Obama Takes Spending to Ludicrous Speed

Investors.com - If 'Unsustainable'Is New Normal, Collapse Is Closer Than We Think

"The other day, Douglas Elmendorf, director of the Congressional Budget Office, described current deficits as 'unsustainable.' So let's make them even more so.

The president tells us, with a straight face, that his grossly irresponsible profligate wastrel of a predecessor took the federal budget on an eight-year joyride, so the only way his sober, fiscally prudent successor can get things under control is to grab the throttle and crank it up to what Mel Brooks in 'Spaceballs' (which seems the appropriate comparison) called 'Ludicrous Speed.'"
