Washington's Wake

Anyone see the following publicity piece from the Washington Post?

President Barack Obama said on Tuesday that worrying about the U.S. government’s finances “keeps me awake at night” and the country needed to start planning now to tackle soaring deficits.
…
Rising health care costs put the biggest strain on the budget, so curbing those costs would help shore up U.S. finances, he said.

How about the trillions of dollars in extra debt you’re piling on? And that’s even before we even start to talk about “health care”. From the same story we learn HRH The Sun King’s budget would “hit $1.43 trillion in fiscal 2010 under Obama’s budget plan”. It’s about the spending stupid. It really is. This “stimulus” is nothing more than pork for democrats and literally a payoff for support that is obscene.

I think Jules Crittendon nicely sums up why this is truly disturbing.

it’s hard to work up a lot of sympathy for a guy who can’t sleep with his own decisions, and is still trying to figure out ways to drive the deficit even higher … no matter how often he says his universal health plan is going to cut costs. In fact, the news that he can’t sleep and can’t stop is more than a little disturbing.

Nicely said Jules.
