About 9 months ago, I wrote here that Obama’s 10 year budget forecast was way off and I said it would end up with our nation being $20 trillion in debt minimum, as it will increase as more of his radical spending gets passed into law. Well, a few days ago the CBO said exactly what I told you 9 months earlier.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — If President Obama’s 2011 budget were put into effect as proposed, the U.S. federal government would add an estimated $9.8 trillion to the country’s accrued debt over the next decade, according to a preliminary analysis from the Congressional Budget Office.
Of that amount, an estimated $5.6 trillion will be in interest alone.
By 2020, the agency estimates debt held by the public would reach $20.3 trillion, or 90% of GDP. That’s up from 53% of GDP in 2009.
Ya know, I’m not that smart. I’m really not. However, I am a genius compared to the morons in our current government who are responsible for the economic policies that put us in this position. This is one reason why I am able to see this crap coming long before they can.
The Billionaire Next Door Robbed You Blind
This must be said.
Warren Buffet is celebrated throughout the media, and by CNBC in particular. Given the events of the past 18 months you would think they would have asked the great oracle a tough question or two, but that never materialized.
This is a man who champions himself a great capitalist. He also advocates liberal economic policies like high taxes on “the rich” while decrying wealth inequality. He seems like a nice man, but that does not change the fact that he is a fraud and a hypocrite of the highest order.
This is a man who calls his annual shareholder meeting, “Woodstock for capitalists.” Yet, he was on the phone with congress in late 2008 advising them to pass the $700 Billion bailout that was going to directly impact his very own portfolio. Take a look at the all the TARP companies my friends and you will find that Mr. Buffet benefited probably more than any single person in regards to the bailout. His investment portfolio was invested to the tune of billions and billions of dollars in companies that needed bailouts. So, Mr. Buffet who decries wealth inequality, lobbied for the richest man in the world (himself) to get a taxpayer funded bailout for his investment portfolio. What a guy! What man of the people! Odd, how no one at CNBC thought this was worthy of questioning?
They were not interested since he pushes their social agenda and is useful as a club against true capitalists like myself and others when they are actually given air time.
When his money was on the line, all of a sudden he was not interested in protecting the middle class taxpayer. No, this time he was fine with looting them in order to bail out his bad investment choices. Had the TARP not been passed, the oracle would have lost billions.
Remember that the next you see him sitting with Barack Obama with his big smile and his “man of the people” routine as he praises Obama’s policy of wealth redistribution.
