The President must be living in a dream world. No one could actually come up with a budget based on make believe, could they?
Apparently, he can. And not only that, but he is willing to bet the farm on it.
He actually thinks that he can do all that he wants because he knows that the economy will grow robustly. Are you kidding me? No one can know what this economy is going to do, and to base your finances on unicorns and lollypops (no offense to unicorns or lollypops) only leads to disaster.
He seems to have the same mentality that lead to this economic disaster. This idea that things will just keep going up, is what got us into the trouble we are in: that whatever we plan there is a ‘force’ out there that will keep us afloat.
To bolster his ideas of pixies and fairies, Obama is pointing to a few good signs in the economy, and in his mind this means that we have come out of the desert into the land of milk and honey.
The only thing he is missing is that there are negative indicators as well. So, which ones do you pick to look at? Obviously he is picking the good ones and ignoring the rest.
I just hope that we are ready for the cliff that he is about to drive us over.
