That's Obama's real agenda - soaking working households and the poor, transferring greater wealth to America's super-rich already with too much, and continuing lawless imperial rampaging for unchallengeable global dominance.
Nonetheless, House Budget Committee chairman Paul Ryan accused Obama of "an abdication of leadership" for not doing more, on the backs of working and poor households the way he and other Republicans propose, letting America's aristocracy get richer.
A same day Times editorial headlined, "The Obama Budget," saying:
"On paper, President Obama's new $3.7 trillion budget is encouraging. It makes a number of tough choices to cut the deficit....which is enough to prevent an uncontrolled explosion of debt in the next decade and, as a result, reduce the risk of a fiscal crisis. (It's) balanced enough to start the process of deficit reduction, but not so draconian that it would derail the recovery. (It's) a good starting point for discussion...."
Wall Street Journal writers want more, featured in a lead February 15 editorial headlined, "The Cee Lo Green Budget," calling it "cynical and unrealistic," saying:
"....what landed on Congress's doorstep on Monday was a White House budget that increases deficits above the spending baseline for the next two years. Hosni Mubarak was more in touch with reality last Thursday night," mindless, in fact, that he didn't fall. He was pushed, Washington and Egypt's military doing the shoving. "How unserious is this budget," asked Journal writers? Targeting most cuts after 2016, he proposed "Budget Flimfam 101."
