He lied about the deficit. He said short term deficit of 10B. He said it only to get elected because it went up to 28B 3 months later.  The other option is gross incompetence.  It was a lie because they did massive spending rollouts right away so had no intention of ever sticking to the campaign promise, among others. Now they have spiralling deficits with interest rates going up.  The money the are shaking people down for is chump change it won't even cover the interest on the first deficit he ran.  There's never as much money as the socialists think there is out there, the peak of the Laffer curve has already been reached.  The lies and rhetoric about tax fairness has come to light as he has now blurted out this is about taxing the 'rich' (read: wealth generators, middle class etc) as part of his redistribution agenda. Its very sad...I'm already adjusting to make up the difference such as: not eating out, going to buy a beater instead of a new car, etc.
