Busy, busy, busy right now…but just wanted to mention Obama’s absurd waste of breath speech yesterday. Especially the unbelievable Spending Reductions in the Tax Code phrasing. Which was simply Obama’s way of avoiding having to come out and call them exactly what they are: tax raises. On every-frick’n body.
As Bryan Preston puts it;
Love ‘em or hate ‘em, cutting someone’s tax rate does not equal an increase in spending, in the tax code or anywhere else. It’s simply money the government doesn’t take in. Therefore, getting rid of their tax cut does not equal eliminating a “spending reduction” in the tax code. Or anywhere else.
I’d like to commend President Obama for his backhanded honesty on this, though. He has finally admitted that he thinks the money that you work for belongs to the government before it belongs to you. He just had to utter the most Orwellian phrase ever spoken by an American president to get the admission out there.
A whole lot of other smart (and not so smart) people discussing the most boring speech (just ask Biden) speech EVAH! over at Memeorandum.
