What gall!!!!!!!!!!!! Let's see if OT can defend this one.


(CNSNews.com) - President Barack Obama, who has increased the national debt by $53,377 per household, has proclaimed April “National Financial Capability Month,” during which his administration will do things such as teach young people “how to budget responsibly."

“I call upon all Americans to observe this month with programs and activities to improve their understanding of financial principles and practices,” Obama said in an official proclamation released Friday.

Tell me this is a bad April Fools joke. The man that hasn't had a budget in four years and has run up the US debt more than any other President in History is asking others to learn about how to budget responsibly. :shock:

Todd Akin, Allen West Lavished Government Money On Staff After Losing Reelection


Posted: 04/01/2013 12:00 am EDT | Updated: 04/01/2013 11:18 am EDT



WASHINGTON -- After Todd Akin lost the Missouri Senate race to Democrat Claire McCaskill in November, he had one final piece of business to take care of as an outgoing member of the House of Representatives -- giving piles of government money to his staff. Akin nearly doubled the salaries of his House staffers in the quarter after his defeat, according to the website LegiStorm, which tracks congressional pay.


Only retiring Democrat Gary Ackerman of New York was more generous with public money, barely topping Akin's 98 percent increase in pay, the website shows. Allen West, a Tea Party favorite from South Florida, was the fourth biggest giver of taxpayer bonuses after he lost reelection to Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-Fla.). Rep. Chip Cravaack (R-Minn.) was the third most generous, according to LegiStorm.


West and Akin routinely decried wasteful and out-of-control government spending, calling for major cuts to social programs.


Of the top 10 members of Congress most generous with year-end bonuses, nine were Republicans, and 14 of the top 20 were, not coincidentally, on their way out of the House.


Republican Reps. Devin Nunes (Calif.), Steve Austria (Ohio), Steve LaTourette (Ohio), Bob Turner (N.Y.), Roscoe Bartlett (Md.) and Jon Runyan (N.J.) rounded out the top 10 in 2012.


When Democrats lost a historic number of seats in 2010, outgoing members of the party lavished their staff with unspent money, with 18 of the top 20 givers carrying a D next to their name.



House staffers typically get bonuses at the end of the year depending on how much is left in the office budget, but on average in 2012 those bumps were just 16.4 percent for Republicans and 15.1 percent for Democrats. Bonuses are not labeled as such in the congressional books, but LegiStorm is able to count them by comparing the increase in reported salary in the fourth quarter to the average of the first three quarters.

I will admit I did not read your article Flounder as I'm sure it was meant to distract the topic of the most irresponsible President in History talking about others budgeting while he and his corrupt Administration bankrupts the country. :wink:

Having Obama tell you to budget responsibly is like a hooker telling a virgin she shouldn't be having sex. In other words DO AS I SAY NOT AS I DO. :roll:

The president is required by law to submit a budget proposal for the next fiscal year by the first Monday in February.

Thus far, Obama has not submitted his budget proposal for fiscal 2014.

You are joking right?? Salaries were less in 2012 than in 2008.


To see staff salaries for aides in the personal office of Rep. Todd Akin, select a time period below.

Note that the salary index for a given time period does not necessarily reflect exactly who is on staff at the present time. Also, aides for any relevant committees, leadership offices, campaign committees and leadership PACs will not be included here, nor do we have data for unpaid staff such as interns or people who are "detailed" from the GAO, executive branch or private sector.
