Obama Pushes Spend Plan In Vegas After Creating Budget Deficit Comm.

Obama tells us all not to go to Vegas, but takes his own spending out of control. Times are tough. Unemployment is in double digits in many states, including 13% in Nevada and 12% in California. And Barrack Obama seems to have pulled a complete 180.

The Economy

Earlier in the month of February, he had made his second verbal assault on the city of Las Vegas. After telling people that you don’t go to Vegas with the money you intend to use for college, the casinos reported a loss of $6.8 billion for the year 2009. But what is Obama doing but gambling on our future? Honestly. The government is proposing spending of more than $3.7 trillion in Fiscal Year 2010, and that number is outrageous. The man is literally spending $1.4 trillion that he doesn’t have every single year.

In this economy, we can’t have men and women who earn $23,000 a year spending $37,000 a year. It’s simply not possible. Why then are we giving a pass to Mr. Obama instead of making the government cut out pork projects? He’s taking the ultimate gamble and not even giving us a pretty Keno waitress and some free drinks.

 

A 180 On Vegas

Times are tough, yet Obama doesn’t seem to get it. He tells everyone not to go to Las Vegas with money they intended to spend on college, yet he traveled there to help raise $750 million for Harry Reid, who is already in a tough situation between the 13% unemployment and the battering of the city by the Commander in Chief. If Obama thinks this way of our ability to be fiscally responsible, maybe we need to tell him at the ballot box in 2010 and 2012 what we think of him being able to balance the budget.
