Obama budget is out and is a total of $3.73 trillion with a $1.65 trillion deficit versus the last budget deficit of $1.29 trillion. Most objectionable in my estimation is the use of the term "investment" to describe wasteful spending on programs of dubious to zero value. Gee, I sure miss all the deficit hawks on the left that screamed bloody murder over average annual deficits of $160 billion under Bush (which by the way only increased from that average when Dems took over Congress in 2006).

The GOP in the House will hopefully propose $100 billion in cuts and wait to hear the left going nuts over starving Grandma, firing police and firefighters, sending poor people into homelessness and on and on. Funny, a mere three years ago under Bush the deficit was a mere $400 billion and that with all the porkulus spending of a Congress controlled by Dems.
