How Obama Plans To Cut The Deficit

Up until yesterday, I wasn't quite sure how Obama was planning to dig himself out of those massive deficits he's creating. Then, it came to me. What a sly dog! He's going to do it by simply nominating Democrats to his cabinet and exposing their past tax evasions. Then, the deficit will be reduced by making them pay restitution plus penalties before they get the job. Pure genius!

He's already got cash back from Tim Geithner, Caroline Kennedy (not actually nominated; just was in the running), Tom Daschle, Ron Kirk, and Nancy Killefer. Now, just within the last few days, Kathleen Sebelius got nailed for her past of going "unpaid" on her taxes (See Full Story).

This unpaid tax problem might be one of the reasons why Geithner can't fill the 17 open positions in his Treasury Department. It just might be that he can't find anybody in his circle of friends that will pass the "old taxes" muster. To take the job with Geithner might cost them some hefty sums in their tax scofflaws.

Let's not forget all those other Democrats that didn't get nominated by Obama but still got caught cheating on their taxes like New York Rep. Charles Rangel and former Mayor and current D.C. Councilman , Marion Barry, and so many others.

The Democrats are starting to look a lot like that old exterminator's saying about cockroaches: "If you find one...you probably got a 100 in the walls." If that's true, we still have a lot of roaches to uncover!

Didn't Joe Biden, our great Vice President, once say that it was our "patriotic duty" to pay taxes? Given that, I wonder what that says about all these Democratic tax cheats in the new Obama White House. What does it say about the guy who was hiring them?
