It's pretty blatant. Not difficult to see at all.

I see you're screaming very loud about Obama outdoing Bush so who's more hypocritical? The people that didn't complain when it first happened or the people that complained when it first was happening and now are eerily silent the second go around?


I'm doing what about Obama? You must be thinking of another poster, because I said nothing about Obama. I said nothing about Bush, either. I'm talking about you, Jon. You, and rightwingers like you.

Seems like you wrote some pretty big checks while you were packing your things out of that pretty white house. Dang it, if only we could of gotten McCain and Palin in there, why she could've fixed everything the red camp screwed up just off that book deal and those pretty pictures she posed for. Well, guess it'll just be easier to blame the ol' Obama for this whole mess, cause CNN knows what the heck they're talking about. Why Anderson Cooper must've suggested some way of fixin' this, he knows everything. Kinda like all the other finger pointers out there saying "told you so"! Pretty easy to point out a problem and not lift a finger to fix it. That's all American media is good at.
If you want to fire up the economy in our country, get your butt out of the box stores and buy local American made products. Makes sense to keep the money here, in America, where it helps rebuild our infrastructure by providing local jobs and services. Local jobs means more money being spent locally. Had we done this in the first place neither Bush or Obama would've had to pump false money into the economy. Our number one export must be jobs and in return we import debt. If we can't do this at a grass roots level and help ourselves, who do you think is going to help us?
Well stated and so true! Whay jumps off the page about your post is the fact that it is most likely the people that are the Walmart and other big chain store fans are bitching about the economy and all the while not getting the fact that without a strong manufacturing base in The USA, we are never going to recover. Buy and demand USA made merchandise or shut your stupid mouths about the economy!

That wasn't a quote from the CNN story you referenced. It was saggy's.

Apparently, you have a comprehension problem.

Oh brother. And what you quoted from me was a response to someone else, not you. Read the thread yourself. I'm done arguing this nonsense, and I'm certainly not going to show the obvious to someone who refuses to see.

I'm questioning sanrene's math and accounting skills, not the desirability of borrowing money.
Actually its your math which needs questioned.

The total of the debt in question is over how many years? The total of your mortgage debt is how many years? Hint, if they arent the same, its not a valid equation.

Ahh, the story is from CNN... Did you even read it, or did you jump to defend those in Washington because you seen it was a posting by sanrene?

Interest due on U.S. debt: Close to $5 trillion - Nov. 19, 2009

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Here's a new way to think about the U.S. government's epic borrowing: More than half of the $9 trillion in debt that Uncle Sam is expected to build up over the next decade will be interest.
Note the link goes to

money.cnn.com

See that little CNN in there?

Again, did you even click the link to read it because CLEARLY if you did, you would have noticed CNN..

I just love it when you talk dirty, Saggy. Dust off that vocabulary and spin us a few more lines. I damn near need a thesaurus to keep up with you. Are all the lefties so damn smart?

Hurray. You're catching on, too!

And it's been posted here at CD. Did you not know that we're posting at CD? Why are you defending illegal immigrants?

Reading is fundamental. The OP now bases her claims on the results of statistical models and projections. When the same analyses show that the stimulus bill has added about three points to the GDP growth rate and about a million jobs to the economy, well, then the results aren't quite so reliable it seems. Another example of deliberate cherry-picking, aka expecting to have your cake and eat it too. This is as close to honesty as the right-wing air-horns ever get...

there is no way to pretend that jobs have been added, even hypothetically, when unemployment is the highest that it has been in 26 years, and continues to rise.

do we believe you or our own lying eyes?
