Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter, a Barack Obama supporter who ran on a platform of change last year, has announced 800 city job cuts to deal with a potential $1 billion budget shortfall.
Gov. Ed Rendell, a Barack Obama supporter, recently announced $300 million in budget cuts to deal with a state budget deficit that has topped $500 million in just the first four months of the current fiscal year. Legislative leaders say the state's deficit will reach $1.5 billion to $3 billion by next year.
Years of unchecked spending by Democratic politicians are coming home to roost now that the election is over.
In Philadelphia, Nutter plans to close libraries and swimming pools and delay promised business tax cuts to deal with the budget mess the previous Democratic mayor and city council created.
How long will it be before Obama reneges on his tax cut for 95 percent of Americans? That free health care Obama promised? Sorry. Affordable college? Nope. Energy independence? Not without massive new taxes on gasoline and electricity.
Check out this column by Michelle Malkin about the long line of moochers who will expect Obama to deliver lots of government goodies to them.
I hope Obama supporters have enjoyed their non-stop party. It's time to deal with the hangover.
It's time to face reality that this country has been destroyed by Democrats in Congress ... the very same Democrats Obama supporters reelected Tuesday.
