Like his last budget that was soundly defeated in Congress on a bipartisan basis, this one is DOA. Whilst he repeats the mistakes of FDR by raising taxes in the midst of an economic downturn while gutting the military and homeland security and increasing the budgets of the worthless and destructive federal agencies like education, energy and labor.

Some highlights.....or lowlights if you actually love this country.

1. It will add $3T more to the national debt (in addition to the $5.5T he has already added)
2. Federal spending increases by half a trillion over the next four years
3. Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and Obamacare will consume 18% of our gross domestic product in the next few decades.
4. Basically ignores almost every proposal by his own deficit commission.

It is obvious he is not serious about anything resembling fiscal sanity and even Dems in Congress, with the exception of the notable looney left wing nut libtards and the one socialist, will reject this abject nonsense.
