OBAMA’S BUDGET PROPOSAL for fiscal year 2010
Obama’s budget will waste taxpayer money:
NEGATIVE IMPACT OF OBAMA’S BUDGET (Ronald Reagan left office with the national debt at 42% of GDP). Reagan’s largest budget deficit of $221 billion, which caused so much consternation among Reagan’s critics.) federal budget deficit alone! (Under George Bush, the federal deficit for 2008 was 3.2% of GDP. The deficit for fiscal year 2007, in the last budget adopted when Congress was controlled by Republican majorities, was $162 billion, or 1.2% of GDP.) But the top 5% of income earners (those making over $145,283) already pays 60% of all income taxes. Bottom 50% of income earners pay about 3% of the national income taxes. energy tax on the production and use of carbon energy, such as oil, natural gas, and coal. actually represents the troop drawdown in Iraq, which was already scheduled to occur under the Bush administration. Of the remaining $500 billion in budget “savings,” fully $311 billion is categorized as “interest savings” but is actually an additional tax increase on upper income earners.
1. Taxes. Most government spending is financed by taxes, and high tax rates reduce incentives to work, save, and invest —resulting in a less motivated workforce as well as less business investment in new capital and technology. |
