The Obama-Pelosi-Reid Regime tripled the national deficit in one year.
(The Captain’s Comments)
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) says spending has increased 84% under the Obama-Pelosi regime.
The Hill reported:
Republican Rep. Paul Ryan (Wis.), who is set to take over the House Budget Committee next year, said federal spending has increased a whopping 84 percent under President Obama.
The budget for the Environmental Protection Agency has increased by 124 percent under Obama, according to Ryan, who counted stimulus spending in his analysis.
Ryan and other Republicans are calling for a $100 billion cut in non-defense discretionary spending to bring it back to 2008 levels.
“There have been so many massive spending increases, 24 percent in the base budget, 84 percent when you add the stimulus,” Ryan said in an interview on Fox News Sunday.
“We have had spending on a gusher. And if borrowing and spending and taxing and spending actually created jobs and produced prosperity, we wouldn’t have all this joblessness,” he said.

Precisely why we so desperately need House Oversight hearings come Jauary 3rd. These hucksters have pushed through numerous, odorous monstrosities they like to call “historic legislation” based on bogus accounting estimates.
The sooner we “grill” the left over their mishandling of the economy the better.

I heard a rumour that Rand Paul is now claiming that he thought the term ‘Ear Marks’ was referring to them liver spots on John Mc”Canes’s” ‘Able’ but tone deaf, ears …
Rand comments: “However on the money thingie, well Ah am actually a bit of a ‘Porky Paul’ … [the rest of his comments are drowned out by loud music ...]
I’ll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around me
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
And I’ll get on my knees and pray
We don’t get fooled again
Don’t get fooled again …

Ron, the president does not vote on the budgets. Congress does. And who was running Congress in 2008?
Snerd Gronk commented:
“Who was running the Congress in 2008 ….?”
Ohhhh … ‘decision points’, ‘decision points’ … err … Gawd, give me a minute … Well if I have to be the decider and I have no veto …. or do I have a veto … have I got a veto?
Well …. I choose deferment, ‘Dick’!

Snerd: So, by extension and using your logic … As of Jan 2011, it will be the cong(R)ess’s unemployment? Cong(R)ess’s debt? … (R)ight …!?

I say cut EVERYTHING and start over. DHHS, NIS, EDU, EPA, NEA, SS, Medicare, Medicaid, Military. Bring back our troops securing countries overseas, we can certainly use them on the border, FOREIGN aid. Get back to the Constitution and fund only those things outlined in the best document ever created.
