(CNSNews.com) - In the budget proposal he presented to Congress last month, President Barack Obama called for what would be the highest level of sustained taxation ever imposed on the American people, according to the analysis published last week by the Congressional Budget Office.
Under Obama’s proposal, taxes would rise from 17.6 percent of Gross Domestic Product in 2014 to 19.2 percent in 2024. During the ten years from 2015 to 2024, federal taxation would average 18.7 percent GDP.
America has never been subjected to a ten-year stretch of taxation at that level.
Under Obama’s budget proposal, according to the CBO, the budget will never balance. But over the next ten years, the federal government would add $7.183 trillion to its debt held by the public.
While adding that $7.183 trillion to the debt held by the public, Obama would increase taxes by $1.4 trillion, said the CBO report.
“The President’s budget would make a number of changes to the tax law,” said the report. “If enacted, those changes would boost revenues by $32 billion in 2015, and by $1.4 trillion, or about 3 percent, during the 2015-2024 period.”
Obama’s promise: “I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits” (September 9, 2009).
According to former CBO director Douglas Holtz-Eakin and Michael Ramet of the American Action Forum, “A more comprehensive and realistic projection suggests that the new reform law will raise the deficit by more than $500 billion during the first 10 years and by nearly $1.5 trillion in the following decade.” Indeed, based on a more realistic (i.e., accurate[12]) alternative fiscal scenario to the one CBO was forced to use to score Obamacare originally, the ACA has put us on a path to add $6.2 trillion (2011 dollars) to the deficit over the next 75 years. Reasonable people might quibble about the president’s level of knowledge when he first made this pledge, but there is little doubt it has turned out to be a promise broken—by a rather extraordinary margin.
Obama’s promise: “I can make a firm pledge under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes” (September 12, 2008).
Reality: By 2022, Obamacare will have imposed just over $1 trillion in new taxes. It’s true that $318 billion of this will come in the form of taxes on payroll, dividends, capital gains, and other investment income specifically targeting taxpayers earning over $200,000 (singles) or $250,000 (married).
The further and further we go into debt. The closer we get to a Bankrupt Nation, Maybe that's what Obama and his handlers want, An America of Welfare recipients.
Watch the next few months, things will get real and clear, and please keep that obama sticker on the back of your Kia, we will know who the suckers are.
Well, now the CBO is out with a new report on Obamacare’s costs, and—sure enough—its 10-year price-tag now eclipses $2 trillion. To be more exact, the CBO now projects (see Table B-1) that the 10-year gross cost of Obamacare’s coverage provisions will be a cool $2,004,000,000,000.00.
Remember back when the Democrats tried to sell Obamacare to a skeptical citizenry as health care “reform” that would cost “only” $848 billion—far less than a trillion—over a decade?
My friend have you looked at the projected 10 cost of Obamacare?

Hiya...yes, yes...repent is a rather "odd" word for me. But, I get your meaning. I do "regret" voting for this complete imbecile. When he jumped on the scene and spoke of justice and empowerment, it sent chills up my spine.
I guess I was naive...kind of like a "dumbass" if you will. I fell for it...hook, line and sinker, he got me in the heart. However, you're right and I know it. I just feel terrible that I voted for him. I believed him.
Yet, after those stupid military guys showed up at my door in 2010 asking crazy questions to my husband (cause I was too chicken # to go to the door when they asked for me) about me and why I was looking into my Green Berets fathers death, I knew something was wrong. Somethings terribly wrong know!
It's all screwed up now and there's no way to fix any of it, except to reset.
I'm sorry for believing
