Obama, Gloria Borger and the 4 Trillion Dollar Lie

See last night's articles on the partisann political hacks of CNN, putting out Obama propaganda daily. I neglected to address one very important Obama/mainstream media/Gloria Borger lie directly. You know the lie by now, coming directly from the Obama Administration to their allies in the mainstream media:


"What are Republicans complaining about. They WON. President Obama has offered a 4 trillion dollar debt reduction lplan, with 3 dollars in spending "cuts" for ever dollar in tax increases (3 trillion dollars in spending "cuts" over ten years, and 1 trillion dollars in tax increases."


This is the Obama Administration position--NOT a piece of objective "news". It is the propaganda that Gloria Borger putout yesterday on CNN. It is the official mainstream media/Obama positiion. It is a LIE. A partisan lie. Gloria Borger even had the nerve to say that Ronald Reagan would be HAPPY to sign off on this "deal" that Obama "offered" John Boehner. That is the biggest LIE of all, especially if Ronald REagan had the benefit of remembering the similar spending "promises" that Democrats VIOLATED in the Reagan years (when Reagan was fighting a Democratic Congress). Gloria Borger is a aprisan political lhack and a liar. Doubt me? Never do that. It is embarrassing for you.


Let us go b ack to the Obama "debt reduction" speech after Republicans put out the Ryan budget that has passed the House. As you know, although CNN and Borger never mention it, Democrats in the Senate have VIOLATED the law, and not produced a budget (for more than two years). The President's original budget was REJECteD by the Senate, 97 to 0. Yes, this was our Liar0-in-Chieef putting out a FAKE "budget" that NOT ONE of his own party supported in tghe Senate. This is the man (Obama) who said: "I've been here, ready to get this done." That is a Big Lie even George Orwell might have hesitated to put in "1984", for fear the reader would think that even brainwashed people would not believe that big a lie.


President Obama and the Democrats had no budget. They had no spending plans, except to spend more money . They did have TAX plans--very specific ones to raise taxes (as Obama did with ObamaCare). And they thought that they could RUN against Republicans on the same old SCARE tactics--claiming that Republicans were out to take Medicare away from seniors (even though the Ryan changes in Medicare did not eve apply to ANYONE 55 years of age or older, who would not see THEIR Medicare affected at all). Still, Obama was afraid peope would realize that he was proposing to do NOTHING about uor debt/deficit problem. What about all o fthose "angry" people out there who had voted against Democrats in 2010? Theerefore, Obama fell back on HIS ordinary tactic. He made a SPEECH. This was at the beginning of this year, at the same time Obama was using the same tactics to induce Boehner into a SHAM DEAL in the talks about the Contrinuing Resolution funding the government until September 30. This was before the debt ceiling was even a major issue, although conservatives were being told: "Dont worry if you don't get any real spending cuts now. The fiscal year is almost over, and we can't getinto this kind of government shut down fight under this disadvantge.' We will make our real stand on the debt ceiling, and maybe on nest year's spending bills". Were Republ9icana establishment politicians, like Boehner, LYING to conservatives? Of curse they were. But they had already forgotten thte lesson of 2006 and 2010: that conservatives no longer TRUST Tthe, and that every betrayal meakes the next palnned betrayal that much harder. It hs now become impossible--imposible without DESTROYING the Republican Partyy.


Thus, as Republican politicians again betrayed conservatives (maybe for the LAST time, although I would not count on it), Obama gave a speech repeating the same tactics that had worked for him on the Continuing Resoution deal, and the deal at the end of 2011 to extend the Bush tax cuts. The President gave us WORDS, instead of policy: words still not backed up by any budget setting forth SPECIFICS. Obama's idea, aided and abetted by Gloria Borger and the rest of the mainstream media, was to put SHAM "specific" spending "cuts", scheduled for the far futre, into a LAST SECOND "grad bill" (in the trasdition of ObamaCare and the Continunig Resolution) that no one has time to even read. It is all intended to be a sham. Analysis below.


But before the analsyis of just how much a LIAR Gloria Borger is on the Obama 3 for 1 LIE, let us consider another lie. Partisan Borger says that the refusal of Tea Party Republicasn to buy into the Obama lie shows that they have CHOSEN between deficit/debt reduction and taxes, and decided that taxes are more important. Notice that partisan liear Borger does not talk about the obvius fact of the HYPOCRISY of Obama. Obma is saying that we MUSTG raise the debt ceiling, or face economic run and destructin as a country. Yet, Obama is willing to face that runin rather than give up his own policy on TAXES. Gloria: Why is it you have never mentioned this? Could it be that you are a PARTISAN LIAR? Of coure, Tea Party Republicans, and sympathizers like me, are being perfectly consistent, and true to what they ran on. Can we really "solve' our deficit porblem with increased taxes? Nope. We can't. In fact, increasing taxes only makes it worse, especailly in complicated ways, when what we need is a SIMPLE tax system with LOW TAX RATES. Obama is advocating the exactd opp9osite, as he continues to try to "carve out" the "rich" as an Ayn Rand SLAVE LABOR force to support everyone else. Class warfare, pure and simple, and it will not even raise revenue as it distorts the economy and lowers growth. THAT--despite the Gloria Borger/CNN lies--is the consistnent Tea Party positon. The ONLY way to address the deficit on any kind of real basis is to REDUCE SPENDING (plus REFORMING the tax code without a net increase in taxes). Yes, Gloria, Tea Party people believe lthat reducing deficits and NOT INCREASING taxes are part of the same thing--not contradictory. You oviuosly disagree, Gloria, because you are a CNN partisan hack. But you LIE when you ssay it is inconsistent.


With that background, we can now look at Obama's speech in response to the Ryan budget, now months ago (BEFORE the "debt ceiling negotiatons" even started). What did Obama say? He said the sAME THING he is saying now--without specifics then or now. He said that he would reduce the defict at LEAST 4 trillion dollars over 10 to 12 years, although with all of the spending reductions coming in the far future years (the 10-12 year period), except for military "savings" created by the anticipated end of the Iraq and Afghan wars. How has Obama "compromised", and caused "pain" to his base? His lproposed tax increases are SPECIFIC. His proposed spending "cuts" are shams and illusions. That was ture in that speech months ago, and it is true now.


If you llistent to Gloria Borger and the mainstream media, you have to wonder what all of the fuss is about. Why did the Republicans not just accept Obama's "offer" back when Obama made that SPEECH. The Obama position has not changed. He still is proosing very specific tax increases--postponed until 2103 for obviously CYNICAL and DISHONEST political reasons---while proposing nothing but sham spending "cuts" in the far future--"cuts" that Obama clearly intends to be nothing but illusions. Indeed, Obma has TOLD you, and Gloria Brger, what he intends to do. He said, in his press conference this week, that he inteds to declare the debt/deficit poroblem "solved" with this "grad deal", so that he can focus on MORE LSPENDING in areas thqat rally interest him (this debt reductin business never being anything but a game and a scam to him). This LIE of putting out these NUMBERS as if they are real, without details, is designed to dECEIVE votes. No, it is not designed to "decieve" Repubican politicians. They know what is going on. But too many of them WANT to dECEIVE the public kjust as much as Obama, because lthey have no real principles land/or no real courage. If Repubicans really wanted this "deal" Obama is supposedly offering, without details, they could have gotten it months ago, and saved all of this drama. You and I know why estaablishment Republicans did not do that. They thought that people would SCARE as the deadline approached, and that they could get away with "politics as usual".


I AM SCARED. I am scared that Republicans are gonig to betray me once again. Message to Republicans: It will not work. It will not work with me. It will not work with the public. You might as well stand up for princiiple, and go down that way (if you are going to go down). That is because if you resort to "politics as usual" (my view of the balanced budget amendment, although Michele Baachmann and a few others may mean it), then you are a DEAD PARTY WALKING. If you don't get that message, then you deserve to disappear as a party. I will do my besdt to help you. So will many other people. Nope. I do NOT think that most Republican politicians have learned A SINGEL THING, and there protestations that they have are jut more Gloria Borger type LIES. I know, for example, that Mitch McConnell has not learned one single thing.


Q.E.D.. Gloria Borger is a PARTISAN LIEAR on The Liar Network "CNN). Yes, I would tell you to boycott CNN, as I have told you to boycott Fox, except that all of you are already boycotting CNN (without even being conscious of that decision).
