What happened the last time he went to Elkhart? I know he went there before and they were not impressed. It’s been months now & things are still getting worse. How’s he gonna explain that to em-with more “eventually” things will get better bs?

First, I have noticed the news reports all talking about George Bush’s “Read my lips” moment. However, no one is talking about Clinton’s huge tax hike. This scenario reminds me more of the early 90s when, after Clinton promised not to raise taxes, he explained that the economy was so much worse than he thought, that he had to raise taxes.

Second, I love Obama’s citation to “many economists” believe that the economy is getting better b/c of the Recovery plan. I assume these “many economists” are the same ones that a) told Obama we had to do this, b) predicted with the “plan” unemployment would not top 8%, and c) told him that his health care proposal will lower the deficit.

The dollar will drop like a stone in the coming years as our debt spirals out of control. The deficit will exceed two trillion this year and will be over a trillion/year for the coming years. Obamacare is really insignificant as we are hopelessly indebted to Medicaid and Medicare already. The baby boomer retirements have already started and so the squeaky wheels on our government will soon shriek as the bearings seize…There is only one way out for the federal government, inflate away the debt…They will print money first, last and always as they cheapen the dollar to ignite the inflation that will cut away its debtload…Taxes are way too unpopular to do the job and there is not enough money anyway to pay for the entitlement committments we have which will explode with the babyboomer retirements. Now you know why the government wants to legalize our twelve million or twenty million illegal aliens…They desperately need more taxpayers. Too bad we didn’t ramp up legal immigration so that we would not now be forced to keep the criminals and illiterates along with all the others who crawl across our borders in search of a better life. We could have gotten a few million very bright, educated eastern europeans, indians and asians instead of a steady stream of illiterates from south of the border. The feds are betting the farm on these new Americans…Our farm that is to say…No matter, our new Americans will be no more successful paying our debts as the total destruction of our society as a merit based success oriented freedom loving one has been successfully corrupted so that ours no longer no right from wrong. The world watches in amazement as we de-construct the most successful economic, military, and cultural power of the twentieth century…Obama and the dems mearly get to climb to the top of the ashheap for one last socialist rave…

Hey Amos!

Do the math over again.
We all need to be better with exponents.
8.9 x 10**6 times 1 x 10**6 = 8.9 X 10**12 . That is 8.9 Trillion.

Don’t give them any ideas, OK?

[...] The first clip is the roundtable, the second is the slightly awkward greenroom discussion about Gatesgate afterward. Click the images to watch. If you can’t devote 20 minutes to the first, skip ahead to the last four minutes for the exchange about racial politics and “teachable moments.” Incidentally, shortly before this aired, TurboTax Tim dropped by the set to tell Steph that The One might just have to break his promise and raise taxes on the middle-class after all. Surprise. [...]

Ok, as a wise latino male with rich life experiences I have a solution to this mess. Barry is going after the wrong insurance companies. The demorats need to make Life Insurance mandatory. Screw health insurance. Every man, woman, and child in the USA of Kenya must have at least a 1 million dollar life policy.When you kick the bucket your family will be doing very well. You can also require a 500K dollar policy on fetuses so if you abort them you get paid. That is their goal anyway. Imagine all the instant millionaries and the stimulus on the economy. How many Americans die everyday? Problem solved. As a side issue they can eat all the fetuses as per Jonathan Swift and a Modest Proposal. That way the abortion lobby can have their cake and eat it too.

Once we bleed the top 5% dry we’ll move the bar lower and lower until we can bleed everyone above the pverty line dry.

No, it’s simpler than that. Once we have a truly international perspective, then we are ALL rich — compared to villagers in Africa and slumdwellers in Asia. Then we, the richest people in the world, will all be taxed. By the world’s favourite American president.
