campaign of Fluff-Redux!!"  If anyone truly listened to all that blather; they'd find that the only true proposal is a significant tax increase for the 46% of Americans still working. I realize that the 'rich' among us have access to greater tax breaks than the rest of the citizens-don't you think they deserve them?  I think they do; they create and save most of the jobs in the United States.  Soros does not think they deserve any tax breaks at all; he (much like myself) sees the destruction of the economic viability of America as a positive to our one-world governance philosophy.  Destroying the ability of 'rich' Americans to create and preserve jobs as one of the best ways to inturn, destroy American economic viability. 
    George suggested I change the tone and content of my blather during future campaign appearances.  During the "Campaign of Fluff-One,"  the owe-bamacRATs, the negros and the 'KoolAid drinkers' swallowed all that bullshit and non-information,  I pedalled!!   Our policies caused a significant upheaval in various segments of the general public; giving rise to the 'Tea Party' movement as well as causing my sub-terrainian approval numbers!!   Continuation of the TARP  bailouts, the $787Billion PORKulus bill, down to the $7,500 federal subsidy for the purchase of electric vehicles, clearly illustrates my protection (read: contempt) of the middle-class!!  These--and their future generations--are the poor schlubs that'll have to pay for all our new give-away programs.]    Now, one plan put forward by some Republicans in the House of Representatives aims to reduce our deficit by $4 trillion over the next ten years. But while I think their goal is worthy, I believe their vision is wrong for America.  It’s a vision that says at a time when other nations are hustling to out-compete us for the jobs and businesses of tomorrow, we have to make drastic cuts in education, infrastructure, and clean energy – the very investments we need to win that competition and get those jobs.  It’s a vision that says that in order to reduce the deficit, we have to end Medicare as we know it, and make cuts to Medicaid that would leave millions of seniors, poor children, and Americans with disabilities without the care they need.
But even as this plan proposes these drastic cuts, it would also give $1 trillion in tax breaks to the wealthiest 2% of Americans – an extra $200,000 for every millionaire and billionaire in the country.   I don’t think that’s right. I don’t think it’s right to ask seniors to pay thousands more for health care, or ask students to postpone college, just so we don’t have to ask those who have prospered so much in this land of opportunity to give back a little more.
[What I'm not telling you:   Any clear-thinking American can see that our use of the word 'investment' is synonymous with 'spending!'  As with most fascists, I have to demogogue any proposal from the conservatives; changes to Medicare/Medicaid; spending reductions in education, infrastructure and clean energy.  If Soros and I were to be honest, we'd see that education funding is nothing more than 'throwing good money after bad'-down a rathole!!   The same goes for the 'infrastructure' category--we don't just want to repair and refurbish deteriorating roads and bridges--we're planning to build more 'bridges-to-nowhere' as well unnecessary roads to the aforementioned bridges!!  "Clean energy" is the 'hub of my ruler's wheel!'  Although Soros and I have had limited success in the 'clean energy' category, we continue to strive toward the goal of making all fossil-fuel based energy sources unaffordable!!  My appointed fascists in the EPA management are accomplishing Soros' goals with their regulations limiting anything and everything beneficial to the middle-class.  The wonderful thing about these regulations--they don't have to  secure  Congressional approval!!]    To restore fiscal responsibility, we all need to share in the sacrifice – but we don’t have to sacrifice the America we believe in.  That’s why I’ve proposed a balanced approach that matches that $4 trillion in deficit reduction. It’s an approach that combs the entire budget for savings, and asks everyone to do their part. And I’ve called on Democrats and Republicans to join me in this effort – to put aside their differences to help America meet this challenge. That’s how we’ve balanced our budget before, and it’s how we’ll succeed again.  We’ll build on the savings we made from last week’s bipartisan budget agreement, while protecting the job-creating investments that are critical to our future.  We’ll find additional savings in our defense budget. Over the last two years, the Secretary of Defense has taken on wasteful spending that does nothing to protect our troops or our nation, saving $400 billion in current and future spending. I believe we can do that again.  We’ll reduce health care spending, and strengthen Medicare and Medicaid through common-sense reforms that will get rid of wasteful subsidies and increase efficiency.   We’ll reduce spending in our tax code with tax reform that’s fair and simple – so that the amount of taxes you pay doesn’t depend on how clever an accountant you can afford. And we should end the tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, too. Because people like me don’t need another tax cut.
[What I'm not telling you:   Those differences I'm asking be set aside are those between fascism and constitutionalism; differences that are truly on opposite ends of the political spectrum!!  While Rep Ryan's "Path to Prosperity" budget proposal provides definite timelines, my proposals do not;  I suggest the same $4 Trillion in reductions--without the constraints of time!  How cleaver that Soros is to suggest it!!  More Soros cleaverness:  Keep hammering the American public with 'health care savings.'  Just as "Slick-Willie" Clinton has proven time-and-again, a lie told often enough becomes the truth!!  Reformation of the tax code has 'come late to the table!'  Had it been done ten years ago, the IRS would have caught people like Charlie Rangel and 'Turbo-Tax' Tim Guethner--prominent tax cheats--early enough to exact the same severe penalties they apply to the middle-class taxpayer who 'fudges' on his taxes!!  The sentence: "Because people like me don't need another tax cut;" applies more to me--a member of the 'idle rich'--than to the 'productive rich.'  Being as lazy and inept as I am, I don't even write my own books; I leave that task to people like 'Billy' Ayers-the untried, unconvicted bomber.  The 'productive rich' are  necessary to the American economic fabric, providing the necessary jobs and the necessary investment (the true definition, not mine-spending) to continue productivity.]
    So that’s my approach to reduce the deficit by $4 trillion over the next 12 years while protecting the middle class, keeping our promise to seniors, and securing our investments in our future. I hope you’ll check it out for yourself on WhiteHouse.gov. And while you’re there, you can also find what we’re calling the taxpayer receipt. For the first time ever, there’s a way for you to see exactly how and where your tax dollars are spent, and what’s really at stake in this debate.  Going forward, Democrats and Republicans in Washington will have our differences, some of them strong. But you expect us to bridge those differences. You expect us to work together and get this done. And I believe we can. I believe we can live within our means and live up to the values we share as Americans. And in the weeks to come, I’ll work with anyone who’s willing to get it done.
[What I'm not telling you:  As with all my previous blatherisms; with the "Campaign of Fluff-One" and with the "Campaign of Fluff-Redux,"  every spoken and written word is subject to change, depending on Soros' whims. What you read on any given day, is not necessarily the applicable the following day!  At the end of the day; my regime--at Soros' suggestion--will continue to kick the budgetary can down the road; a testiment to my lack of knowledge of economics, my lack of leadership; my lack of experience!]
