I am going to say it again.

It seems that Obama is destroying us financially on purpose with his policies.

No way could someone screw up a country like he has by mistake with an open checkbook and a stacked deck.

Wonder if he learned this from Alinsky?
Yep.....he is.
Blatantly intentional to the point where I no longer believe he ever cared whether or not he would see a second term.
Do as much damage and as quickly as possible....and then get out.
4 years, 2 years........whatever?
2 terms would have been great though.....but not necessary at this rate.

All just a small piece in a big, commie picture puzzle........their ultimate goal.

The actions of the government remind me of when Chevy Chase plugged up hoover dam (that he broke himself), then covering it up with quickly chewed bubble gum.

I am worried about that scenerio as well. There are many hurdles the economy faces in the coming year. We saw what happened after the first expiration of the housing credit. I believe that is a harbinger of things to come when the support is withdrawn.

Good thing. If there's one thing those young productive people need is a TON of debt they can pay off through their entire lives.
