If Obama wins, will we need a bigger National Deficit clock?

I hear if Obama wins, the National Devt will become so big, the next clock will have a digit for "Quadrillion", since Trillion will be too small.




Is it good to end the war in Iraq and save $120 bil/year and then go out and spend $870 billion/year??? That would leave the USA in a $750 billion a year DEFICIT!

Obama wants to tax Cap gains tax when people are making $0 on stocks. The rich will all move their money to teh Cayman Islands where the IRS cannot touch.

The only answer to Obama's plan is to tax the Middle Class! He won't say that, but Obama's votes are clear - Obama wnated to raise taxes on people making $42,000/year. I am save, as I am in the $35,000/year range, but you suckers will get hammered!

Are you even paying attention? They already had to drop the $ because they ran out of digits. The national debt doubled under Bush and you think Obama will be bad?

This is pathetic denial.

Give me a break, Republican George Bush is the reason we have a record deficit today...it's time for a new direction.

It'll be worse than when Carter was in office.

I didn't think it could be done, but Bush actually accomplished something I thought nobody would be able to do. He actually makes Carter look good.

Ok, so Bush is a Neo-Liberal and spend a lot. Does that mean we need someone who will spend even more?!?!?

Your argument is like saying "Reps are a party of big government, and the Dems is a party of even BIGGER government".

I think it will be much worse than Carter too. If the Great Depression doesn't hit the US if Obama wins, then Obama will definitely cement his claim to be the "new messiah".

Ps. Poogie, I cannot give you another positive feedback point. Stop posting too many good posts! Hehe.

Last time I looked, Bush's administration drove us into this mess. I am sure McCain will be flexing his "big stick" and trying for global domination driving us even deeper and deeper.

Wow newtoli, like that graphic!

Just let this thread die. Fun2Day's tactic is to start a thread with the most asinine and obnoxious post he can think of, then sits back and refuses to back up his statement (because it's impossible).

He's a troll - pure and simple.
