President Obama's 2013 Budget Proposal
Yesterday House Republicans shifted course and agreed to extend the payroll tax cut without insisting on spending cuts elsewhere to offset the cost. They also largely dismissed the $3.8 trillion budget President Obama submitted for fiscal 2013. His 220 page document which spells out his spending proposal includes higher tax rates for the wealthiest Americans and puts off action on the national debt. The plan is not likely to gain traction in Congress, but it does offer insights into the administration’s election year priorities. Please join us to talk about reaction to President Obama's fiscal 2013 fiscal budget proposal and the ongoing debate over tax reform, stimulus spending, and deficit reduction.

The few times I have listen to Diane I get the same impression of her. And that is of a Cheerleader. We see the economy failing because the healthy cells of society are under attack by the tumors agenda of Obama, to enable the rapidly growing cancer of entitlements, that are engulfing our Country. And we see an Agenda that is hell bent on making as many people dependant on the Government as it can, to empower Dominance on our people. The American Dream is fading fast, and every time a valid critical point is made about Obama she is the first one to ignore the point, and keep cheering for him. She is supposed to be objective but she is clearly wearing a red cheerleader uniform for Obama. Where is the Journalism???????
