Your 1.85 trillion dollars of deficit for 2009 seems low.
Your letting blowhard Obama and jerkface Bernake off light...
What happen to:
---- the 2 trillion give away to the banks.
--- the other 0.9 trillion give away to the banks and car companies.
--- the 2 trillioan dollar porkulus "stimulas" package
All in 6 months.
Finally let's not forget Congress...Congress is always the reason the Congress proposes all spending, the President only approves or Vetos.
Then there is the american people who keep approving of a wasteful government.
If all the government shutdown tommorrow,,,,It would not effect my life.
Mountain of Debt- "May Be" the next crisis! Why do you report "May Be"? Why not report FACT? Reporters are suppose to report FACT and not May Be. Guess you just want to drive the market down. Take your degree back to the school that you got it at and see if they will refund your money.
First of all... this is another (AP) story. They don't report true facts... just the "facts" they want us to hear. Why has the "Federal Reserve" never been audited? Why can no one "audit" Fort Knox for that matter? We need an independent, honest, by the people audit of the whole system. Problem is, the Money Masters have made the system so complex, that it will take a revolution to sort it out.
Funny thing, God can run the universe on 10 simple rules. Simply put... love for God and love for each other. "The government who governs least... governs best. We are the ones who refuse to do the right thing.
duh, as if we didn't know the debt and poor government spending. We
the people also know that we will be the suffering ones to pay for it
and not the governement of a******.
There are no adults in government. The federal government led by obama is out of control . A bunch of childish junkies. The state governments with california at the top of the list are a carborn copy of these childish junkies in washington. Cut spending stop the nonsense be statesmen. Governments like this are a step from total totalitarianism. Sucking your money out of you and your freedom. I suggest impeaching obama and then go down the list one after another
A reasonable summary but doesn't tell us what we don't already "know" (supposing that the government is telling the truth). But we have known this for years and no one wants to address the problem. As a matter of fact, a scant 170 days ago, the american public voted into office a government with a socialistic philosophy destined to take on additional government spending and additional debt. We will never "get the message" until we have a "financial 9-11" and then we will all suffer for a while and then we will all heal slowly.
The moron that likens this to the debt of Hamilton´s day knows nothing about history and the reason for the federal government being in such debt at that time and how Hamilton was able to make the best out of it. These fools in DC now are no Alex. Hamilton!, more of an FDR bunch. No he did not save us from the Depression; Japan did when they bombed Pearl.
Get ready folks soon the dollar won´t be worth a Continental. Sure glad we sold the store to the Chinese, and Arabs, they have always been such good friends to the USA!
Comrade Obama is hell bent on spending us into oblivion. He and his minions have rushed through laws that will bankrupt this nation sooner rather than later. He is so caught up in socialistic idealism that he cannot see reality. Our currency is no longer respected and double digit inflation is just around the corner. Young people would be wise to learn Chinese.
most of you were probably abused as children, as the reason for being so spiteful?
we may be in debt but we have nice new bridges,new power grid,new hospitals and new government buildings.in iraq.go figure.
you should all watch IOUSA, which is a documentary explaining how this mountainous debt came about throughout history...one thing I found most interesting is despite any spending by the government, the fact is, there is a negative savings rate in this country...meaning we spend more than we earn...that is something we control...also the massive transfer of wealth to China which will eventually give them massive economic power over the US. because they own so much of our debt...we need to make stuff again, and have more net exports
Where the hell did all our money go? Where are the trillions we spent?
Certainly not in our pockets. It just kept the rich rich, and the poor, poor. All our money, for what? This rat hole we are in. I'll bet those who have our trillions are going to be just fine thru this DEPRESSION coming. They won't be in the soup lines, they'll be eating Filet Mignon, with our money. The government, wall street, will do nicely!!
Well well well...most of the US voted in this administration that is out of control and now they complain. Don't blame me..I saw through all the smooth talking. Most voters just vote in the guy the promises them the most. They never think about the consequences. But wait until the new health care plan is pushed through.and see what that does for the national debt. In 10 years we will all be waiting in line for doctor appointments and needed surgeries...
The "stimulus" plan was nothing more than a welfare bill. Welfare does not have any benefit on the economy whatsoever. That's why it isn't working. Obama basically flushed almost $800 billion down the toilet for us.
Richard you need to go on the NBC or ABC website and blog there. I don't think you will find much sympathy for your "abused childhood" theory on this website. I was going to mention CBS as well but Helen Thomas has given me some hope of late.
So, how does the curent adminstration paln on fixing this problem? By spending more money it doesn't have. Brilliant.
The one thing that makes it look worse is that finally the Obama team put the war effort on the budget instead of the previous classification of the effort as "off budget". Clearly accountability is needed on both sides but trying to spin it as Obama (who has been in office how long) is misleading at best.
The IOUSA movie mentioned above is getting a little dated with respect to some data (personal savings rate is now 6.9%) but the message is still true. To view go to http://www.iousathemovie.com/
If California is allowed to use IOU 10/1 the Fed uses the same for any domestic spending . Foreign will not accept it Before long they may start demanding payment in Gold since the dollar will turn to tolit paper. or maybe tolit paper will be worth more.
Obutthead and his Commie Cronies have been running the Funny Money Presses night and day since January .Printing money without anything to back it up produces what ?....class......HYPER-INFLATION . This is a FACT . Your one dollar bill will be worth 30 cents in 3 months unless they stop the presses , FACT .....Hyper-Inflation produces what ?....class.....Weak dollar....Weak Dollar produces what ?....class ...Skyrocketing Oil prices as a hedge against inflation and the WEAK DOLLAR....FACT .
The Libturd MORONS are attempting to ruin us and they will succeed if WE do not demand they STOP THE PRESSES...Its a start .
NODEMS 2010
NOBAMA 2012
How's that hope & change going America. Do you feel good when you wake up inthe mornng and listen to NPR? As for me, 2010 and 2012 can't come fast enough to let this nightmare of an administration end.
The Democrats have done what they set out to do, is destory us the people of the USA. They want a one party system GOV. and they've just about got it. If we don't stop these people in the but we're going to live under a GOV. that will kill anyone who resist them. Isee this coming very soon if we let OBAMA keep doing what he is doing now. They can live high above us while we suffor they are demons in the world we live in this day.
I'm a little uncomfortable with the line about the founding fathers creating a 'legacy' of debt. Seems like a lame attempt to spread the guilt around a little.There's a significant difference between the founders creating a debt while in the process of creating a free country and the irresponsible wasting of tax dollars by a group of idiots that couldn't manage a lemonade stand.
Rising debt maybe next crisis?
What do you expect when you quadruple the debt and waste money with no accountable? China has lost faith in the dollar as a result of this bungling administration.
Michael's Mountain of Love replaced with Obama's Mountain of Debt; Top 10 vs. Bottom 10.

Never fear the People's State of Comrade Savior Curious BO BO can simply print more money. And the stupid sheep taxpayers are morons anyway so raise taxes on them until they go under or die, then find others to soak and punish. Drive the evil capitalists and their sick profit making ways from our shores with fees, taxes, regulations, strangle them with the POWER of Comrade Savior Curious BO BO and his shining righteousness. Fairness, Hope, Change mean that WE MUST spend and spend and do what we think is good and right such as free health care for all, free for all.. REPARATIONS are next and you producers had better get ready for the death of capitalism and forget the white, corrupt, RICH founding fathers.....
LOL! If anybody didn't see that one coming, they just got their heads so far up Obama's ass that it's stuck in there!
Tell us something we don't already know.......
North Carolina's former governor Mike Easley is proof that the LIBERALS are being told lies by the Dems they have voted into office. Easley's scandals are reported daily in NC but they seem to never make NATIONAL HEADLINES. Especially over the love affair of the South Carolina Governor. Axlerod had a love affair more complex and yet they NEVER mention it. Wake up people. The MEDIA runs this country and our opinions by false biased reporting.
