Obama spend-o-meter is now up around $800 billion

I seem to be on a political kick recently. These past few days I have found salient articles I’ve wanted to share. Here’s another one that raises some serious concerns about Obama’s fiscal reliability. Read the article, Obama’s Big-Government Vision, and consider what Lawrence Kudlow has to say. Here are some snippets:

The Obama spend-o-meter is now up around $800 billion. And tax hikes on the rich won’t pay for it. It’s the middle class that will ultimately shoulder this fiscal burden in terms of higher taxes and lower growth.

This isn’t free enterprise. It’s old-fashioned-liberal tax, and spend, and regulate. It’s plain ol’ big government. The only people who will benefit are the central planners in Washington.

Obama would like voters to believe that he’s the second coming of JFK. But with his unbelievable spending and new-government-agency proposals he’s looking more and more like Jimmy Carter. His is a “Grow the Government Bureaucracy Plan,” and it’s totally at odds with investment and business.

It will be interesting the next few months after candidates are selected and debates ensue.

Thanks for the post, Tina. I have to say, though, that I’m not sure I fully understand what you’re getting at.

Just because there have been abuses through “small government” addressing (or in this case bypassing) regulatory guidelines doesn’t mean that big government will be able to resolve the issue. I’d rather see State-level small government fix the “problems” it may have created and hold accountable those responsible for the abuses than try to create MORE bureaucracy by involving the Feds.
