And look what we have to show for all that new 0bama debt, 50 year high in US poverty level, yippee.


Oh wait, what a fool I am, we bailed out all the banks, and gave away tons of money to the political and corporate cronies of 0bama, and other well connect Washington politicians. Doh!

yeah if you think i will 'trust' a Democrat with a 50 cent piece you are wrong.

And see the no in bold..... You DID mean to say it that way did you not?

No Credit Cindy.........

Every discussion with a lib on this subject, always seems to go back to the idea that if it was good enough for the hated and maligned Boooosh, then it's exactly what 0bama should do to... because "0bama is just like Booosh, just like Boosh!"

But at least they would have something to show for it, we have NOTHING to show for all this debt, not a damn thing. If 0bamaCare is supposed to cost us $1 trillion over ten years, in four years time, 0bama added enough debt that could have funded 0bamaCare for 60 years.

And what is worse is they invest in keeping people in debt and they get the value from the very people they are keeping in debt. Absolute total slavery.

So? "Lowest since" does not mean "taxing too little."

I fail to see your point because you've failed to explain your comment.

Not spending at all would, wouldn't it. But that's never an option for a liberal or almost any politician. The idea of actually spending LESS is completely foreign to them. Spending more than you did last year is not a spending cut no matter how politicians and the media spin it.
