A Jim Mora Moment

When I see Democrats talk about a budget, I want to have my own little meltdown. Yes a public curse laden meltdown.  BUDGET, BUDGET you want to ask me about our BUDGET? The damned Democratic Senate has not voted on a budget since the current President assumed office.  This is the latest email received from the White House.....
Weekly Address: The President's Budget Ensures Opportunity for All Hardworking Americans
In this week's address, the President highlighted the important differences between the budget he's put forward -- built on opportunity for all -- and the budget House Republicans are advocating for, which stacks the deck against the middle class.
While the President is focused on building lasting economic security and ensuring that hardworking Americans have the opportunity to get ahead, Republicans are advancing the same old top-down approach of cutting taxes for the wealthiest Americans and slashing important investments in education, infrastructure, and research and development.
Republicans to try to propose budgets that will appease the progressives of the Democratic party. Democrats complain about "top down" Republican strategies designed to cushion the lives of the wealthiest persons (presumably Democrats). The Democrats also always complain that the Republicans slash money for education, destroy infrastructure plans ans thwart research intended to make the lives of welfare mothers better.  When the President brings up the subject of BUDGET, the persons in whatever room he is at should be run like they've been exposed to Ebola.  Run because the next words that are about to come out of his mouth will be misleading dishonest lies.

Lets talk about some of the President's comments on the back end.
Top down tax cutting: The president does not believe in tax cuts of any sort; he is instead in favor of providing support in grant form to industries that are premature in development. I remind you of Solyndra.
Wealthiest Americans: The income gap has significantly grown in the last 6 years, this is because the Fed is providing cheap money that the banks are not loaning, money is overheating the stock market.
Investments in Education: What the hell does that mean anyway, what has the President done for education in the last years, dump on NCLB?
Investments in Infrastructure:  When he was spreading out the TARP pile he talked incessantly about shovel ready jobs, few of which ever materializes because shovel ready jobs would require the approval of the environmental wing of the progressives who got him elected.  Heck, even the Keystone Pipeline, a private capital venture has been block with bureaucratic nonsense.
Investments in R&D:  Lets look at the ACA, by itself investment in medical research is coming to a screeching halt. In other businesses you see corporation holding back on applying capital reserves, stagnating the economy to less than 2% annual growth rate.
BUDGET!
BUDGET!
give me a break
