What Obama’s team really believes about GOP and economy

Your tax increase is my spending cut

“There is plenty of spending to cut. For instance, we’ve got one government program that hands people money to buy houses that, in most cases, they would buy anyway. They get even more money if they buy a more expensive house. Over the next five years, that program alone will cost almost $500 billion. That can’t be the best use of taxpayer dollars.

Another federal agency will spend more than $400 [...]

Bin Laden’s war against the US economy:

“Did Osama bin Laden win? No. Did he succeed? Well, America is still standing, and he isn’t. …
