Republican wet dream. Interest and unemployment go through the roof
and the economy collapses in a worse disaster than 1929.

Who knows, might happen. Obama will appologise and make excuses tonight
and then promise a lot more and try to quell what we already know.


which, if the GOP did this and owned up to their mistakes, we'd be
hunting them with dogs


Ok, I had it backwards. He promised a lot and then made excuses with
more promises.

I would hate to think what they do to liberals once they have trashed
the US economy.


guess he thinks obama's been president for 8 years. guess he forgot
about bush, who developed the giveaway to the banks, who held the
economy hostage to their mistakes, courtesy of the right wing.


Obama talks a lot and no results but feeding democrat corruption engine.


and the GOP doesn't talk at all. they just take their orders from
their rich masters and enact them into law


Obama was so full of sh1t tonight... you could see it dripping from the
walls. I did see the democrat people turned hecklers were expidiciously
being moved out. Yet many just sat there in disgust.


telling the truth to people generally does cause them to become
mentally ill.

you're living proof


Obama should have read up on why Hitler failed to win WW II, too many
fronts and not one done right. Will be interesting to see how the
market reacts.

How is that different than today? After taxes, it would take the

right now at least they pay 15%. the middle class pays about double
that.


The wealth destruction is mind boggling. Only thing you know for sure
is it will not continue. Sooner of later even the US government will be
broke. Pretty much already is, but no one wants to go to the world to

Governments are for tweaking, perhaps giving direction, and, if

Obama does not support the small businesses at all. Have you noticed the
number of small banks that have been closed over the past year. Who were
those banks servicing? They were not servicing large multinational
corporations. Typically, these small banks when seized have their assets
sold to larger banks and these larger banks do lend as easily to small
businesses.

If you want support for small businesses then you want tax cuts,
permanent tax cuts, not targeted tax cuts, tax cuts across the board.

Small businesses want to know what the rules and regulations are going
to be for the next three to 10 years so that they can make plans and
execute those plans. With Obama and his maniac/depressive and bi-polar
policies nobody knows what the rules are going to be from one day to the
next.

When BofA, Wells Fargo and CitiBank took the TARP money there was no
mention of limiting executives salaries to $500,000. That was something
that popped into Obama's head one day and he proclaimed it like the
dictator that he wants to be. That is not governing that is ruling and
we do not elect rulers.

That is more like 20-22% top line to bottom line, less if you have a

Obama has worked tirelessly to clean up some of the messes Bush left for
us. Most of those messes are going to take years, if not decades, to
clean up. Bush by any meaningful measurement was the worst president of

Sure has a funny way of doing it, giving all the debt to the middle

$383,071,060,815.42 last year 12,3%

Expect to see that shoot up with the extra $2 trillion


What extra $2T? And, it won't make that much difference. The "debt"
issue
is
seriously overblown. It's not insignificant, but it's not anywhere close
to
a crisis.

The extra $2T we added to the debt in the last year. ($10T to $12T) If
you think the added 20% of interest on the $2T is not that much
difference, "De Salude Don Corleone"



So, it went from 12.3% to 20%? Amazing math.


Let's slow down. The debt service WAS 12.3% of the budget in 2009
(one thing)
We added 20% to the debt since last year so the basis for the interest
will go up 20% (a different thing)
The missing number is what the auction will set the interest at for
the paper when it rolls over. If the US starts looking just a little
more risky that rate will go higher. The "risk" isn't really the
threat of default, only the threat of the devaluation of the dollar
but that can go over the tipping point.



There's no "threat of default." That's just a fear tactic.

"No threat" is a bold statement but I did say it wasn't really the
risk that would drive up interest rates. That will simply be the
threat of devaluing the dollar and that is happening as we speak.
The problem is once it starts to slide that can become an avalanche
because we import so much of what we need to survive.



The dollar has lot value, significant value before. "Once it starts to

You have it, and just like the day after Obama spend-talk-a-lot the

Because capitalists know you can't debt-spend your way to prosperity.
And Obama is like a used car salesman selling you a lemon. Obama is a
big mouthed fraud. Going to put Amrica in the poor house.

I read an interesting article about government debt. How with taxes and
dollar devaluation the average standard of living in the USA and Canada
is going to take a wild dive in the next decade as more people in the
world compete for limited resurces. That the worlds population is going
to mandate a much lower standard of living, and Americans will not have
the cash to buy goods like before. Interesting read incinuationg this

Obama has continued paying off the rich. His financial advisors are

In all fairness, the Reagan deregulation was not the problem. It was
when the Bush/Clinton/Bust free marketeers took over that they really
stripped away any similance of a fair market (free doesn't have to
mean unfair)
They have tipped the scales so a few rich people run the world but
that idea was originally advanced by what the left called "wingnuts".
Remember when you were ridiculing those people who warned you about
the Bilderburgers and other secret societies? Well they are the
bankers who raped the country. Just look at the names that pop up
when you investigate these groups. I have never bought into the whole
conspiracy theory but there is a thread of truth in it..



What?? Reagan's deregulation was the problem... banks, airlines, media,
healthcare industry, etc.
