This is an excellent monologue by Bill Maher on American debt...

That was good! To the point, I like the satirial humor he has. In
Canada he would be called a baby killing anti-christ for suggesting
smaller government. But it is a coming. Wish our government controlled
media up here would put on his show.

it's funny. he doesn't even know that the canadian govt has proposed a
20% cut in expenditures. something that americans would never go for
because it reeks of 'centralized govt' making decisions.

Funny... making stuff up are we? What kind of meds did you say you take?

really? here's a reference from teh ultra right wing economist
veronique de rugy...the canadian govt cut spending by 20% between 1992
and 1997

While technically I think the situation can be reversed, factoring in
politics and the lack of reality of the masses of voters, might as well
plan for the worst and hope the leftist big spenders come to grips with
reality. USA is broke.

notice he says zip about the biggest spenders in US history:

conservatives

Dream on. Obama is headed to hold the two top debtor spots in Amrican
history, 2009 and 2010. Even congress needs to double taxes or Obama
might hold the 4 top years of debt-spend.

notice he says nothing about the FACTS:

-unemployment is down
-housing market has stablized
-economy is growing

and our debt position was worse after ww2 than it is now.

AND he admits that HIS view would lead to MASSIVE unemployment...but
he doesnt care...after all, the rich would be protected


but he's an economic cripple
