Assumptions

Posted by Always To The Right on Friday, February 05, 2010 3:32:56 PM

Why is Obama ignoring trustees on future Medicare costs?

Andrew Biggs deconstructs the budgetary assumptions of the Obama budget proposal and finds that the White House has ignored the findings of the Medicare trustees, perhaps the first time an administration has contradicted them.   The trustees have found that the aging population of the US creates most of the inflationary pressure on future Medicare costs, a finding that has been corroborated by the Congressional Budget Office as well.  However, Obama’s budget presumes that the biggest pressure on health-care costs will be “excess cost growth,” which they claim will be solved by ObamaCare

By refusing to accept the nonpartisan analysis of the Medicare trustees and of the CBO, the White House has politicized these projections as a means to push Congress into accepting a very ill-considered remedy for an entirely wrong diagnosis.

Be sure to read all of Biggs’ analysis, and while you’re at it, also read E21’s analysis of the “doc fix” and its impact on these accelerating federal costs for health care.

The Interpol Question

Posted by Always To The Right on Tuesday, December 29, 2009 11:01:09 PM
By Michelle Malkin  •  December 29, 2009 05:33 PM

Last week, Steve Schippert at ThreatsWatch first raised questions about a White House executive order that appears to give Interpol immunity from American law.

See Steve’s full analysis here.

Andy McCarthy weighed in here with more questions

Where’s the MSM, which used to be on every Bush executive order like white on rice? The only MSM interest so far seems to be from ABC White House reporter Jake Tapper, who Tweets that he has asked the Obama administration twice about it with no response.

How long can the stonewall stand?

Did yesterday’s Nobel speech announce the “Obama doctrine”?

. . . the real “Obama doctrine”? Step one: Diplomacy. Step two: International sanctions, or unilateral ones if absolutely necessary. Step three: Repeat as necessary.

Who Spends The Money?

Posted by Always To The Right on Wednesday, December 09, 2009 1:06:57 AM

WaPo repeats “inherited” deficit fallacy

But back to the civics lesson.  Budgets do not come from the White House.  They come from Congress, and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democratic Party.  They controlled the budget process for FY2008 and FY2009, as well as FY2010 and FY2011.  In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases.  For FY2009, though, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office.  At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the FY2009 budgets.

And where was Barack Obama during this time?  He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete FY2009.
