    Deficit Cut by 2/3

    (The Blaze) – President Barack Obama said Thursday that his administration has reduced the budget deficit significantly over the past few years — a boast that conveniently leaves out several key details about how the deficit rose so quickly under Obama, and how it really fell. “We’ve done all this while cutting our federal deficit by about two-thirds,” Obama said Thursday in Arizona. “And I’m going to repeat that, because they did a poll the other day and like 70 percent of the people think the deficit is going up.” “The deficit has gone down by two-thirds since I was President of the United States,” he said. “So we’re doing all this in a fiscally responsible way.” The White House repeated that boast in a tweet showing that “the deficit has gone down by two-thirds”: Here are seven key facts the White House is leaving out when it talks about the deficit: 1) The Annual Budget Deficit is Falling, but It’s Still Big, and It’s Still Adding to the Total National Debt. The budget deficit is the amount that the government spends over its annual collection of taxes. Yes, it has fallen — it was $1.4 trillion in 2009, and was $483 billion in 2014. But that $483 billion is huge. For example, it’s just a bit lower than the entire Defense budget for the current fiscal year. And that still adds to the national debt, which now stands at $18 trillion. 2) Obama’s Lowest Budget Deficit is Still Higher Than George W. Bush’s Biggest Deficit. President Bush was seen by many as a big spender who squandered a rare budget surplus. But according to the Office of Management and Budget, Bush’s highest annual budget deficit was $458 billion. That’s still $25 billion less than Obama’s lowest deficit: $483 billion in the just-finished 2014 fiscal year, and several years into what Obama himself has called an economic recovery. So for all of Obama’s boasting this week, Obama still hasn’t managed to preside over a deficit that’s lower than Bush’s highest deficit. 3) Real Credit for the End of $1 Trillion-plus Budget Deficits Belongs to the End of the Great Recession, and Renewed Republican Pressure to Keep Spending Down. Bush and Obama together created the huge, $1.4 trillion deficit that emerged in 2009, thanks to the bank and auto bailouts under Bush, and the huge stimulus and extended auto bailouts under Obama. As the crisis receded, it was House Republicans that finally forced some spending reductions through passage of the Budget Control Act. That pressure from the House led to reduced overall spending for two years in a row, in 2012 and 2013. That, combined with a growing economy and growing tax revenues over those years, nearly cut the budget deficit in half by 2013. 4) Obama Was Opposing Those Spending Reductions Year After Year. While House Republicans were putting their foot down on spending, Obama was proposing even more spending in his annual budget proposals. Since 2011, Obama has proposed spending between $3.7 and $3.8 trillion each year, more than $200 billion more per year than what was actually spent in those years. Those proposals fly in the face of Obama’s boast that his own actions are helping to reduce the deficit. A few of Obama’s budget proposals received votes in the House and were rejected unanimously, by both Republicans and Democrats. 5) Obama Has Rejected GOP Proposals to Eliminate the Deficit and Start Paying Down the Debt. In 2012, when some Republicans were proposing a plan to balance the budget in 10 years, GOP members argued that none of Obama’s plans would ever balance, and that Obama was rejecting any attempt to finally balance the budget. That charge is confirmed by Obama’s own budget documents. His budget proposal for 2015 foresees deficits that average $500 billion per year for the next decade, a recipe for adding $5 trillion more to the national debt over that time period. That assumes very optimistic increases in tax receipts that Obama assumes would increase $200 or $300 billion per year. 6) Other Analysts Say the Deficit is About to Get Worse. About those optimistic estimates on tax receipts? They’re not shared by the Congressional Budget Office. CBO says the government will collect $40.2 trillion over the next decade, not the $43.8 trillion Obama anticipates. And that means annual trade deficits that won’t stay in the $500 billion range, as Obama hopes. Instead, CBO sees the deficit rising again to more than $600 billion by 2019, and nearly $1 trillion by 2024. 7) Total National Debt Will Nearly Double Under Obama. When Obama took office, the national debt was $10.6 trillion. As of January 2015, it stood at just over $18 trillion. If the budget deficit stays around $500 billion a year for the next two years, as expected, total debt will exceed $19 trillion by the time Obama leaves office.

    The only thing I hear when the President opens his mouth, is the sound of a flushing toilet bowl. Don't spit in my face and then try to convince me it's raining.

    Mexican Wolf Publication

    Jan. 6, 2015 Arizona Game and Fish issues notice of intent to sue federal officials over Mexican wolf recovery plan development The Arizona Game and Fish Department today served a Notice of Intent with the secretary of the Department of Interior and director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service). The action was taken in an effort to support development of an updated recovery plan for Mexican wolves that utilizes the best available science as legally required by the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Game and Fish has requested an updated recovery plan from the Service on multiple occasions over the past several years because the current recovery plan for Mexican wolves developed in 1982 is so outdated that it no longer provides an adequate framework to guide the recovery effort. That plan also fails to identify the recovery criteria required by the ESA including downlisting and delisting criteria. “This Notice of Intent is an effort to ensure that the Fish and Wildlife Service adheres to its legal obligation to develop a thorough science-based plan that will lead to a successful recovery outcome that recognizes Mexico as pivotal to achieving recovery of the Mexican wolf given that 90 percent of its historical range is there,” said Arizona Game and Fish Department Director Larry Voyles. Bi-national recovery plans for endangered species have been successfully established with Mexico for other species including Sonoran pronghorn, Kemp’s ridley sea turtles and, most recently, thick-billed parrots. The department asserts that to succeed, Mexican wolf recovery must include an integrated, bi-national approach that incorporates the recovery work already underway in Mexico. “I fully support today’s action and I look forward to working with the department to develop a legal and sound plan for the recovery of the Mexican wolf,” said Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich. The Service is currently in litigation with several parties that are pushing for reestablishment of Mexican wolves in areas that are not part of the subspecies’ historical range and requesting a resolution in an unreasonable timeframe. These groups are basing their litigation on a draft report developed by a Mexican Wolf Recovery Science and Planning Subgroup. The department completed extensive analysis of the subgroup’s recommendations and found the science used as a basis for the recommendations to be significantly flawed. This misguided approach could jeopardize genetic integrity of the subspecies if the Mexican wolf is permitted to reestablish in close proximity to Northern gray wolves. Secretary Sally Jewell of the Department of Interior has 60 days to respond to the Notice of Intent. If the secretary fails to respond, the department will pursue civil action. A Notice of Intent is a required precursor to pursuing civil action. Arizona Game and Fish’s involvement in Mexican wolf conservation began in the mid-1980s. Since that time, the department has spent more than $7 million on wolf recovery in the state and has been the predominant on-the-ground presence working to manage Mexican wolves.

    Amen. Before the advent of the forced crapola 2 year contract, my buddy would sign up for the specials, then cancel after he got what he wanted. He would hammer the sales reps on the phone for half an hour to get free services, or he would cancel. This dude was such a chiseler, it was epic. They couldn't slip one penny past this guy.

    Dead Cardinals

    I have no horse in the race either. My VIkings were out of the running 2 games into the season because of the Adrian Peterson debacle, the loss of our deep threat, a starting QB with a broken foot, etc, etc,.. Even thought the Packers are a division rival, I dislike the Cowboys more. Romo better bring his heated underwear to Lambeau. Sunday he got smacked around in the backfield, like the proverbial red headed step child. ROmo has been playing pretty good ball otherwise.

    Bye Bye Dish Network!!

    Years ago when I cancelled Dish network to get Directv for the NFL package, the girl on the phone was putting on the hard sell to keep me as a customer. I told her that I was switching to get the NFL sunday ticket. That's when she told me that Directv doesn't broadcast playoff games, or the Superbowl. I said Hmmmmmmmm......thats because they are broadcast on national television. The silence on the other end of the phone was pretty funny.

    Directv is not much better. I had the same problem with them nickle and diming me to death. Same goes on the Sunday ticket package. Fine print, that you need a magnifying glass to read, that they will automatically renew it unless you cancel before it starts, and the weenies start billing for it in August. They are all crooks.
