LOL

He's doing both, right?

I see the former....not the latter.

What's he gonna do? Print the money we need to buy our way out of this mess.

Now does anyone have any idea of what Obama has spent? Keep in mind they are passing through another 410 billion dollar bill as we speak for more "porkies". It has to be close to 2 trillion he has spent by now.

This is change alright. We are all sitting here and watching this nut dismantle this country and destroy our futures.
The truth is just killing you, eh?

Yeah I heard that -- I guess most of his followers (including the media) will believe it without question.

Well we actually had growth and were OK up until 2 years ago. If you check your records you will see that the dems have had the control of the House for 2 yrs.

Yes and one of his strategies to reducing that debt is more tax on people who make over 250K annually. Why is it our burden to fix the problem? This is how we get rewarded for studying long and hard and becoming successful?

As if the mechanisms weren't put in place before the Dems took a slim majority and basically had no power beyond an ability to gridlock the process.

Anyone paying attention could see what was coming. There's a reason almost everyone left the Bush administration. They know an iceberg when they see it coming.

Please, Jenny, I understand you're conservative. It doesn't mean all ideas on the other side of the aisle are wrong. Obama is doing a pretty conventional action of deficit-spending to try and kick start the economy / shore up the impact of its collapse. He doesn't plan to do this much spending throughout.

Even Bush spent this much - and then some when he promised to bail the auto industry out with White House funding. So, please. Get beyond partisan rage.

The piont is not to tax the 250 k group so much as it is to tax the 25 million bunch. Either group have more than they need to survive so I am not sympathetic. In simpler terms - shut up and pay your dues.
