WASHINGTON, D.C. -Republicans are sounding the warning sirens about a new trend in the federal government, namely the fact that the budgets do not have large enough Deficits.
President Obama's fiscal 2010 budget, now in effect, will be a return to fiscal responsibility, and the Republicans are concerned that this may "lead to socialism."
"It is a socialist, and totalitarian regime that reduces our wonderful culture of running a large deficit!" shouted Senator Lindsey Graham in the Senate Chamber on Wednesday. "We do not like the forced fiscal discipline that destroys our chances of running a huge deficit like a free country!"
"The President's 2010 budget is lacking in budget deficits to the point that I could not support it," said Senator Kay Bailey-Hutchinson, " not if I want to get re-elected in Texas!"
"Where does the President get the idea that it is appropriate to pay as you go for things?" queried Senator Orrin Hatch, R. Utah. "Where are the huge war expenditures? Where are the tax cuts for the wealthy that ensure our large deficits like in the past? Is this socialism?" he asked.
Senator Jim DeMint repeated one of his famous lines, "This is unacceptable; it is a complete Government take-over of the Government!"
In a response to the fiscal budget, Republicans defiantly held up hard copies of fiscal budgets of their own with the help of large industrial-sized cranes.
After spending 48 hours with a team of 1500 employees, we found that the budgets eliminated taxes on those making more than $150,000 per year, and started expensive wars with randomly selected industrialized nations.
Most of the expense in the wars were from no-bid contracts and suspicious employees of Haliburton being paid $95,000 each to "look busy" in the occupied countries. And most of the causes of their new deficits came from those wars and the fact that nobody who could afford to pay taxes actually had to do so in their plans.
When asked about the differences between his style as President and that of the current President, George W. Bush lamented, " I really miss our enormous REPUBLICAN DEFICIT WEDDING CAKE!"
You must recall, after 25 years of wooing, an engagement and marriage occurred in 2001 between Mr. Permanent Deficit and his fiancée Ms. Republican Party.
“I just LOVE our Elegant Deficit Wedding Cake!” Exclaimed Lindsey Graham, R. S.C.. “It cost Trillions of Dollars!”
When deciding about the cake, Ms. Republican Party had quite several years to alter the cake, which was finally finished in 2009.
“We just love the flavor of our Deficit Wedding Cake!” said Lindsey Graham, R. S. C
“This is such a huge CAKE!” Exclaimed House Speaker Dennis Hastert in 2006. “We better make sure that it looks like the Democrats are eating some!”
“We can make sure it isn’t finished baking until 2009, when I am out of here,” said Vice President Dick Cheney in 2004.
President Bush decided in 2001 that the icing should be the “tax cuts for the wealthy” flavor which starts out black and turns red and doesn't create any work.
And although there was some lively discussion about what the flavor of the cake should be, it was decided in 2002 that with some false information, a slim majority could be tricked in to deciding that much of the flavor should be a very expensive war in Iraq.
Now that the extremely rich cake has been partially eaten, several Republican legislators have reported blasts of diarrhea. These diarrhea blasts are often very loud and one even occurred in the midst of a President’s Speech during a joint session of Congress! There are still Republicans in the House with mops and buckets cleaning up the latest diarrhea blast!
