2016

For all the talk about Steve King's Iowa Freedom Summit last week, the opening salvo in the 2016 battle for the Presidency came today when President Obama proposed his 2016 budget which directly attacks income inequality through increased spending and tax cuts for the middle class and higher taxes for the Richie Rich's of America.

While republicans have had a recent come to Jesus moment with their (faux) overtures on income inequality, there is real doubt that they're going to offer any thing other than their usual and disproven tripe of tax cuts for the wealthy which will trickle down to the rest of us (and we're still waiting for a trickle....).

With this budget proposal, the President has basically forced the republicans to prove whether they really care about the American people of if they're just blowing it out their asses--and given campaign soundbites and commercials galore for Hillary Clinton.

Let's hope she has the good sense to run on it.

Peace,
