How can President Obama set a budget for 10 years?

by admin on April 23, 2009



With the constitution limiting a president to 2 4-year terms maximum since Truman, how can Obama say that his staff has found a way to cut $2 Billion from the budget over the next 10 years? Does he plan on exceeding the maximum term limit in the constitution?

If the left has it’s way the U.S. constitution will mean nothing. A social dictatorship could develop.

It’s simple..

spend spend spend spend now.. then plan for massive budget cuts and tax hikes after you leave office. Of course the next president isn’t going to follow through, but it provides cover for creating more debt.

Just a plan..it’s not an action..aim the star and shoot the sky..dare to dream..may be the next president will continue his plan if really it’s a master plan..

It’s called impact. How can he implement a budget for four years without recognizing the impact on the following terms. It’s called ‘Due Diligence’ and is a part of any credible financial plan.

I agree with you that you can’t forecast what will happen next year but the requirement exists to enable contingency plans in case it doesn’t turn out as expected. Hopefully it will include worst case scenario.
