It is time to stop the pissing contest about who is to blame and fix it.
Perhaps it was a 25000 a year flight attendant in Atlanta buying a 400K house, or the institution who lent the money.
Perhaps it was the off the books war many cheered for and the intelligence community lied about to get us in it.
Perhaps it was tax cuts.
Perhaps it was all of the above.
I will gladly support a temporary 10% tax increase to pay it down.
If the government will stop stupid chit like giving disability to people who will not work. I know a grown man who is lazy. He gets disability, lives with his parents. They provide for all his needs. He spends his nights
gambling.
Another extended family member joined the service 18 months ago when she graduated from high school. It was the only way to get to college. Two days from the end of basic training was informed they made a mistake and she could not join due to a health reason. A few months ago, she received a letter stating they made a mistake and would be happy for her to join up. The letter contained an $80,000 check for their mistake.
The government needs to stop cheating and wasting money. I hold every federal elected person accountable.
I understand how a man who paid $8.99 for mashed potatoes at a grocery store hot bar would not get it.
Pays it and then complains about it as if buying it wasn't a personal choice!
I cannot wait to see how they spin their remorse after 45 leaves them holding yet another bag.
No, OP, I don't believe that the country is beyond repair now any more than it was after the Civil War or Nixon resigned or any other much more critical event/situation.
I didn't care for much of President Obama's policies. But my answer is no and the economy is not in that bad of shape.
Debt while I think it is too high is historically not that bad compared to the size of the economy.
i am cautiously optimistic that things will get even better.
Oh yeah, let's return to those wonderful days, 8 years ago, when Obama inherited the ****hole GW left us with ! Those were terrific times.........foreclosed homes all over, zillions of people out of work, the economy on the verge of collapse, and tons of people without healthcare..........Oh, and soldiers on the ground all over the place.
Ah, yes, I long for those wonderful days ! That damn Obama had to come along and make things better ! (Trumpees sure have selective memories, don't they ?)
Seriously dude! President Obama the first president in American history to not have at least 3%+ economic growth.......yeah the man was fixing it alright! I do agree President Bush screwed things up, but that housing crap, is on the left, you can't blame President bush!

Please tell me why a lender would lend money to someone they knew could not pay it back.
That CRA never told the banks they had to loan to deadbeats. It said if you are going to take deposits, you need to make some loans. Never said loan to deadbeats.
Well Obama inherited a mess himself,he tried his best(even though his best was not enough to so many) Obama did do some good things.
