主题：噢爸妈看来真是向富人和既得利益开刀了-3.6万亿美元预算 -- 黑黢黢

改革劲头高，而且都是逆意识形态的改革

奥巴马的方案能成功吗？目前的争论看来主要集中在他能否把赤字降到他所宣称的水平。Krugman小心翼翼地为他辩护，而洛杉矶时报的社论在提到这一点时，带着同样的小心翼翼的狡猾，用了一个词“quixotic”（唐吉柯德式的）。

不过下面读者的评论可就直白得多了。贴一些出来。

The budget is serious smoke and mirrors. THe LAT sort of points this out. How about some follow through LAT and call this what it is? I know you are not stupid. You know its a disaster. Why don't you say so?

大意：奥巴马就是大忽悠，洛杉矶时报为什么不直接说出来？

I find it interesting that people talk about "canceling the tax cuts for the rich". The top earners already pay more than twice their share of income as the share of taxes so why complain that it's made more fair by reducing it? It's almost as if it's their obligation to cover the government's expenses. 48% of people pay ZERO taxes and complain that the rich get some relief. Obama is trying to buy votes at the expense of the future of this country and the idiots that voted for him are don't understand what they've done. No one's keeping you from making more money. Stop bitching about those that already sacrificed and did.

这是为富人鸣不平的。

It is a terrible budget that fails to control expenditures and passes the costs on to business and higher income taxpaers. The problem is that business and higher income taxpayers will not simply absorb the additional taxes, but instead adjust by cutting expenditures and raising prices, meaning higher costs and lower incomes for those who were supposedly to benefit from the changes. There is no free lunch, and this is a lesson we will learn once more and blame Obama for his deception.

这是晓之以理。富人倒霉了，靠着他们的穷人也落不着好。这种论调听起来熟悉吧？是不是跟“救美论”一个调门？

Obama, and the Democrats plans are obvious. Over the next four years with their budget plans, they plan on buying enough new Democrat votes, by hooking millions more Americans on the crack government programs, to insure a victory in 2012. Buy addicting more Americans to "free money" government programs the Democrats working to guarantee a majority of dependent voters.

深入揭批奥巴马及民主党的险恶用心。一切为了选举。。。

The Soviet Union and Eastern Europe failed because their economies collapsed. Western Europe and it's socialist policies have left Europe teetering even closer to economic collapse than the U.S. Socialism always fails. America's historic success has been based on freedom and opportunity, not a socialist guarantee of equal results. Obama's budget is a disaster for American freedom and prosperity.

这位是从历史的高度论证奥巴马路线注定没有好下场。

Elections have consequences! You elect a glib Socialist with no real experience who is beholden to the far left and has a horrible voting record! People should go look at the website "howobamagotelected" (.com) He was elected by a bunch of idiots that know nothing about the economy, so now we are going to PAY and PAY and PAY for their ignorance!

这位就更加立场鲜明了--奥巴马的选民全是sb，现在要害死我们了！

大家自己去看吧。真是一出活剧啊。

他这个许诺不过是为了让今年的预算案能过关，反弹小。开什么玩笑，１３年赤字能到５０００亿？一个是２５万以上所得税收入增税能赠收多少，大头还是中产阶级那里。１１年reverse布什的减税才是关键。２而且奥的支票开的太多了。基本都不对症下药。

比如医疗，美国医疗的关键是成本太高，效率太低。解决方法是控制医疗赔偿，增加医生，护士的供给，控制医药成本把总的医疗成本降下来。而且这种私人医生的作法实在不怎么样。奥的做法是扩大保险人群，最后就是这个医疗大饼更大，医疗费用更高。他这个是解决问题吗？到时候最后负担还不是加在财政上。

他的绿色能源，就是想在搞个更大的绿色泡沫出来，但是现在能源价格低，负担全在政府上，将来通胀一来，什么都完蛋。而且那个排放许可，真搞起来美国死得不要太快。

一句话，奥在美国欧洲化上走了一大步。现在就等着８年后共和党人在来change一回吧。美国现在的问题其实说白了，就是国家实力已经减弱了，以前能 work的招数现在不行了。美国人要作的是改变生活方式。想不改变生活方式选个耶稣出来，大家照常是不行的。奥喊change上台，但美国人没人想 change生活方式, 奥真change, 美国人会不干的，民意会下来，然后奥就会change course. 现在是蜜月期，怎么喊都没事。几年后看吧。
