Mr. President Cut Trillions Not Billions – The 800 Pound Gorilla

Remember when Obama said, “It is essential that we learn the lessons from this crisis so we don’t doom ourselves to repeat it”?

… Or how about Nancy “Read My Lips” Pelosi pledging, “Pay as you go – NO new deficit spending!”

And of course Sheriff Joey Biden explaining, “We gotta go spend money to keep from going bankrupt.”

In this year’s budget, how much of your money can an 800 pound gorilla spend? As much as it wants to. $14,000,000,000,000 National Debt.
