Mr. Obama's idea of fiscal restraint is to increase the annual deficit from $438 billion to $1.8 TRILLION, conduct a fiscal summit promising to "cut the annual deficit to $600 billion by 2013, and proclaim his own fiscal responsibility. The gall of Obama and his minions is beyond comprehension. He deliberately can make contemptible assertions because he has unwavering confidence in the gullibility and ignorance of the American public. He knows that 70% of Americans don't know the difference between the Deficit and the National Debt.
Heaven from Hell
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell? " Pink Floyd " Wish You Were Here
Can you tell heaven from hell? Pink Floyd's lyrics reflect the alienation that engulfs our nation today. Americans have become alienated from their government. The 535 elected officials in Washington DC no longer represent the people. They represent the entrenched special interests. Do you think you can tell the truth from a lie? Both Democrats & Republicans manipulate public opinion and rely on the extremists and fanatical elements of their parties to spout their lying rhetoric. When their lies are revealed, they just deny the facts or change the story. I wish George Orwell were alive to see how his condemnation of the Soviet Union manipulation of language and oppression tactics have been perfected by American politicians.
"The point is that we are all capable of believing things which we know to be untrue, and then, when we are finally proved wrong, impudently twisting the facts so as to show that we were right. Intellectually, it is possible to carry on this process for an indefinite time: the only check on it is that sooner or later a false belief bumps up against solid reality, usually on a battlefield. " George Orwell
Examples of Orwell's untruths and twisting of facts have been many in the past two decades:
On Sept. 8, 1992 Bill Clinton said, "The only people who will pay more income taxes are the wealthiest 2 percent, those living in households making over $200,000 a year." According to the NYT, Clinton's budget raised taxes on people making $20,000. Bob Woodward, in his book The Agenda, revealed, "While Clinton continued to defend his middle-class tax cut publicly, he privately expressed the view to his advisers that it was intellectually dishonest." In other words, a lie.
Bill Clinton's best lie ever was, "But I want to say one thing to the American people. I want you to listen to me. I'm going to say this again: I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time; never. These allegations are false. And I need to go back to work for the American people. The next morning Hillary Clinton declared , "The great story here for anybody willing to find it, write about it and explain it is this vast right-wing conspiracy that has been conspiring against my husband since the day he announced for president." Bill had sex with Lewinsky in the White House nine times. It apparently wasn't a right wing conspiracy.
On the David Brinkley show in 1996, Al Gore stated, "The debt, which was just ballooning out of control under the previous two administrations, has now been cut by 60 percent." According to statistics released in February, 1996 by Clinton's own Office of Management and Budget, the gross federal debt for fiscal year 1992 was $4.002 trillion. By fiscal year 1995 it had "ballooned" to $4.921 trillion -- an increase of 23 percent. Al was never good at math. He was always gazing out the classroom window at the clouds, the trees, and the ozone layer.
