why did obama keep saying he would pay for this nonsense?

seriously, he could not suck any worse.  these cuts are only going to hurt both the economy and the people who count on this stuff, whether it's a social program or a goverment-related job.  why pay for this stuff?  interest rates are low low low.  get the folks back to work and the deficit problem goes bye bye!  either barack obama is too fucking stupid to know this, or he is such a ginormous right-wing asshole!
