Um... not likely. Runaway inflation is not a result of
economic
growth, but of out of control printing of paper money, which our
esteemed ex-president and congress were quite happy to kick off
and which our current Nobel laureate has taken to heights GW's
puny mind could unlikely wrap itself around.

I don't see that there is a significant difference between the two
presidents here. They both work for Big Business, with the huge
tax of a huge deficit we will pay.

I terms of principle, I fully agree. In terms of degree, I
must
part
company with you a bit. Though my logical mind knew things could be
worse than Bush, my heart didn't really want to believe it. Obama
shattered that by putting GW to shame in terms of incompetence,
avarice, hubris, out of control spending, and doing nothing of
value. I can hardly believe that it would have been possible to
outstrip Bush by such a margin, and yet here we are. Amazing.

Get back to me on that after eight years! Jeez, the man's been in
office for NINE months!!!!

And he's already given us a $1.4 TRILLION deficit and is entertaining
and engouraging some profoundly stupid legislation - the *cheaper and
less ridiculous version* of which will cost another $2.5 TRILLION

I don't know how many trillions--still, he's doing what he can to fix
the mess the Republicans left.

That mess was caused by both sides of the aisle, not just one.

Maybe things will balance out and
we'll have an amazing surplus like the one Bill Clinton left us

Clinton's surpluses were in 1999 and 2000 and consisted of $123B and
$230B respectively, however that was only on budgeted items since the
national debt increased in those two years by $147.9B and $1.61T overall
on his watch. Now, do you wish to saddle Clinton with that or charge it
to the Republican Congress?

--you
know, the surplus Bush and Co. squandered.

Yeah, uh huh......That was squandered by both sides of the aisle on Iraq
among other things.

Let's see if I have this healthcare thingy right. Congress is to pass
a plan written by a committee whose head has said he doesn't understand
it, passed by a Congress that hasn't read it, signed by a president who
hasn't read it, with funding administered by a Treasury chief who didn't
pay his taxes because he didn't understand TurboTax, overseen by an obese
Surgeon General and financed by a country that's nearly broke.
What could possibly go wrong?
