You had better learn to ride a bicycle, Obama orders....hmm

The U.S. budget deficit rose $181 billion in July, to a record $1.3 trillion, the Congressional Budget Office reported over the weekend. You know the drill by now… tax receipts are plunging while bailout spending is soaring. In budget parlance, revenues in this fiscal year are down 17% while outlays are up 21%.

That’s a $530 billion increase in spending from fiscal 2008.

The CBO still projects the government budget deficit to exceed $1.8 trillion, about four times 2008’s record $455 deficit. More to come tomorrow, when the Treasury unveils official budget numbers.

Folks, the time is now. Join us or sit on the side line like a wimp. Do something for your country, your children and their future.
