Speaking for my shop, I put back enough to keep the doors open in lean times and I didn't over-hire my employees so I didn't have to fire anybody. So I don't need a Gubment loan to come steal my business from me with their 'imaginary money'
It's sad when you have a president whose NEVER owned a business trying to tell those of us who do run businesses HOW to run our businesses.
If only Obama was a werewolf, I got some cool hollow tip silvers for him.
Whoa, Nellie. I thought you said "Good bye" to me? Make up your mind.
(Know what's really sad? Someone who claims to own a business yet has no command over his native language. That's really sad.)
Since I said nothing about "out of control spending," I'll leave you to your clarity.
Durrrr, it was pretty inherent in your statement here (note: it's not that big of an intellectual leap to make, really ):

One can borrow money and cut costs at the same time.
So why borrow money if you aren't going to spend it? Or, a more concrete question would be... what did the government do with the money they borrowed? Oh, right. They spent it!

So you think it's cute to threaten to shoot the President on a public message board?
Are you insane or just stupid?

Man oh man. No offense, but your mind seems to be wandering. Your statements are very incoherent.
Who said anything about borrowing but not spending? That makes no sense.
Here, try this. (If you're just going to find ways to disagree with me, logic be damned, keep it to yourself. Okay?)
My business revenues are down. I must either close shop or borrow money to pay the bills. I get a loan from the bank. Since revenues are down, I cut costs as well. I discontinue the third shift, and I lay off three workers. There you go. Borrowing and cutting costs. Someone with such clarity as you can surely see that borrowing and cutting costs are two separate issues.

My vision AND lucidity are both quite well I assure you.
You are making the false assumption that the government is only spending money in order to pay its bills. Falsehood. They borrowed to spend, they increased the debt ceiling to borrow more to pay the bills.
Please extrapolate from your scenario exactly what cost cutting measures are taking place on the governmental level, then we can actually have something of substance to talk about.

I made no such assumptions. Your "clarity" seems to be of the crystal ball variety. Since you seem hooked on putting words in my mouth, I'll let you carry on this conversation all by yourself. Good luck. May the best man/woman win.

Crystal ball? I'm not predicting the future here, I'm merely stating the facts that you choose to blind yourself to. It's okay, I know those facts are inconvenient little truths.
