So, the President promises us transparency in government...
Now, the first Obama Budget is released...with NO DETAIL...
The document use poor taxpayers have access to is nothing by his speech to Congress nicely packaged...
No details...just extremely high-level numbers...
Still waiting for transparency to become clear...

Sounds a lot like GWB...change! Although, I do appreciate the move to put the funding of the wars in the budget...even if it is for political theater.

Yea, but it's still going to be borrowed money...so in the budget or part of a supplemental bill, it's all the same...more debt...ASUMountaineer wrote:Sounds a lot like GWB...change!

Re: Budget as Transparent as Iron
I agree, but at least it's part of the reported budget. Not keeping the actual debt hidden as before.Col Hogan wrote:Yea, but it's still going to be borrowed money...so in the budget or part of a supplemental bill, it's all the same...more debt...ASUMountaineer wrote:Sounds a lot like GWB...change!
