If Obama is really concerned about cutting the deficit, he should take lessons from a certain former Governor
Just caught this while reading another post on the blog Conservatives4Palin; it speaks to do things our mainstream media has failed to explore (well, on the former, they are beginning to address said failure), Barack Obama’s rhetoric and Sarah Palin’s record.
Even now, after having presided over massive increases in the federal deficits, the Democrat still decries out-of-control federal spending. During the campaign, he had promised us a “net spending cut”, matching an increase in one program with a cut in another. Well, Mrs. Palin could teach him a thing or two about spending cuts. Between 2007 (the last state budget signed by her predecessor Frank Murkowski) and 2010 ( the last budget she signed as Governor), she cut spending by ”whopping 9.5% or $1,127,400,000”
Governor Murkowski’s last budget FY2007: $11,697,400,000
Governor Palin’s latest budget FY2010: $10,570,000,000
That is, she didn’t just cut spending in inflation-adjusted dollars, she cut it in real dollars. With record deficits, we could use some fiscal discipline like that in our nation’s capital.

Meanwhile, Bareback Obama is out claiming that flushing another $200 Billion we don’t have down the Stimulus rat-hole doesn’t increase the National Debt.

V the K:
There are two national debts: the one created by Republicans which the Democrats are forced to service and the one created by Obama which has a twelve trillion dollar surplus. So far, Obama has been forced to service the Republican debt which does not count against him and he has added a trillion dollar surplus to his debt account every three weeks or so. He can always fall back on his surplus if necessary. Also, he can impute unfunded income and print money to back it.
Accounting, my friend, is not for the literal minded. .
