This ‘change’ is the most expensive
Can it get any worse? Unfortunately, yes. President Barack Obama, who won office in part by accusing Republican former President George Bush of irresponsible spending, has admitted that his policies will result in federal deficits of $8.6 trillion during the next 10 years. That will be on top of the current national debt of about $12.4 trillion. But wait, say officials from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. The CBO reported last week that Obama’s estimates are low — by about $1.2 trillion. The actual amount of deficit spending during the next decade will be about $9.8 trillion, according to the CBO. Meanwhile, Obama has announced that his top priority is enactment of a health care program — at a cost of at least $1 trillion. One thing is clear: Obama is on track to become the most expensive president in history.
