It's budget time in Washington again, and I don't think this one has any more chance of passing than the previous three. The Most Equal Comrade has really doubled down. Class-envy-based tax increases. $11.5 trillion in debt held by the public this year. No serious attempt to commence entitlement reform.
Of course, the spin began over the weekend. In addition to being the spokesman for the regime's position that it is all done with any pretense of upholding Constitutionally guaranteed religious freedom, Chief of Staff Jack Lew did the Sunday shows to try to put one over on the American people about the Freedom-Haters needing to come up with 60 Senate votes in order to pass a budget. He has to know better, right? He was until recently head of the OMB. Either the MEC told him to go out there and act like he didn't know better, thereby opening himself up to charges of pathetic ignorance - fall on his sword, in essence - or the guy really didn't know better. I saw part of his appearance on Fox News Sunday. He's really pretty lame as a spin doctor. Lots of platitudes - he used the word "access" every chance he got - and appeals to "fairness." Not to mention he just looks and carries himself like the quintessential pasty-faced Beltway dweeb.
And so Western civilization steps on the gas and makes a beeline for the precipice.
