We better get used to questions like this because the whole country
has a "Greece" moment coming. I doubt our protests will be as peaceful
as Egypt or even Greece. It might be more like Warsaw 1944 except the
populace is better armed. ;-)

There's no "Greece" or Egypt "moment" coming. That's a paranoid
fantasy.

I guess you were absent the day they taught arithmetic.

Why don't you find something a little more biting if you're trying to
insult me.

I apologize, that was snarky.


Apology accepted.



Are you denying the deficit is a problem and that the entitlements are
unsustainable?

Never denied it. What I'm denying is that it's a short-term problem.
It's a long-term problem. Obama's recent budget addressed it in the
long term to the tune of $1.1 T (some things I don't agree with, but
that's another story). Of course Sen. Sessions said it didn't go deep
enough, but of course he proposed nearly the exact same deficit
reduction amount a short while ago.

$1.1T is trivial compared to the problem. That barely covers where we
are now and there are only a small fraction of the boomers on the
public dole. If he can't touch the current deficit, how will he handle
the hockey stick that is in the next decade?
I don't think the GOP is really talking about it either.


They're talking about when it suits them. Sessions was talking about
it along with the rest of the right-wing nuts. They would love to gut
all the social programs. I'd say that it's in their DNA, except they
don't believe in science.


That is what brought down the Greek economy

We are not Greece... I know that's an incredible statement for some
people...

No we are not Greece. The world could survive a total collapse of
Greece. When the US gets a cold, the world gets pneumonia.


We are not even close to a "collapse"... guess you didn't hear but the
economy is getting better.


You believe Obama bull****? A record number of people are expected to
lose their homes THIS YEAR. Civic and state debt defaults are skyrocketing.


I believe facts and not racist hyperbole. Bush did this to us. Obama
is trying to fix it.


Infamous last words. They said that after the Titanic hit the iceberg,
we are too big to sink.


Feel free to hide under your blankey.
