The Two Faces Of Barack

On one hand, Barack is doing everything he can to reduce our debt:
President Barack Obama sought on Tuesday to show he was serious about improving the U.S. budget picture as he called on Congress to pass new limits on tax cuts and spending programs to avoid adding to deficits.

On the other hand, he's gotta borrow a bunch of money indefinitely for his health care debacle:
President Barack Obama on Tuesday proposed budget rules that would allow Congress to borrow tens of billions of dollars and put the nation deeper in debt to jump-start the administration's emerging health care overhaul.

Yeah? Who didn't see this one coming?
I've been predicting this for like... a year.


It would carve out about $2.5 trillion worth of exemptions for Obama's priorities over the next decade. His health care reform plan also would get a green light to run big deficits in its early years. But over a decade, Congress would have to come up with money to cover those early year deficits.

Okay. So Barack's health care plan to save us billions starts with putting us into even more debt.

C'mon everyone. You're not that stupid.
