After emerging from the haze of the weekend's drunkenness on "hope" and "change", I'm faced with the following realities:
Obama Budget
- Obama Budget includes $1 Trillion Tax Hike
- Obama Budget requests contingency for as much as $750 Billion in additional aid for financial industry
- Obama $3.55 Trillion budget proposal projects 3.2% economic growth in 2010 (twice the projection of the Congressional Budget Office). This makes Obamas' promise to slash the deficit shall we say "dubious"
- Obamas' Budget requests $205.5 Billion for more combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan- $75.5 Billion more this year and $130 Billion in fiscal 2010. Wasn't he the "anti-war" candidate?
