"...I am not interested in punishing banks..."

No Money Left Behind. Apparently education is like perpetual motion and can be supported even as funding is cut. Apparently,

...we will still face the massive deficit we had when I took office. More importantly, the cost of Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security will continue to skyrocket...

Of course, taking care of the old and sick is what's breaking the bank. The costs of supporting thousands of military bases world wide, an international force of mercenaries private contractors about the same size as the Armed Forces, endless war on five three two fronts in Afghanistan, an intelligence and national security apparatus whose entire funding is classified, and covert ops worldwide have nothing to do with the status of the national debt.

It's interesting that Barry gives a State of the Union address that might have been given by Commander Codpiece for all it's fuzziness and detail. Like Junior, the same old players- Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security -are asserted to be what are destined to break us all someday. The Empire that robs us all is not, being the real State of the Union.

I'm glad you were able to clear that up, sir. Obviously, resistance is futile. Or so you keep trying to convince us.
