Seriously Obama. Do you even believe the garbage that comes out of your mouth anymore? Sack up and start sticking it the Republicans. They are trying to screw over average Americans, if you bothered to tell the American people that, they would understand. They don't believe you when you say dumb things like:
"This agreement between Democrats and Republicans, on behalf of all Americans, is on a budget that invests in our future while making the largest annual spending cut in our history."
Really? Do you even talk to the economists that work for you? Because there is no such thing as a budget that invests in the future that cuts financial aid (Pell Grants) for people trying to go to college to improve their lives. Or one that cuts infrastructure in a time when the Army Corps of Engineers says that we are currently at a 'D' level for our infrastructure. Or one that will gut environmental programs and research while the climate crisis brews and gas prices are over $4 a gallon.
Now for the next line:
"A few months ago, I was able to sign a tax cut for American families because both parties worked through their differences and found common ground. Now the same cooperation will make possible the biggest annual spending cut in history, and it’s my sincere hope that we can continue to come together as we face the many difficult challenges that lie ahead, from creating jobs and growing our economy to educating our children and reducing our deficit."
Great, you cut taxes for rich people who make over 250,000 a year. I know, I heard those investment bankers were really hurting and needed more tax breaks - I heard bonuses were only $5 million for the Jamie Dimon CEO of JP Morgan. Tough, he definitely needs his taxes cut because he's in the poor house. Unlike those darn poor people sucking out of the system by getting their home heating subsidies and lazy unemployed who haven't had the ardor to find a job when unemployment is still over 8%.
Seriously. Did you not see this article from Bloomberg: "Republican Budget-Cut Plan would cost 700,000 jobs by 2012, Moody's Says". Read the article. Even Goldman Sachs is saying that their cuts will "shave between 1.5 and 2 percentage points off economic growth during the second and third quarters of this year". You can't argue against a budget that is gonna cut jobs when unemployment is over 8%? Seriously? You couldn't get laid in a whorehouse with a fistful of Benjamins.
The $858 billion dollar tax deal (over 10 years) that gives millionaires and billionaires more tax breaks you caved on - which you opposed in your campaign -would have actually prevented any of these cuts from having to go through while also creating more employment.
We are not dumb. Republicans did not have to compromise on anything. They'll get the cuts they want and they got the tax breaks they want. Hell, Paul Ryan wants to cut Medicare. With your track record, you'll probably be saying "Ok, I won't cut it for everyone, but I'll agree to change it so seniors over 75 can get it". And then talk about how hard it was to make that choice.
I for one don't buy it. You know that they are harming the country and you have no interest in fighting for the people you claimed to want to protect -- the poor and middle class -- when you ran for office. You only care about the rich and protecting the same corporate interests that your predecessor cared deeply for. I don't know why you're doing it, but the jig is up. You are not gonna be the next FDR. You'll be more like the next Chamberlain - compromising with madmen as they are plotting to destroy your country.
