Comrade's budget: try, try again?

Haven't had a lot of time to write here, and not a lot of time now. But just a few thoughts.

So the Republicans got $38.5 billion cut from this year's budget, which runs to October this year. That seems like a lot of money. I mean, imagine if you had to pay off a debt of $38.5 billion by October? (Yeah, cyanide might be a viable solution.) Anyway, compared to the total the feds spend, and compared to the debt, that $38.5 billion is sort like a fire in the sun. Know what I mean? A spit in the ocean, etc. etc.

It hasn't been passed yet, either. But it has to pass by Thursday, or we'll be facing another shut down situation.

So, the Comrade already submitted a budget for 2012 with no cuts at all. He seems to think that money grows on trees. Maybe the cherry trees? Maybe that's why Reid made such a big fuss over the Cherry Blossom Festival.

In the meanwhile, Paul Ryan submitted a budget that offers some real cuts, and in entitlements, where they're needed the most. His budget doesn't raise taxes, and a lot of buttheads on the left have their panties in a twist because Ryan isn't sticking it to the rich.

Actually, Ryan's plan does make significant demands on the rich -- and on everyone else who can pay their own way. In case no one noticed, his suggestions for Medicare reform includes a kind of "means testing." That means if you can pay for your health care, you don't get any freebies. But apparently that's not good enough for the merry marxists. They want to see anyone who can pay their own way hobbled, gagged, and dangled over the side of the 12th Street Bridge in a burlap sack. That's what you get for being non-pathetic!!

Anyway, so the Comrade is supposed to be on TV tomorrow night to propose yet another budget for 2012. This one apparently addresses the issue of the nation's bankruptcy -- something he overlooked in the first try.

Let me guess, he will try to restore the so-called "Bush Tax Cuts," backtracking on that lost battle and trying for a win. He'll suggest raising the federal tax on gasoline -- I mean it's only $4.00+ a gallon now. Not enough yet to make any reasonable person go out an buy a GM Festivus or whatever it is for $40,000.00. But any real cuts? No, I doubt it. Oh, maybe he'll advise the feds to Xerox on both sides of paper. Maybe they'll save a couple hundred bucks on that. And then that silly and desperate-looking Pluff person can go on the Sunday morning shows and pitch "shared sacrifice" over that.

Somehow, this one image keeps coming to mind -- a little dog running down the street after a racing fire engine.

Guess who is who in that scenario? Who's leading and who follows? And does the little dog understand that the fire engine has a real purpose?

Save the Republic
