The “net spending cut” will come next year or the year after (probably next year) when Obama asks TARP people for the money back, and suddenly has a “surplus” that didn’t really exist in the first place.

Squid,

President Obama’s invented ‘Quantum Economics’ “it could have been so much worse, but observing what we’ve done changes the result, so stop watching me spend money, so it will work!”

Obama, having no principles, will say whatever he thinks is popular. Then do whatever he thinks is popular. The two have no relation other than the winds of public opinion.

I think it’s like with the millions of jobs he’s “created or saved.” Just think about how much higher the deficit *could* be!

Is this one of those questions that we get: ‘The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind…’?

Because this Administration is just about up to a full song’s worth now.

Mookie is right. He said “we’ve” been living beyond our means, the we is us.

Well yes, the Ogabe administration has made some spending cuts, specifically to the vetting office which does background checks on his appointees.

Obviously.

I’m sure Obama just meant he was going to cut spending only on constitutionally mandated projects… like Defense.

I think what President Unicorn meant is that we’re going to spend less on nets during his misrule, though the bureaucrats at the Federal Department of Nets, Webs and Meshes will all be transferred into the important Agency for Digging Big-Ass Holes to Pour Money Into.

But there is no doubt that we’ve been living beyond our means and we’re going to have to make some adjustments.

When do the Democrats finally take responsibility for their binge spending? It is not just Obummer who has OCD.

I disagree with one statement in the article and that is claiming that the “stimulus” was Keynesian. I would say that this is not accurate because Keynes did not advocate spending on pork projects. Rather, he was writing about infrastructure projects and putting people to work in other ways, as well as some welfare to tide people over. You have to take into consideration the poor state of the English welfare system in the Nineteenth and early Twentieth centuries to get the point about when welfare is required to tide people over.

What is not Keynesian is the notion that one has an entitlement to welfare a la Paula who wants to kill people who do not agree with her point of view.
