Revenues up 17%.

Looks like it is much more due to drunken liberal syndrome than falling revenues.

Good ol’ W added $4 tril to the deficit over 8 years after inheriting a budget surplus from Clinton. There was no banking system collapse or any other reason for the massive deficiet spending- except that it sure was nice to give all those Wall Street bankers a big tax break. Forget about 9-11 and all that, it’s Bush’s fiscal policies that will be the most unforgetable and painful part of his legacy.

Obama doubled the deficit in just 6 months…what took George 8 years (and yes we conservatives are pissed about it), it took Obama just 6 months, and then he will double it again in the next couple of years…so a four fold in half that time….mathematically that ends up being 8 times worse…
You consider that a success?
Obama will be known to be a fiscal disaster, social disaster, and how is Afghan going lately??? a Foreign distater…he will be, like Carter, winning the tri-fecta of total losers.

Obama, who has promised to halve the deficit by the end of his four-year term and likes to remind constituents he inherited a $1.3 trillion deficit from former President George W. Bush

$1.3T rather than $4T. Over 8 years. If Obeyme continues the way he is, he will more than double that in half the time. Of course, technically, we should blame Congress in both cases. Since that is who actually authorizes and directs the spending.

What exactly does cocked up mean?

Is that similar to wee weed?

Is it still better to be wee weed off, or wee weed on?

Is it still better to have hillary on the inside of the tent we weeing out, that on the outside we weeing in?

I’m just trying to get a load of this new jive yo.

ROFLOL.

A Depends moment.

It’s only 2 trillion dollars, you guys act as if it’s significant…sarc
Actually it does work out to be about $18,000 per family.

You do realize that the budget deficit was inherited from the brilliant one himself, W? It’s not going down anytime soon, even if you nix healthcare reform. At this point, it’s a structural problem in the country’s balance sheet that will take a decade or longer to fix.

Now I just need to multiply by 9. Or 10. Or forty-eleven.

My head hurts, I’m going to take a nap.

I appreciate the help.

1 followed by 12 zeroes…
If they were seconds, it would be almost be 32,000 years…so you could spend $1,400,000 per hour for 80 years, and you would have a few million left over.

Here’s is the question…if they gave every family $18,000, what would that do to the economy?
How about giving each family the whole $158,000?

How about everyone with assets less then 10 million…everyone family would receive over $200,000…
What would that do to the economy?
*
And make it so it can be spent only on U.S. products…what would that do to our economy?
Autos, Homes, landscaping, vacations, drugs (it would happen), hookers, clothing, schooling (give them special incentives for that). They can only bank 10%, and only donalte 10% to non-profits, 80% has to be spent within 2 years, only deviation would be tuition could be paid now, and cover 4 or 5 years.
I think we would be out of our slump in about 60 days…

So someone help me out here. How big is a “trillion” again? Just give me one, I think I’ll be okay multiplying by 9.

I appreciate the help.

The Obama administration will raise its 10-year budget deficit projection to roughly $9 trillion from $7.108 trillion in a report next week, a senior administration official told Reuters on Friday.

And to all of those who voted for Hussein, “How much longer do you need to be convinced that you made a mistake by electing him into office!” Do you have Buyer;s Remorse yet? You Should!

And to think, China’s starting to doubt that American debt is a smart investment.

And you think Bush spending was out of control? Did you really believe that Hussein needed to spend us out of Bush’s mess? Ask yourself why are people still being thrown out of their homes? Why is unemployment still rising? Why is your Pension Plan still shrinking?

the stimulus would keep unemployment under eight percent

Hey Hussein, “Where are the jobs?”

Cash for Clunkers funding that was supposed to last three months and ran out in a week

I could not figure out why so many thought this was a good deal! These are monies re-imbursed to the dealers by the government: Tax Dollars the government received from us!

I have seen Hussein continuously spend our money and we yet received anything from his spending that did not or will not cost us more in the future!
