Obama ran against Bush, but now governs like him


Ever watch the BBC sitcoms "Yes Minister" and "Yes Prime Minister"?

No, but at your suggestion, I just ordered "Yes Prime Minister" from
Netflix. It has good reviews. Right now we are wallowing in Commissario
Montalbano, Commissario Guido Brunetti, and Detective Kurt Wallander,

Both the House and Senate budget plan would have cut Social Security and Medicare, while cutting taxes on the wealthy.

Kucinich noted that none of the government programs targeted for

"appeared on the GAO's list of government programs at high risk of
waste, fraud and abuse."

[W]e have the situation with the deficit and the debt and spending and jobs. And it's not that difficult to get out of it. The first thing you do is you get rid of corporate welfare. That's hundreds of billions of dollars a year. The second is you tax corporations so that they don't get away with no taxation.
