主题：噢爸妈看来真是向富人和既得利益开刀了-3.6万亿美元预算 -- 黑黢黢

奥巴马的方案能成功吗？目前的争论看来主要集中在他能否把赤字降到他所宣称的水平。Krugman小心翼翼地为他辩护，而洛杉矶时报的社论在提到这一点时，带着同样的小心翼翼的狡猾，用了一个词“quixotic”（唐吉柯德式的）。

不过下面读者的评论可就直白得多了。贴一些出来。

The budget is serious smoke and mirrors. THe LAT sort of points this out. How about some follow through LAT and call this what it is? I know you are not stupid. You know its a disaster. Why don't you say so?

大意：奥巴马就是大忽悠，洛杉矶时报为什么不直接说出来？

I find it interesting that people talk about "canceling the tax cuts for the rich". The top earners already pay more than twice their share of income as the share of taxes so why complain that it's made more fair by reducing it? It's almost as if it's their obligation to cover the government's expenses. 48% of people pay ZERO taxes and complain that the rich get some relief. Obama is trying to buy votes at the expense of the future of this country and the idiots that voted for him are don't understand what they've done. No one's keeping you from making more money. Stop bitching about those that already sacrificed and did.

这是为富人鸣不平的。

It is a terrible budget that fails to control expenditures and passes the costs on to business and higher income taxpaers. The problem is that business and higher income taxpayers will not simply absorb the additional taxes, but instead adjust by cutting expenditures and raising prices, meaning higher costs and lower incomes for those who were supposedly to benefit from the changes. There is no free lunch, and this is a lesson we will learn once more and blame Obama for his deception.

这是晓之以理。富人倒霉了，靠着他们的穷人也落不着好。这种论调听起来熟悉吧？是不是跟“救美论”一个调门？

Obama, and the Democrats plans are obvious. Over the next four years with their budget plans, they plan on buying enough new Democrat votes, by hooking millions more Americans on the crack government programs, to insure a victory in 2012. Buy addicting more Americans to "free money" government programs the Democrats working to guarantee a majority of dependent voters.

深入揭批奥巴马及民主党的险恶用心。一切为了选举。。。

The Soviet Union and Eastern Europe failed because their economies collapsed. Western Europe and it's socialist policies have left Europe teetering even closer to economic collapse than the U.S. Socialism always fails. America's historic success has been based on freedom and opportunity, not a socialist guarantee of equal results. Obama's budget is a disaster for American freedom and prosperity.

这位是从历史的高度论证奥巴马路线注定没有好下场。

Elections have consequences! You elect a glib Socialist with no real experience who is beholden to the far left and has a horrible voting record! People should go look at the website "howobamagotelected" (.com) He was elected by a bunch of idiots that know nothing about the economy, so now we are going to PAY and PAY and PAY for their ignorance!

这位就更加立场鲜明了--奥巴马的选民全是sb，现在要害死我们了！
