U.S. taxpayers are helping finance Greek bailout | The Daily Caller

We are broke..Plain and simple.
There's no B.Sing. it anymore but now were are bailing out the world? WTF
Yes yes I realize we have been doing this all along but times are different....WERE BROKE!

So we borrow money from China with interest and bail out the rest of the world which we will never get fully paid back....I doubt we will even get the interest payments back.

How about we just tell China to lend the money instead of us borrowing it?....You know why....Because they're not that FKING STUPID!
We are!!!!

And people out there are going to try and tell me the destruction of the U.S. is not coming..

Socialism/Liberalism/Progessivism is one big FKING failure and the U.S. taxpayer is on the hook.

It's suicidel as a country what we are doing. What this administration is doing and has done is insane. They have to be doing all this on purpose to bring this country down. They can't be this stupid to believe what they are doing will save this country.

Why don't you read something like the Wall Street journal instead of right wing blogs. You probably wouldn't need to post questions about things that you don't understand.

Just curious, but what's the difference?

Anyhow, we are broke. What's worse, nobody is lending us money anymore, so the Federal Reserve is just printing it. In case you haven't noticed prices on food, fuel, and other commercial goods are rising as the international confidence in the dollar declines.

The really scary thing is not only how harmful this money-printing is to the poor (who have to pay higher prices for food and gasoline), but also how quickly and unstoppably a currency can collapse (ex. Argentina, Mexico, or the Weimar Republic). People insist on trading their paper money for something else when they lose confidence; it's like a run on a bank at a massive scale.

I agree. They have things such as intelligent articles and actual facts on the issues you might actually learn something about instead of the far right wing biased hate and garbage.

Yup, hard to see where Bush ended and Obama began. This country is in deep and we have had morons in charge for more than a decade. Then again most can take some credit since those fools were voted in...and not by me.
