Everyone surrounding Our Dear Reader is inept, a fraud, a liar, and a Socialist.

F Lew

He will be confirmed. The Senate confirms cabinet appointees.

Throw him in jail instead.

What Budget?

First, Bill Clinton never considered a balanced budget when he entered office, or campaigned on one.

Second, the 1994 budget stalemate with Newt, froze spending at previous year´s level.

Third, demographic spike created large increase in Social Security funds which created the "surplus".

Fourth, look up the national debt, and determine if the borrowing stopped during those couple years when we had a "surplus".

Yeah, but he is so easy for ValJar to control.

Obama appointee??? Hell´s Bells Tim Geithner Secy of the Treasury; was a Tax Cheat, whose excuse was he was unable to understand Turbo Tax?
Jack Lew is just incompetent. Certainly, that is no dis-qualifier from working with Zippy in a Top Regime Job...
All of Crapweasel´s first term appointees were so bad, they just ´deemed´ them, Czars... and failed to even try, to run them before a Congressional Appointment Committee.

If Carl Marx isn´t available they seem happy enough with Groucho.

Consider this:

´´Bet you didn´t know what´s hidden in The Gun Control Act of 1968.

The Treasury Secretary is vested with the right to ban importation of any firearm he finds "does not have a sporting purpose."

While this authority is "currently" delegated to the BATFE, it doesn´t have to remain delegated. In fact, there is nothing legislative about that delegation to the best of my knowledge, which means it can be revoked by pure fiat.

Jack Lew, the person most-likely to be nominated to replace Geithner, is Obama´s current Chief of Staff. As such it must be presumed that he will do whatever Obama wants, within the limit of his statutory authority.

And that authority includes the ability to ban the import of any gun.´´

There is a ton of Lew history in this relatively short article. Have the drivebys read it?

An example:

Contrary to Obama´s claim this week, Lew didn´t "deliver" three years of budget surpluses in the late 1990s with Clinton.

Those surpluses were written into law by a Republican Congress that refused to spend as much as Clinton wanted.

As for Lew´s experience as an aide to O´Neill in the 1980s, recall that Democrats then agreed to $3 in spending cuts for every $1 in tax hikes under the 1982 budget deal.

But when it came time to cut spending, as agreed, they refused. It was a big lie, and they blamed Reagan for the deficits.

How can we talk intelligently and inform anyone else (the MSM won´t) if we don´t read what is served to us with a spoon hera at LCom?

We´ve seen this situation before. Back when "Big Al" Capone hired Chi-Town´s Jake "Greasy Thumb" Guzik to handle the books, it certainly wasn´t due to Mr. Guzik´s strict adherence to "auditing standards."

He can´t be more inept than TurboTax Timmy, the house elf.

Obama and his entire administration are disqualified for their positions. It´s a real problem, and getting worse.
