Newsmax.com - Sen. DeMint: Obama Budget Claims Are Charade: "President Obama’s claims about his proposed budget are so out of touch with reality that they are Orwellian, Sen. Jim DeMint, the chairman of the Senate Steering Committee, tells Newsmax.
“When I read George Orwell’s novel ‘1984,’ I would almost smile because I would think that could never happen,” DeMint says, referring to the power of the state to subsume the truth. “But he [Obama] really is saying one thing and meaning the complete opposite. He is presenting a complete redefinition of words and ideas.”
DeMint cites Obama’s claim at his most recent news conference that his budget moves America “from an era of borrow and spend” to “save and invest.” At the same time, Obama defended adding another $9.3 trillion to the national debt, doubling the amount in six years and nearly tripling the debt in 10 years, according to figures from the Congressional Budget Office.
DeMint also cites Obama’s repeated attempts to excuse his deficit spending plans by saying he inherited a $1.3 trillion deficit from the Republicans. Yet when Obama took office, the deficit was $569 billion. He wants to increase that by another $1.276 trillion this year alone."
