But thats what you're doing, lord knows why you're arguing with me and telling me I'm wrong considering I've quoted you saying the exact same thing I did.
I'm not sure why you are so angry. Do you just hate the US? You should be excited about the falling unemployment rate, housing sales going way up, jobs up, stock market up...

I asked before and I'll ask again. Are you just anti-American or is there something you fail to understand? You sound absolutely miserable and we are moving into good times as a country.

If you are rooting against America and think so badly of it, why would you stay? Whatever you decide, I hope things turn around for you.

Love for America, friends!

I'm not sure why everytime someone tries to have a civil discussion you pretend they are angry.

Do you have that much hate built up that anytime someone disagrees with you that you have to start hyperventilating to see how fast you can post hyperbold bull crap?

And the gasoline tax would be BROADENING THE TAX BASE

What about interest on the accrued debt? Obama said that Alqueda has been vanquished! Why are we still in Aghanastan and Iraq? Gitmo? Real unemployment of 16%?

Higher taxes have reduced deficits by 1/3rd, but have done nothing for deficit spending!

Should we cheer or cry?
Based on your comments, I'd say you prefer to cry.

No, you are clearly worked up - look at the drivel you write. You just attack the US and other posters. You need help to find happiness in your life. Just take a breath and find the good. We live in a great country, but you get out of it what you put in. I truly hope you find peace in your life and a way to be happy.

Take care.

I'm no where close to worked up.. I'm sorry you view me posting facts as attacks, but maybe if you'd stop supporting failures then you wont have to listen to others disagree with you..

Not!!
The goal is not to pay it down, but to make it more manageable. As a matter of fact you can't, or shouldn't pay it off even if you had the money.

No, it wouldn't. Everyone who buys gasoline already pays it. The same people would be paying the same tax at a higher rate.

Hardly. The world has a pretty high regard for Obama. The US? Well about half the country likes him, while the other half does not. Either way, he's not the laughing stock of either the country or world.
