Where are the Repub politicians educating the electorate and outlining a path away from fiscal Armageddon–no where to be found. Hint–don’t hold your breath waiting.

It’s every man for himself now. The great unwashed have voted themselves the Treasury.

… we can just print more money.

“Keep them presses going boys…..

YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEE HHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!”

Thank goodness Americans don’t care, or there’d be some real changes happening. Maybe that’s because less than half of Americans are actually going to pay for it all.

Nope. All Americans are going to pay for it. What we are dealing with is unsustainable and the top half will stop working, investing and paying. I paid no taxes last year and will not pay taxes this year or next. I am retired and living on SS and investment earnings. Since Obama won I have changed my investments to avoid paying taxes. With the huge losses of last year to work with and carried forward it isn’t hard to do. When the top half do not pay the bottom half will suck air or go to work. Chances are they will suck air for a while but hunger hurts. Elections have consequences and the Dems and their supporters have jumped the shark.

Between proven energy reserves and solar, our energy needs become internally satisfied.

Our government never learns. Never.

I bet the less than half of the Americans paying for it all could beat up the more than half that aren’t, any day of the week. Thieves are cowards.

Not sustainable. By this time next year Europe will have pulled out of the dollar. Unemployment will be at 17% with actual at 30% and gas will be $6.60 a gal. And unless the current spending trends are halted very soon, the middle-class will entirely disappear by 2016.

That’s the plan. The Won’s plan anyway.

NZ looking better all the time.

Regrettably, NZ is already far more socialist than the United States. I have many acquaintances there and stories about the government there appear regularly on SOLO.

The deficit this year is $13,000 per family.

faraway on October 20, 2009 at 2:29 PM

Or roughly $26,000 per taxpaying family?

The video needs more examples.

I agree and I also think that the school one was not effective. Something like all the Big Macs it would by stacked on top of each other would reach the sun. Examples like that and not how many years Rangle could stay at a resort.

Where is the outrage from the left. They maintained a continuous barrage on the Bush Adm. for the deficit. Now not a whimper. They are a disingenuous gang.

rjoco1 on October 20, 2009 at 3:12 PM

Silly. They hated Bush because he was hording all the newly printed money for him and his rich friends.
BO will be printing money overtime to make up for what Bush did. You do know that we only have to print money right? You are not one of those crazy people that think money isn’t just printed are you?

I want a Vespa.

nolapol on October 20, 2009 at 2:38 PM

Me too. I want my Vespa NOW!

What would the federal deficit buy?

The answer to this question is, of course, the same as the answer to the question: “what do we have to stop buying to balance the budget.”

My son isn’t 5 weeks old, and he’s already broke! Thanks, Mr. President.

search4truth on October 20, 2009 at 2:51 PM

Doesn’t that put his conception somewhere around the time the filthy lying coward took office? He’s an Obama baby. He was broke from well before birth and will be paying for this past nine months for his entire life. Cradle to grave tyranny.

You can’t put a price on unicorns and rainbows.

jhffmn on October 20, 2009 at 2:26 PM

Sure you can but in a nation as affluent as ours it is a moral obligation to ensure that no American has to worry about portability of unicorns or the evil private rainbow industry.
