I haven't run anywhere and you haven't blasted anything.

$1+ trillion for the failed stimulus, another $2.5 trillion to come for the failed obamacare and another $10 Trillion JUST on obama's most recent budget.

We went from around $500 Billion deficit under Bush to what is projected to be a $19 TRILLION deficit under obama, due to HIS budget and policies.

Last I read, it only takes Congress 6 months to spend $1 trillion dollars.
This is money we don't have yet they continue spending.

I am still trying to find out about this "failed stimulus" you keep referring to. All I can find is this... somewhere between 2 and 4 mil new jobs. Please correct the CBO for their mistake, I don't think they were applying the Sanrene test, in their evaluations.

You (you know who you are) need to stop listening to the talking heads on FOX and MSNBC and stop crowding "The Man" when he goes up for a jump shot. Imagine what might be accomplished without all those elbows in his face? You want to overcompensate for eight years of Bush excess by going on a fiscal crash diet. Dieticians will tell you that crash diets do not work and economists will tell you the same thing. At a time like this shouldn't you be listening to an economist rather than Rush "Poppers" Limbaugh? Stop thinking with your heart and use your heads. Now is not the time to attempt to punish the poor that you blame for the sorry state of America's finances. You and people like you are the reason we are still in Iraq and Afghanistan! Obama would have had us out but how could he? This country would have gone ballistic and demanded his impeachment on the spot. He capitulates and extends America's committment and without missing a beat the rhetoric comes out of the other side of the right mouth. This country could balance the budget on the military budget ALONE. Think about that. Maybe it is time to stop playing Superpower if we can't afford it? I predict a quick end to this thread after this. I also expect to see a new one start flogging the same tired conservative talking points.
