What is usually the best month income wise for the government shows us some troubling information. Look at April in this link and you will see that we spent more than we took in on our biggest pay day of the year.

All the spending going on has to be paid back and the governments tool for collecting this money is going to need some help. A poor economy means less taxes paid which makes printing money and lowering the value of the dollar a given. I am sure Obama had this figured into his plan but what it means is they are going to get desperate for money and have to print it.
Long term it means higher taxes for those that work and have too pay all this back. As if that wasn't bad enough taxes will be raised just to fund the current needs of government without even touching the debt.
