Don Surber's plan to cut the deficit by a quadrillion or bazillion or something My plan to cut the deficit by $1 Quadrillion April 14, 2011 by Don Surber We have heard President Obama say he will cut the deficit by $4 Trillion over 12 years. As president, President Obama’s term ends at the latest in 2017 — halfway into his 12-year plan. How he controls the presidency those last 6 years is beyond me. Hypnosis? His plan — if you can call it that — had no specifics other than the Republicans will make granny starve so the rich have more money. Obama math works this way: You increase spending immediately to show how much committed you are to a program. But deficit reductions always take a good long time. It is always cutting X dollars over Y years. So here is my plan to balance the budget by cutting the deficit by $1 quadrillion over the next 1,000 years. The highlights include: * Investing $50 billion in high-speed rail so we can force people to give up their automobiles. * Reducing gasoline taxes by $10 billion a year because everybody is taking the (expletive) high-speed rail. * Imposing $770 billion in new taxes over 10 years ($77 billion a year) to pay for a $540 billion health program nobody understands over 6 years ($90 billion year) before realizing that we are losing $13 billion a year on this program. * Another $100 billion investment in education so that the United States can remain ahead of Costa Rica. * Investing another $15 billion a year to feed kids more free food so we can fight the childhood obesity caused by giving away free breakfasts, free lunches and food stamps that can be used to buy potato chips. * Spending $10 billion a year to keep down rising college costs. And on and on. If you oppose my plan, you must hate granny, children and puppy dogs. Of course nothing in my plan will actual reduce the deficit. In fact, it will add to the deficit. Which is the beauty of my plan — as well as the president’s plan. But like Obama, I simply propose new spending, call it an investment and declare it a deficit-reduction plan. That’s how they passed Obamacare. But I do know one thing, President Obama is about as serious about cutting spending as he is about winning a war — any war. So he might as well say he will cut a gajillion over the rest of time. blogs.dailymail.com
