President Obama’s budget chief hinted Wednesday that the president’s signature campaign issue — a middle-class tax cut — will not likely survive a budget battle with Democrats on Capitol Hill.

On a conference call with reporters in advance of the president’s trip to the Hill to speak before the Senate Democratic caucus, Office of Management and Budget Director Peter Orszag indicated that, while 98 percent of the budget mark-ups in the House and Senate are on par with the administration’s budget blueprint, some campaign trail promises, like middle-class tax cuts, may get left on the cutting room floor.

Xerxes wanted Greece (America via absolute power). Greece was a historical marvel, a center of art, sculpture, architecture, commerce, and a former world-ruling empire. Just as all good Democrats and Republicans think today, Xerxes (Obama and the Owners of The Federal Reserve “System”) thought the best way to get his hands on all those goodies in Greece (America) was to steal (tax) them from their rightful owners.

Some in Greece (Americans) weren’t sure if the battle was coming and wanted to live in denial. They didn’t take steps to prepare a defense for their country for an army of the Persian size.

Eventually the Greeks (Americans) came to know that the Persians were coming, but they were not prepared and felt that they were only left with “negotiating and accommodating” their (Congressional) enemies, as the problem was that they had very little time to prepare.

A Spartan General and King named Leonidas took 300 fighting men and placed them and himself between Persia’s 600,000 advancing troops and the area where the larger Greek army was formulating a defense. That initial battle would be 300 men against 600,000. The odds didn’t look promising.

While the Senate was constructing the $787 billion stimulus last month, Dodd added an executive-compensation restriction to the bill. The provision, now called “the Dodd Amendment” by the Obama Administration provides an “exception for contractually obligated bonuses agreed on before Feb. 11, 2009” — which exempts the very AIG bonuses Dodd and others are now seeking to tax.

The Taliban’s new top operations officer in southern Afghanistan had been a prisoner at the Guantanamo Bay detention center, the latest example of a freed detainee who took a militant leadership role and a potential complication for the Obama administration’s efforts to close the prison.

U.S. authorities handed over the detainee to the Afghan government, which in turn released him, according to Pentagon and CIA officials.

However, in February, Obama passed his $787 billion stimulus aimed at jolting the declining U.S. economy. Before a joint session of Congress, Obama declared: “Now, I’m proud that we passed a recovery plan free of earmarks.”

Some chuckled with amusement as the crowd withheld applause.

“There was just a roar of laughter – because there were earmarks,” Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., told CNN.

Glenn Beck reported on March 3, 2009 that the the Cap-and-Trade Program in Europe was an extreme detriment to their economy and is having a dramatic impact on their economy and is a significant apart of the reason for the loss of jobs and resulting in otherwise prosperous individuals to become poor and bankrupt. These people are losing their homes and having a hard time to pay for food and other needs because of the increased costs on all products and services resultant from significant taxes and costs resultant directly from Cap-and-Trade. The Europe Cap-and-Trade also resulted in limiting NO carbon emissions but did limit business profits and economic growth of jobs and wages.

The Marshall Institute using sources like M.I.T. and the E.P.A. and found that the Cap-and-Trade program proposed by The U.S. Congress and the B.O. Administration, which is SPEEDING its way to passage by our Congress RIGHT NOW, would result in a GDP loss from 0.3% up to 3.0% below the normal business projections in 2015!
