THERE IS NO PLAN TO REVIVE THE ECONOMY. We are not a planned economy! What don't you liberals understand about that? It's not the government's job to plan the economy.

So basically you admit obama has been an utter failure on both?

Oh, you probably didn't notice or have ignored the FACT the GOP house has passed plenty of bills, including a budget, Cap, Cut and Balance that would do just that.

It is languishing in the Senate, where the dems refuse to take it up and even if they did, obama would veto it.

You KNOW that anything the GOP House comes up with, won't get past obama.

Now, lets recall what obama said about adding so much to the debt.


Senator Obama calls Bush "unpatriotic" for adding trillions to debt www.RightFace.us - YouTube

These WORDS of obama will be front and center this year. What a great ad.


Just like a crackhead that hits the motherload.

All of the additional trillions in debt requires additional billions in interest payments. To make the additional interest payments, more money must be borrowed to make the payments.

Should have allowed housing to crash. Then this would not have been a problem.

Yes our government prints money, about 1/5 as much as the commercial banks.
