Obama Budget Drives Country Into Economic Disaster

I don't why anyone would believe Mr Obama would tell the truth about anything, let alone what is happening in the country, as he submits his budget. If we need a tell tail idem that explains his motivations look no further then ObamaCare where not one Republican or Conservative was involved in the formation or passaged of this nightmare. This heath care disaster was all done behind closed door.

All of the failures of the Obama administration that have resulted in catastrophic domestic and foreign disasters are the direct results of progressive socialist liberal left democrats, and they are directly responsible.

Obama's Proposed Budget: More Taxing, More Spending

The Heritage Foundation has a new report that delves into President Obama's proposed 2015 budget, which calls for $1.2 trillion in new taxes and $1 trillion in new spending. What's wrong with the budget? Heritage Foundation Research Fellow Curtis Dubay points out a few problems with the presidents' tax proposals:

• The new tax hikes would put tax revenue at 19.9 percent of GDP, which is nearly a record. Dubay notes that the new revenue will go toward making the federal government even bigger.
• The biggest tax increase would cap itemized deductions for high earners.
• The president wants to raise the death tax, which was already increased last year. Dubay says the tax hurts entrepreneurship and can force family businesses to liquidate their assets.

These are just a few of the president's tax proposals. Moreover, Senior Policy Analyst Rachel Greszler says the president's proposal uses misleading numbers, as the Office of Management and Budget assumes GDP growth that is higher than that projected by the CBO as well as an unemployment rate that is lower than that projected by the CBO. Such assumptions inflate government revenues and miscalculate real government spending.
