Bust: President’s Budget Bankrupts Our Country

Tea Party Patriots Find Trillions in New Debt Unacceptable
Washington, DC – The Tea Party Patriots, the nation’s largest tea party organization, today rejected the President’s proposed budget plan for violating the key tea party principles of fiscal responsibility and limited government and taking the country down a road to financial ruin.
“The President’s budget does nothing to slow entitlement spending or aim for anything close to spending within our means,” said Jenny Beth Martin, President and National Coordinator of Tea Party Patriots. “An $820 billion increase in spending since 2008 and $10.59 trillion in new debt is irresponsible and unacceptable at a time when our country is cracking under its own debt.”
“More taxes, more spending, more debt and more fiscal irresponsibility is all we get from this President and his allies in Congress,” said Mark Meckler, National Coordinator of Tea Party Patriots. “It has been more than 1000 days since his friends in the Senate passed a budget, and this is what is produced? The American people deserve better.”
In a brand-new book out today, TEA PARTY PATRIOTS: The Second American Revolution (Henry Holt and Company, February 14, 2012), Mark Meckler and Jenny Beth Martin explain how the movement began, its fundamental principles and how it will restore the true character of American democracy. They detail the nuts and bolts of grassroots political action that will return political power to where it belongs: the people.
Tea Party Patriots is a national grassroots coalition with more than 3,400 locally organized chapters and more than 15 million supporters nationwide. Tea Party Patriots is a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to promoting the principles of fiscal responsibility, constitutionally limited government, and free markets.

Ur right!!!!,,,The budget WOULD bankrupt our country if it were ever enacted,,,but it will never be and Obama has no intention that it ever will be!!
Harry Ried will never let it see the light of day either,
it’s all just an opportunity for Obama to somehow tell the “VAST Greatly UNINFORMED”members of his base that the Republicans are blocking him!!
This man has NO INTENTION WHATSOEVER of Governing.He (and pelosi,Ried Wasserman Shultz etc) are only concerned with self perpetuation and when we go nuts about their misrepresentation of facts and BAD policies ,,WE are missing the point!
THEY DON”T CARE!
Beating Obama IS the primary responsibility!!,,What scares me is when The Right argues with itself and endangers the chances of beating them!!
I agree John; just what would the right course of action to defeat this president?
I have since the beginning of this administration,been appalled and very frustrated at the lack of restraint ,when it comes to Pres,Obama’s spending sprees give aways and bail outs .It is a slap in the face of every hard working taxpayer in America . Our grand Children are in debt and many not even walking as yet.This is an OUTRAGE and must be stopped.America is on a fast tsinking ship ,with no life perservers. Something has to be done . where are the Jobs to pay all the taxes needed to even begin to lift us out of this mire? Instead of reining in the spending ,pres Obam is fast to bail out ,give away and spend OUR tax $$$ with no regard to our futures.
Obama knows exactly what he is doing. He is arrogant enough to believe this is just the beginning. Remember this is his “Hope and Change” for America and he is dragging along millions who refuse to think of the consequences. Pretty scarry that this could happen in our lifetime! Pretty encouraging to think we could be the ones to stop it in 2012!!!
To Shelly Harris, check your facts. TARP, which is the beginning of the bailouts, was started by President Bush, Auto Bailouts were started by President Bush, Medicare Prescription Drug Plan started by and NOT FUNDED by President Bush, Two wars started by and not paid for by President Bush. So yeah, President Obama, continued TARP, Continued the Auto Bailouts, and enacted the Stimulus package. You’re playing loose with the facts when you attempt to blame everything on our current President.
Brian; You need to get some facts strait too; The Democrats controlled the House and the Senate from 2007 to 2010 and most of what we see happening today was passed by them. When PRESIDENT CLINTON left office he TRIPLED the MANDATE on banks to give out mortgages to low income people the banks knew were bad loans. By the time this SHIT hit the fan ( just before the election ) the banks could not sell the bad loans fast enough; FANNY MAE, AND FREDDIE MACK could not buy them up fast enough; because they ( BARNEY FRANK – DEM ) had already been cooking the books on bad debt for years…
The Bush Admin. correctly predicted that banks would fail and tried to do something to help. Banks no longer had enough money coming in to pay out the line-of-credit loans that many businesses big and small rely on for monthly bills and payroll. Businesses started to close immediately, people lost their jobs in droves, and stopped paying any Mortgage payments; even if they had been trying before.
The TARP MONEY was DISTRIBUTED(and re-written to include paybacks to big money supporters) by the OBAMA ADMIN. not BUSH. The take-over of the Auto industry was written by the Obama Admin. not Bush.BUSHES plan included payback to eliminate that debt in a specific number of years.THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED.. The Health Care Plan was passed by Democrats ( MOST OF WHICH ARE LAWYERS ) who voted on it WITHOUT READING IT. WE ARE STILL FINDING OUT WHAT THE HORRORS OF THAT BILL ARE. Not the part that actually refers to Medical Care; BUT ALL THE ADD-ONS….PLEASE LOOK UP THE TRUE MEANING OF SOCIALISM, and think about America the FREE; FOR THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE…GOD BLESS AMERICA..VOTE OBAMA, PELLOSSI,and REID….OUT FOR GOOD….
Thank You Brian!
Like Regan once said”there not ignorant,they just know a whole bunch that isnt so”! which seems to apply in this case.I know its hard for people to believe that fox news is for “entertainment only” and is usually quite entertaining if your racist,a religous hypocryt,have money invested in oil,nutra sweet,privately owned prisons,BioApi labs,bullet and bomb factories…….i could go on and on, people always believed whatever the media reported, its really sad that that it became a game for the powerfull men that had way to many years in control to where WE THE PEOPLE quit asking questions,we quit demanding proof,BECAUSE WE LOST THE RIGHT TO,UNDER THE “PATRIOT ACT”!!!! No one that truly wants freedom,and truth would waste a dime on what the tea party movement is preaching, i like checking facts,and since we just got our right back to do that,see where the money goes, and watch congress sessions on youtube while they make new laws for us,and spend our tax money,i have faith that anyone with logical; thinking or math skills will make the right choice! it takes longer than 4 years to TRY TO FIX a country that has lived a lie for 20 years, all voters should be required to watch’ the tea party cult ‘before they CHECK THAT BOX on voting day………..look it up on youtube! stop the hate, just do the right thing………BE REAL!!!!! you will live longer and then you will have time to look into the facts !
the reason you could follow the spending was because obama faught congress for our rights back to see it! You would be more than appaled if you had the option to see where our tax dollars went during the bush administration! But we all know that it took years of spending to put us in this mess,as far as taxes go ,watch the interviews on youtube “the tea party cult” its very interesting!
I can not believe the people of this country. Me, a dumb ole Mississippi, uneducated,
ex-construction working, disable vet. I just can not believe the so called suppose to be republicans who are voting the way they are. Especially the ones that call themselves CHRISTIANS. GEE MO NEE!!!!
But what hurts or aggravates the dodo out of me the most are the so called conservatives that say they want change with less government and regulations, etc….and then vote the way they are voting. ALL THE ABOVE mentioned doing so. PLUS, TPP doing the same thing. NO ONE THAT GIVES A HOOT about this country is listening behind the scenes, doing any research, reading their BIBLE or doing any praying. ESPECIALLY so called TEA PARTY PEOPLE & CONSERVATIVES who claim to be CHRISTIANS. THAT are still buying GM’S&CHRYSLERS, GOING TO MOVIES(with every dime spent in a theater supporting liberals and hollywood trash.) Still buying any item made by unions and buying overseas oil shopping in places they know that are owned or supported by gays, still watching and listening and letting their kids also watch trash on ABC, NBC, CBS, MTV, ETC… knowing it’s teaching and promoting liberalism. Not counting the banks they still use knowing those banks are supporting everything this socialist, corrupt, lying, cheating, stealing, government is trying to brainwash us with.
It’s you people that fall for sale pitches being thrown at you better than a GM car salesman could dish out. AND you are actually falling for it / them. If you are believing Rommney and or Paul, I bet you drive a GM or CHRYSLER / DODGE and a fairly new one. Or you believe GREEN ENERGY is actually going to work within the next hundred or so years. WRONG!!!!
YOU like the way he looks, his hair, the way he dresses and the B S he is feeding you???
OK CHRISTIANS do a little research on 7 DAY ADVENTIST and or MORMONS. Check out their church doctrine, their rules and regulations, their beliefs. YOU know the guys and gals in the black pants or dresses with white blouses and shirts black ties, sometimes on bicycles, that know on your door and try to convert you. NOT ME CUZ!! Read the last 2 or 3 chapters in the BIBLE then read what the Mormons say was written by modern man to continue or add to the BIBLE. But remember the last chapters of the Bible. KJV, ASV, or INT VERSION. OUR as CHRISTIANS BIBLE { THE WORD}. IF you think Obama will not beat that, I feel for ya.
YOU folks that say you are conservative or Christian or TPP and or you folks that want to work or are out of work, better use your heads, eyes and ears if you are truly AMERICAN CONSTITUTION PATRIOTS, wanting smaller government, CHRISTIANS who want Christianity put back in this country, schools and yes especially government. You better pay close attention to who is saying what, but especially HOW they are saying it. PEOPLE ASK GOD WHO TO VOTE FOR??? THEN PAY ATTENTION TO THE CANDIDATES and some where along the line you will get your answer. BUT; when you ask (pray about it with complete seriousness). I’m praying for YOU to pray for this, about this and for what’s right in a true and honest AMERICANS’ true and honest beliefs in this COUNTRY. No matter what religion you are IF you are an AMERICAN and want what’s best for OUR country.
NOW PEOPLE; HEAR THIS!!!! and think about who to vote for or pray for to win. AMERICA has more oil and natural gas, just in the lower 48 states than the rest of the world combined. I am not even counting ANWR or the GULF of MEXICO. FACT and the proof is out there, documented in black & white. Just federal government land has enough oil to sell and pay off ALL of AMERICAS’ debt, fund the military, fund soc sec, pay the politicians and give the troops a raise, and close the border tightly, while sending illegal’s back to where ever. Your government could be making trillions of dollars while creating millions of jobs JUST BY DRILLING OIL ON FEDERAL LAND, REFINING IT AND SELLING IT TO OUR ALLIES, which would help their economy in return helping us. And think of the people who would or could get wealthy from the oil and gas on private land. And more fair tax money for the government (trillions of more dollars for the government through a fair tax). OIL & GAS THAT WILL NEVER RUN OUT. PUT there by GOD for US to use if used properly and honestly for as long as we like or HE likes????
AGAIN; USE YOUR HEADS, your OWN minds,eyes& ears. AND listen to the candidates. RE-READ the last paragraph. WE have done away with OPEC and ANY overseas oil & gas. Made trillions of dollars, created millions of jobs and made some privately owned land owners wealthy. AND have not even used a drop of oil or gas from the gulf or Alaska. Hell, we ain’t even started a fair tax yet either. ANOTHER several trillion dollars for the government . And we are helping our allies, help us. But remember, we are using OUR OWN minds, eyes & ears. Not your bankers or car dealers or bartenders or bosses or unions or even your Preachers’ , thoughts, ideas or suggestions. AIN’T it great to use your OWN mind and do what’s best for us ( U S ) as a whole. ONE NATION (you and me) UNDER YOUR GOD. Mine being the TRINITY, Father, Son an Holy Ghost. Listen to the candidates now. WE; you and me, the U S, is now the richest country on earth, with not enough workers to fill all the jobs we have created here using OUR OWN minds, eyes & ears. Of course with the help of the RIGHT candidate / president. But he needs all of us to help, right??? ALL OF US.
GETTING BACK TO THE CANDIDATES: which one is going to close a few of the military bases overseas that we really do not need??? OR relocate a few of those to where we do need some. Our southern border would be good. Creating many civilian jobs that support a military base on and off that base. And if we locate that base in a desolate area a new town might spring up. OOOOOOPS, more businesses and jobs, all around that base. Gee Mo Nee, more tax money for the government. DAMN shame ain’t it??? Lets see I heard we had 900 + military bases overseas. Lots of rent money to foreign government’s. I bet we could relocate at least 5 or 6 of those bases to our southern border. But that would create more civilian jobs, more communities, more businesses and crap more tax money for the goverment. OH well, we’ll spend it on building the triple fence and buy cameras to go on the US side most inner fence filming everything in between the new bases. The border patrol watching the monitors, and supporting the military, as the second line of defense and doing just as they have done in the past, THANK GOD!!!! But remember, listen to the candidates. One might even suggest relocating a couple of those not needed bases to Israel, if Israel wanted them there. I bet with the reasonable prices we are selling fuel to them for, they may not charge us any rent??? Ya think??? And i bet we have plenty of troops that would volunteer to be stationed there. And since the right candidate is going to make Israel a much safer place, the troops families could go.
Now as far as relocating other bases, we might better let the Pentagon work on that, but with the right candidate naturally. But any allies that want a base or 2 relocated to them rent free would be ok with us right??? BECAUSE; with all the revenue /profit from all the oil and gas we sold we have doubled the size of OUR military, partially with just fuel savings alone on ALL government transportation / vehicles including air, sea and rail. DAMN, we just keep saving and making UNCLE SAM money , with the right candidate of course. We’ll let the Pentagon have now.
But; don’t forget our OWN minds, eyes & ears and RIGHT candidate. You know, the one that’s going to start a fair tax. I believe, with your help of course or input 20% (20 cents on the dollar) would be plenty, with all the oil money the government is making, plus the money they are saving on government fuel cost, 20% would be fine. 4 cents, 5 ways. 4 feds; 4 state; 4 county; 4 city;[ if no city, that goes into county emergency fund. THEN 4 OUR OWN RETIREMENT FUND……PERIOD!! WITH an option to add from OUR OWN pocket / take home pay, to add as we please. Now back to the fair tax beginning. That would mean no federal payroll deductions from OUR HARD EARNED PAYCHECKS. NONE. Not even state. Because after the governments’ (fed) bill are paid (overhead met) OIL&GAS profits are divided among the states that have NO, none, from their own oil&gas profits. And there is not that many states that DO NOT HAVE OIL or NATURAL GAS.
IDEAS, PEOPLE. FACTS, GET THE PROOF OUT THERE. EVERYDAY WE AR SINKING WE COULD BE SELLING BILLIONS IN OIL AND GAS. AND COMPLETELY POWERING THIS COUNTRY WITH COAL AND NUKE. IT’S PURE STUPIDY AND CHICKEN DODO WAYS BY EVERYONE; TPP, ESPECIALLY; REPUBS, CONSERVATIVES, INDEPENDENTS AND ANYONE ELSE NOT ADMITTING THE TRUTH OR FIGHTING FOR IT. THAT GOES FOR: O RIELLY, HANNITY; RUSH; GIBSON; COULTER; REAGAN; TRUMP; THE JUDGE; FOX BIZ AND {ESPECIALLY THE LIAR CHICKEN DODO NETWORK NEWS / MSNBC /CNN NEWS AND SO ON. THAT OUT AND OUT LIE TO AMERICANS EVERYDAY}

First let me say AGAIN, if you people read emails or just cash checks. I am a 59 yr old disabled vet, ex crane operator, on a very low fixed income. VERY low compared to what I use to make in pay. Never any union work though. Unions are wrong and they go against a persons right as a free AMERICAN to work where they please and pay WHO they please out of THEIR PAYCHECKS……..PERIOD!!!!!
I do not donate, but I do more, than you republicans, conservatives, tea party people, et….How many of you are buying GM or CHRYSLER cars or pickups??? I do not or would not. AS a strong conservative I wouldn’t want to be seen in one. There is not a GE product in my house, that I am aware of. I but NOTHING union made if I can help it. How many of you so called conservatives, tea party people, etc….go to the movies or watch T V channels that go against everything family, faith, conservatism and so, are suppose to be against??? I have not been to a movie in over 20 years and watch nothing on T V but FOXNEWS / BIZ. 90% of the time. There is NO FORIEGN OIL refined gas in my vehicles. NO ethanol gas either. And I could go on. But you see my point { if you are reading this}?? SOME ONE BETTER GET THE WORD OUT, DONATIONS ALONE AIN’T GONNA WIN US THIS THING PEOPLE.
Now I have emailed you non doers hundreds of times about the 48 states alone having more oil than the rest of the world combined. [just the lower 48] Think about that when you are pumping gas in your vehicle. YET I HEAR NO ONE MENTIONING THAT FACT ANYWHERE OR READING IT NO WHERE??? What’s wrong with you nuts?? You complain about oil prices, OPEC and the blocking of the STRAIGHT OF H??????? YET you say or do NOTHING about the fact that the U S has more oil than the world combined. That will be there for as long as GOD allows us to use it. Nor do you mention the fact that green energy is only about 10% efficient and it will be several generations before it could replace a little bit of the oil we use. OR coal. THIS SO CALLED GOVERMENT FOR THE PEOPLE, could be paying everything it owes, off with oil and coal alone. HOW STUPID IS IT NOT TO????
WHERE are the so called CHRISTIANS at??? Especially OUR leaders that know the constitution and the BIBLE. NOWS YORE DAMN CHANCE, are we hiding???? YOU JUST GONNA SIT BACK and let the atheist, radical muslims / islam and OTHER very few liberal groups & cults have this, MY country??? You gonna sit back and let people be slaughterd and Israel wiped off the glob????
LETS FACE FACTS HERE; some of you have turned pure CHICKEN DODO. It turns my gut and I know for a fact its that way for millions, especially in the south and western states, except, CA&OR, maybe NEVADA???
SO YOU FOLKS just sit back and let the radicals and illegal’s have this country. You will not have to sit much longer. Because YOU are letting the demos do it right now and they, especially with obama do not have much more FOR YOU TO LET THEM GET AWAY WITH.
SIT BACK AND ENJOY BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO (NOT ONE EXCUSE) FOR LETTING IT HAPPEN. YOU DAMN DUMMIES!!!! I PRAY FOR YOU.
robert walker…………………………………….dumb ole Mississippi country boy. AND YOU, educated??? That’s a laugh.

Obama appears to be a Communist. It is the desire of all Communists to take over the world with their destructive concepts.
In order for Communists to be successful in taking over the world, they must destroy the United States of America. They must make all American citizens their prisoners.
The best way to destroy our country is to bankrupt it.
Obama is no fool. He knows what he is doing.
Socialism – Communism – Democrat party
What is the difference? Please help me to understand this.
Looking back at History one wonders how the people let it happen to them but watching it here and now all I see is apathy!
Perhaps its deliberate? This is happening in many countries throughout the world in particular European countries like my country (Great Britain). I suspect that the aim is for each government to deliberately bankrupt themselves in order to create super governments which we are witnessing the emergence of, i.e the EU and the North American Union. Why bankrupt the nation? It will drive people to the extreme where by they want “change”.
When the people crave change enough they will say “well how about creating a new nation? Lets unite the USA with Canada and Mexico? The people would have rebelled against this but the extreme they have been driven to causes them to react with desperation. ‘Yes, do what ever it takes, just as long as I can feed my children’
This is just a theory. Think about it in depth! If the leaders of a country want radical change but they can’t do it without the consent of the electorate who would clearly oppose it 100% the only way the can get that radical change is by manipulation. It has been done before.
Paul w.
P.s don’t worry about me being from Britain, I’m here to help!
I think Bush deliberately bankrupted this country by two useless unpaid for wars, and doing away with financial regulation so his buddies could make billions with their home loan scam by Wall Street. Obama’s budget, if passed, dials back the Oil Depletion Allowance and has plans for taxing the TransNational Corps who take jobs and profits offshore. This is a start. No more corporate welfare. Corporate welfare should be done away with in the same spirit as individual welfare.
Your posting concludes that you are the village idot!!!! Obama is the President now and he alone is the problem!!!!
We have far too many people who are dependent upon the government for their livelihoods. It is no coincidence that before the debt ceiling was raised, it equaled the total that we have spent on anti-poverty programs.
I am so thankful that organizations such as this are starting to make a stand against the welfare state. It has not only drained us financially but has created the worst divide between citizens this country has ever seen.
Let’s keep up the hard work and lets make a difference.
Thanks for the article, Randy! Paul … unlike our President, I like Britain
