If the unrestrained spending continues, no matter which party leads us down that path, and the government inflates the money supply to pay off the growing debt, the US will go the way of Argentina, Zimbabwe and the Weimar Republic within a few decades. If that happens, there will be no need to ask "who has suffered because of _______'s policies?" The answer will be, "Everyone."
tea bagger bigots that need to go back to work would be a better term
Again, they are known as "tea party."
And how is a group of people who are against government overspending "bigots?" Unless you mean bigoted against government overspending, in which case I guess I am a "bigot" in that regard, too.
Okay, Here are some things that the last three pages of posters clearly don't know.
1st of all. George Bush signed into law the raise on the cap on the national debt. He did so in 2003, he doubled the cap from 5 Trillion, to 12 Trillion.
2nd of all. It was Bush's model of spend spend spend, less tax, tax breaks, stimulus checks, that had our country go from a Balanced Budget into a 1.5 Trillion deficit.
3rd of all. It will take another act of Congress and a presidential signature, to raise that cap on the national debt a second time, if they choose too. Otherwise they cannot spend freely, they actually do run out of money. There are limits.
Also, Bush practiced the tried and failed method of Trickle down economics, removing 40 years worth of regulations off of the Utilities companies, Banks, and Foreign investment firms. Then giving them tax breaks. And 6 years of that, caused the most catastrophic bank failure that the world has ever seen.
This problem was fixed by a huge government spending bill. Which amounts to an 800 Billion dollar credit card, that Congress can use at their discretion.
For your information that money has been paid back by the banks, and what they are trying to do is reuse some of that unspent money to tackle the healthcare issue.
Also, it's wise to note, that there was a series of 8 or 9 mini depressions that occurred up unto the great depression, which made it evident that the free markets, when left unchecked, do not ultimately balance themselves out. That is why we have a set of over 300 separate pieces of legislation referred to as Social Security, in place, to prevent those sorts of catastrophic failures again.
The real reason for the deficit, is a lack of working american people. Our country has lost approximately 40,000 jobs every single month since 1970. It's a fact that almost every president has tried to shield you from finding out. The situation is so bad that parts of states that used to be industrial, are now being rezoned as virgin land.
The honest truth is that there are over 50 million people without jobs right now, which makes up approximately 1/3rd of our entire workforce.
The 10% number that they are spouting to you on the news does not take into consideration the millions of people who are not on unemployment, or who are ineligible to apply for them.
No grief is being caused, that wouldn't have been caused if another President was in power. What's going on would have happened regardless.
Nothing new that hasn't happened before. It was always about greed, selfishness, and may the best man win, in this country. Why are so many surprised? Get a hold of yourselves.
I'm sorry, and I could care less what these scare tactic neo-cons have to say. It falls on deaf ears.
The Neo-cons/GOP/Tea Douchebaggers/Pubes (short for Republican as I call them) see Obama, and that's all they need to see for their hatred to come out.
To them, regardless of what he does, they'll never approve of it. We all know why, but who cares? The world will go on. "Que sera, sera" as they say.
People are just mad that Sarah's not the one winking on TV, telling people "You betcha" during news conferences .
America could not stand having another idiot, after G.W. Something had to give. (To those with a rebuttal, as much as you hate Obama, you can't possibly tell anyone he's not intelligent. If you deny it, your hate is what's making you say it) <--- Don't waste your time with a rebuttal on this one.
Sarah, keep being on TV, proclaiming you hate attention...( You Dumb ASs)

Maybe he thought it was going to be a free lunch, joining the military. He better eat his heart out.

Tell me about it. I've never seen whining in my life, like I have over the past year. Sad, isn't it?
Lets see, I have made more money under Obama than ever before. My interest on my house is now lower than it ever was under Bush. My retirement fund is coming back after losing a boatload of money while Bush was in office. I'm worked more overtime last year than I did the 3 years prior. All in all, I am doing pretty good. Thankyou Obama.
you, as a citizen, also OWE more money than you ever did before.
Anti-Obama? What Suffering Has Obama Caused To You?
Many people here constantly rant and rave about Obama. What negative effects has the Obama Administration had on your life. Has he caused you to lose your job? Your home? Instigated domestic strife?
The troops are still in the same places where Bush sent them. The Patriot Act has been extended. So what are the negative results in your life that you can directly attribute to Obama being the President? Please be specific.
the pat act is a bad piece of legislation and still waiting for pbo to get rid of it. pbo also said that fisa would be trimmed down as well, still nothing there. waiting him to only tax people making 250K or more instead of everyone. just goes to show that liberal/democrat politicians love to steal money from the people more than they like to help people out.
oh yeah, waiting for everything to be open and on cspan for all to see, no earmarks, and have fiscal responsibility.
something that neither democrats nor republicans can produce.
