NO! *BAD* MR. PRESIDENT! BAD!

NO BISCUIT!

President Barack Obama will call for new government spending on infrastructure, education and research in his State of the Union address Tuesday, sharpening his response to Republicans in Congress who are demanding deep budget cuts, people familiar with the speech said.

The new spending could include initiatives aimed at building the renewable-energy sector—which received billions of dollars in stimulus funding—and rebuilding roads to improve transportation, people familiar with the matter said. Money to restructure the No Child Left Behind law’s testing mandates and institute more competitive grants also could be included.

If you want expansions in Big Green payoffs and road pork, Mr. President, pay for it by cutting elsewhere first.  And if you want to enhance your re-election prospects by fiddling with NCLB, do it on your dime.  Until then… The People Have Spoken, and they have said: Stop wasting our money, you daft idjits.

PS: What?  What else needs to be said?  Cuts first, cuts that hurt; then we’ll talk about what to fund, and at what priorities.  Welcome to the New Order Of Things: that ain’t Pelosi holding the gavel anymore.

PPS: Clearly, the President has decided to not take my advice and adopt a mindset not notably different than, say, Budget Chair Paul Ryan’s.
