Like a Thief in the Night: Congress passes 3.5 Trillion dollar budget.

Apparently Obama hasn’t figured out that to cut the deficit in half by the end of his term he’s going to have to stop spending money like it’s going out of style.

Not only does this bill increase the 2009 spending over what the final year of the Bush Administration was spending, but this is compounded on top of ALL of the other spending that Obama has waved his pen and made possible this year. The Stimulus Bill + Omnibus bill + the new budget bill will pretty much put us in to the poor house for the next 12 years and there doesn’t seem to be any end in sight for more government spending.

Oh, as if to make matters worse lets see some highlights from this horrendous budget:

Voting along party lines, the House and Senate approved budget blueprints that would trim Obama’s spending proposals for the fiscal year that begins in October and curtail his plans to cut taxes. The blueprints, however, would permit work to begin on the central goals of Obama’s presidency: an expansion of health-care coverage for the uninsured, more money for college loans and a cap-and-trade system to reduce gases that contribute to global warming.

“Expansion of Health-care for the uninsured” seems to be the big ringer in that last statement, but the Cap and Trade system will do nothing but cause energy costs to skyrocket. So, it looks like not only will the government spend more of our hard-earned money like the generational thieves that they are, but they plan on making life almost unsustainable for us by imposing riduculous energy costs upon us and possibly a universal healthcare system that will do nothing but dismantle one of the best healthcare systems in the world.

Things aren’t looking good, folks.

Hopefully they will get better, but if I had to wager a guess what the rest of this President’s term will look like by looking at his last 72 or some odd days? Yeah, not looking at all like a bright future ahead for America.
