Show Me the Real Money!

Obama froze federal pay increases for the next two fiscal years, saving a few billion dollars. With the US in the hole for trillions, the pay freeze hardly matters. As usual with this president, he goes back to his playbook of offering little in order to appear a fiscal moderate.



After enacting the almost trillion dollar stimulus in 2009, Obama chaired the Fiscal Responsibility Summit whose purpose, as Vice President Biden said, was to "explore how we got where we are and begin to debate where we need to head." What followed were more auto bailouts and Obama Care. In two years Obama presided over the greatest spending surge in American history. (The only kind of surge he believes in, apparently.)

 Nothing short of entitlement reform, repealing Obama Care, and dismantling the most useless of federal bureaucracies, like Education, Energy and the EPA, will  bring down the deficit. 


Don't get me wrong, I think the pay freeze is a good step, but its only a baby step.
