You, our gentle readers, pay us to have the trained eye to catch things like the following….oh, wait, we don’t get paid?  Hey, Czar – what’s up with this, you told me…sorry.  Back to the point:

One should be very careful in the rhetoric coming from the White House with the president’s “job bill”.  Remember back here when GorT pointed out that the President said in his joint-session speech, “everything in this bill will be paid for, everything”, right?  It’s shifting to more of it will be “ensured that everything in the bill is paid for” and shorthanded by some to “everything in the bill is paid for”.  NOTHING.  I repeat NOTHING in the bill is paid for or is ensured to be paid for.  Obama wants to issue $450B of Stimulus (yes, some are tax cuts, breaks, whatever) and it isn’t paid for.  It isn’t paid for until down the road when the government realizes the savings from hopeful cuts and reductions by the (less-than)super committee and that’s on top of the cuts that Congress already charged this committee with finding.

And so far, the President hasn’t offered any concrete cuts that amount anywhere near $450B.  Furthermore, what’s going to happen when, next week, the president proposes the cuts to pay for this bill but these are programs that Congress wants to cut to realize the savings that the (less-than)super committee was charged with finding?  Anyone else see this fight looming?

I can just picture another beer-summit with Boehner and Obama that ends with someone getting a beer poured out over their head from a balcony…

GorT

GorT is an eight-foot-tall robot from the 51ˢᵗ Century who routinely time-travels to steal expensive technology from the future and return it to the past for retroinvention. The profits from this pay all the Gormogons’ bills, including subsidizing this website. Some of the products he has introduced from the future include oven mitts, the Guinness widget, Oxy-Clean, and Dr. Pepper. Due to his immense cybernetic brain, GorT is able to produce a post in 0.023 seconds and research it in even less time. Only ’Puter spends less time on research. GorT speaks entirely in zeros and ones, but occasionally throws in a ڭ to annoy the Volgi. He is a massive proponent of science, technology, and energy development, and enjoys nothing more than taking the Czar’s more interesting scientific theories, going into the past, publishing them as his own, and then returning to take credit for them. He is the only Gormogon who is capable of doing math. Possessed of incredible strength, he understands the awesome responsibility that follows and only uses it to hurt people.
