No, seriously. Partisanship aside.

The Dems have absolute control over the Executive, Legislative and to an extent the Judiciary. They cannot blame the GOP for their spending.

All the Trillions the Dems have wasted in 2009 was not enough. The economy has worsened considerably. Now, Senate Dems want to waste an additional $2 TRILLION (borrowed from China, of course) in some wild goose programs they come up with.

Is this the only solution they have?? Throw money at it?? Borrow money and spend it on crap??

Is the USA doomed? Can Conservatives stop the spending bandwagon after the Nov 2010 elections?? If not, then can the USA make it to Jan 20, 2013 to stop adding to the $18 Trillion Dollar debt plan Obama has promised us by the end of his first term???

You think the with Progressive movement and the global economy agenda they push, we will see NAFTA dropped any time soon?

How about the bleeding heart Progressives that need a bigger voting base and a cheaper work force to compete in that global economy agenda, and the illegal trespass into our country, to suck it dry and put us out of work so we can pay more and make less?

In their global economy agenda, do you really think they are going to do anything about outsourcing?

In a global economy anyone would be able to get healthcare anywhere in the world at no cost to them.


We are screwed, guys. Plan on this crap for the next 3 years +, in a lame duck presidency. It will be awhile before the smart people get some common sense and pride for America, not the world.

We need legislation barring politicians & influential wealthy people from holding office. These types care more about apearences & popularity than anything else.
What we need is someone who will cut back until we are not spending one red cent more than we have regardless of the polls or world view.

I'm sorry, but how is this any different from George W Bush spending hundreds of billions of dollars and killing thousands of troops in the LIE that was(and still is) Iraq? HELL, AT LEAST IN THIS CASE THE MONEY IS BEING SPENT HERE, and not in some sand trap clear on the other side of the world.

Do you not recall that when the GOP controlled the White House and Congress, it was like money grew on trees?

How quickly we forget.

Wow, so one has to equate Obama with the bloodthirsty Bush? Do tell...

Tons of $$$ is being spent in Afghanistan too. But of course, just like Bush, ObamaBush will claim it's for a noble cause.

Also, the relative size of the spending is a bit out of whack compared to Bush isn't it?

Now they want to put us in more debt then the entire GDP of the WORLD

Seriously. Over 14 billion, people.

But of coarse, now I remember, "it is Bush's fault"
