3.6 Trillion dollars??? WTF

Hello Bloggers and Blog readers, My name is LibertyCatalyst, I'm starting a blog approaching the things that make me mad in the world of politics. Of course, I won't always be negative, Unlike the media, I'd rather hear and report good news. So keep an eye on my page, maybe we can agree on stuff, maybe we'll completely be at disagreement, but either way I'd love to hear from you, and possibly talk out ideas and debate.


I couldn't have picked a better time to launch my blog. At this very moment, I am watching CNN, watching a discussion on Obama's new budget plan, which is supposed to bring down the deficit and help stabilize the economy. I cannot see how one could even think to stabilize anything that is in the red by spending more.
To fill you in, (just in case you don't know what this guy's doing with our money) there is a current bill going through the house and senate, that promotes a 3.6 trillion dollar budget. Considering the economy in its current state, and the fact that our dollar is pretty much worthless, we're looking at a much larger problem than it had to be.
One of my biggest issues relies in taxation. This budget is promising to repeal tax cuts for wealthy Americans. This sentence alone is confusing. What it appears to be, is that the government is going to take more money from those who make more, and not as much from those who don't make much. I believe in a across the board tax thats equal, or no income tax at all. Either is fantastic in my eyes. This bill is nothing but Big Government spending.
What Upsets me more is that Republicans are arrogant enough to call this "the return of Big Government". Do they remember the last 8 years? Spending was through the roof. With this bill, I predict it will only get worse.
Republicans and Democrats need to quit tis facade, telling us that we have to choose between two ideologically different styles. In my eyes, they are both the same thing, Big Government spenders, wasting our money instead of doing good with it.

One last gripe: I don't know who made the commercial, I'm going to guess and say Republicans, where it mentions the bailout bill that was just recently signed by Obama. It starts by saying you'd have to spend $1,000,000 a day for 2000 years to even come close to the ammount that bill spent. I was thinking, "yeah! this is right!" until the line "Just think about it, that could start from say, the day Jesus was born". At that point, I was done. There is no quicker way to scare people away from your opinion than to throw religion into it. Give it up, and just give facts, not fictitious characters and fictitious dates.

That's all for today,
LibertyCatalyst
