All I can say is when the economy goes down the crapper the first thing we need to do is take away all benefits and secret service protection from every member of congress and then toss them into the gutter where they belong.

One word.

Go Galt.

No, wait, that’s two words and I’m not Joe Biden.

Three words.

Just go Galt. They can have their pile of ~~poop~~ debt.

$546,688 is already more than I’ve made in my entire life. At my current pay rate of roughly $30k a year it will take me more than 18 years to pay off that debt alone if I spent every penny paying down that debt let alone any future debt.

62% blame Bush?!? Obama & the Dems are spending like drunken sailors and there’s much more to come. People have been hypnotized – there’s no other possible explanation.

Imagine The Sixth Sense, only when Bruce Willis realizes that he’s been dead the whole time, he has to go to Hell.

Then you’ll understand where we’re at.

Is my family’s portion of $22,274.00, calculated before or after the Obama’s expensive date night to NYC?

They keep spending. Spending. SPENDING. The Federal Government is borrowing 50% of EVERY dollar they spend this year! It has to be paid back. With interest. Not a word of concern from NBC, CBS, CNN, NYT…

If the government had given everybody $500,000 there would also have been no mortgage foreclosures, 7 million more people would have been employed and the stock market would be bursting over 15,000. Of course children and grandchildren would still be stuck with a monstrous debt.

But, I just love sending these scum bags to New York! I’m claiming $546,688 on next years taxes; Let those ass holes send me to jail. They’ll be paying for my room and board while I file appeal after appeal on the government tab.

I have heard it said a million times that we over threw the USSR by out spending them.
Now we will hear how America destroyed itself by out spending itself.

His answer drew loud laughter from his student audience, reflecting scepticism in China about the wisdom of a developing country accumulating a vast stockpile of foreign reserves instead of spending the money to raise living standards at home

No, they were just letting Timmy and the 0 administration know they (and by extension the US) are now untrusted, laughable buffoons.

Chinese don’t laugh in your face if you’ve got any.

Great, Now the Islamist won’t even want to take us over.

Russians are now teaching there kids what we did in the cold war.
Americans take peoples kids and indoctrinate them in to communism
Americans are not allowed to believe in God
Americans are not free to become capitalist entrepreneurs.
Americans disarms it’s citizens
Americans practice eugenics through abortion.
American car production is controled by the state.

Back to Maslovs hierarchy of needs. I’m ready for the challenge. I think a good financial and social enema is exactly what we need. Those who survive will be the strongest and a good base for USA 2.0

Why couldn’t the government just given each household a half-million? GM and Chrysler wouldn’t be able to keep up with the orders.

Sounds cheaper than the bailouts.

I’d be trying to start something though.
