President Obama has consistently failed as the CEO of government enterprise by not submitting budgets on time and failing to lead with solutions to America’s necessity to provide 100% coverage for Americans in healthcare and Social Security with 100% confidence. He consistently baits Republicans with offers of concessions on entitlements if only they will yield to more revenue through taxing the rich. The back and forth between the President and Congress has resulted in more and more Americans being cheated of the American promise to care for them.
Why should Americans trust a government with the track record that we have seen these many years?
The daily commentary about the budget that never arrives and about the promises that no one will keep leaves voters frustrated. I am sure that by the time we get to choosing the next President, Americans will be happy to get this lot behind us.
"Obama budget would cut entitlements in exchange for tax increases
By Zachary A. Goldfarb, Updated: Friday, April 5, 8:00 AM
President Obama will release a budget next week that proposes significant cuts to Medicare and Social Security and fewer tax hikes than in the past, a conciliatory approach that he hopes will convince Republicans to sign onto a grand bargain that would curb government borrowing and replace deep spending cuts that took effect March 1.
Obama will break with the tradition of providing a sweeping vision of his ideal spending priorities, untethered from political realities. Instead, the document will incorporate the compromise offer Obama made to House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) last December in the discussions over the “fiscal cliff” – which included $1.8 trillion in deficit reduction through spending cuts and tax increases.
“The president has made clear that he is willing to compromise and do tough things to reduce the deficit,” a senior administration official said, “but only in the context of a package like this one that has balance and includes revenues from the wealthiest Americans and that is designed to promote economic growth.”
