Even assuming your number of $70B a year is right (who knows, since
you continually make up facts). The right wing just went down to the
wire about social programs and $1B. That's so adult of them.

The $700b over 10 years is straight from CBO (the cost of the tax cut
on $250k people) and it is widely reported., You will get a dozen
hits if you google it.

They certainly have to start fixing this problem pretty soon. You do
understand, most of the $4 gas is because the world has devalued the
dollar. If we don't get a handle on this debt that will only get
worse. Why would anyone loan us money at a percent or two when the
money we will be paying them back with is losing value faster than
that. You can continue in your blissful denial but remember where you
heard it. We are rapidly approaching the tipping point and the only
solution from both sides of the aisle is borrow more money.

So, now you believe in the CBO. Previously that wasn't the case. Which
is it?

I understand this is just a wild guess but you think everything they
say is gospel and I was talking to you.

Wow... you just flip-flopped from quoting the CBO to claiming they're
full of it. Please show me where I've ever said "everything they say"
is gospel.

Most of the $4 gas is uncertainty driven. Sorry if that doesn't mesh
with your view of Obama and/or the Democrats.

I am just repeating what the people who know more than both of us are
saying. They did back it up with numbers.
I also understand a lot of it is just speculation but some of that
speculation is also based on the value of the dollar.

Which people? Rush? I'd say listen to NPR, but they're just commies
with a secret mission to destroy this country, right?
