Obama Fiddles While Taxpayers Burn

Team Obama promised another $150 million of your tax dollars to the Palestinian Authority today. In June of this year, Obama gave the Palestinians $900 million.

(Reuters) - The United States will give an additional $150 million to the Palestinian Authority as Washington seeks to boost the fledgling government amid an impasse in peace talks with Israel, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, on the home front, President Obama's debt commission is proposing to raise your retirement age and cut your social security to save money. They are also proposing to eliminate the tax deductions for employer provided health insurance coverage, charitable contributions, mortgage interest deductions and employer contributions to employee 401(k)/pension plans. I would call this the 'work till death' plan.
