I'll just briefly sum up the latest Obama Rox/11th Dimensioner argument in support of the President's budget:
The president's budget has a lot of good things in it that should be enacted into law. Also, the bad things that are in it are only in there to make sure he looks reasonable. Because only if he looks reasonable can he then enact his good things into law. But, he put a lot of taxes in it to make sure Republicans never enact any of it. So don't worry, none of it is ever going to actually happen.
Seriously?
8:55 AM PT: Just in case you all don't know of the first big pretzel, here it is from August 2011:
President Obama proposed a trillion in cuts and tax increases because he knows Republicans will never accept a trillion in cuts and tax increases. That's why he put $500 billion in Defense cuts in the sequester because they'll never go along with it. That way, we keep the other $500 billion in domestic spending and the president looks like the adult in the room. See! 11 Dimensions!
