| I am a TEA Partier who agrees with Senator Obama's 2006 position on the Debt Limit. Obama On Raising the Debt Ceiling Quote: The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. Over the past 5 years, our federal debt has increased by $3.5 trillion to $8.6 trillion.That is “trillion” with a “T.” That is money that we have borrowed from the Social Security trust fund, borrowed from China and Japan, borrowed from American taxpayers. And over the next 5 years, between now and 2011, the President’s budget will increase the debt by almost another $3.5 trillion. Numbers that large are sometimes hard to understand. Some people may wonder why they matter. Here is why: This year, the Federal Government will spend $220 billion on interest. That is more money to pay interest on our national debt than we’ll spend on Medicaid and the State Children’s Health Insurance Program. That is more money to pay interest on our debt this year than we will spend on education, homeland security, transportation, and veterans benefits combined. It is more money in one year than we are likely to spend to rebuild the devastated gulf coast in a way that honors the best of America. And the cost of our debt is one of the fastest growing expenses in the Federal budget. This rising debt is a hidden domestic enemy, robbing our cities and States of critical investments in infrastructure like bridges, ports, and levees; robbing our families and our children of critical investments in education and health care reform; robbing our seniors of the retirement and health security they have counted on. Every dollar we pay in interest is a dollar that is not going to investment in America’s priorities. Senator Barack Obama Senate Floor Speech on Public Debt March 16, 2006 |

Senator Barack Obama Senate Floor Speech on Public Debt March 16, 2006 ![]() You mean you agreed with Obama's statements back in 2006-about raising the debt ceiling---not now I presume.--And paying out 29 BILLION dollars per month in INTEREST alone on our current debt--I too agree with Obama's 2006 statements.

| Another kaffir who wants Obama to spend more on the war against Islam. Another big spending democrat who likes stealing money you are. Stop America from spending more money. We need cuts to everything, especially defense. This infidel government must be deprived of any more money |

| He has used that line to achieve the entirety of his legislative agenda and you are dumbfounded as to why Obama is plunging in the polls and a large majority of Americans still oppose raising the debt limit. The Barack "Chicken Little" Obama has desensitized Americans with his constant assertion that if we do not do what he wants the economy will fall. And after he gets his way and things still suck he says well it would be worse. Obama's entire presidency rests on proving a negative, it would be worse. Good luck with that in 2012.

| The economy is falling, the economy is falling: that's all we've heard from Obama since he took office. He has used that line to achieve the entirety of his legislative agenda and you are dumbfounded as to why Obama is plunging in the polls and a large majority of Americans still oppose raising the debt limit. The Barack "Chicken Little" Obama has desensitized Americans with his constant assertion that if we do not do what he wants the economy will fall.

Good luck with that in 2012. ![]() Here is an example of his cowardice and hatred of islam [IMG]Obama Hates Muslims! Muslim woman: Scarf kept her from seat near Obama A young Muslim woman said she and another woman were refused seats directly behind Barack Obama – and in front of TV cameras – at a Detroit rally because they wear head scarfs. Discrimination! Or is it he’s just too scared to be associated with Muslims? Aref, a 25-year-old lawyer, said a member of her group was told by a volunteer that she could not invite Aref because of “a sensitive political climate.” What’s so ‘sensitive’ about our political climate? Is this some sort of double-speak??? “It is offensive and counter to Obama’s commitment to bring Americans together and simply not the kind of campaign we run. We sincerely apologize for this behavior,” the statement read. Ahhh, they’re sorry. Move along kiddies, nothing to see here. Everyone will forgive you for your discrimination and forget about it. They’d do the same for McCain too. Right? Still, she said, it was difficult to hear Obama’s message of unity among races. “As he’s saying it, I’m thinking, ‘Well, wait a minute, I was obviously … profiled and discriminated against an hour ago.’” From the same person that wants to bring us all together! LOL! Suckers!!! Aref said she replied by thanking Burton, but requested Obama apologize directly to her and Abdelfadeel, as well as invitations to sit behind him at a future campaign event. Obama spokeswoman Amy Brundage said the campaign has apologized. “He needs to take the matter seriously and send a strong message against any kind of discrimination,” Aref said. Actions speak louder than words. Presidential campaigns routinely invite audience members they believe will enhance the image their candidate wants to convey on TV to stand behind the candidate at rallies. Apparently, the message is white girls love me so vote for me! It’s funny how the guy who says he can bring us all together can’t even get his church to move away from racism, or his friends away from their terrorist views. If you believe his tripe, then I have one good word for you: Suckers[/IMG] Obama Hates Muslims! « |

| Interest rates declined during the 1995-1996 government shutdown. And, coincidentally or not, interest rates are declining now. The Washington Post: U.S. could avoid default Quote: UBS estimates that the government will run out of money to pay all bills starting no sooner than Aug. 8. Barclays suggests Aug. 10. Wells Fargo Securities said the government might have to cut back on some spending but could pay most of its bill through August. Last edited by KissMy; 07-27-2011 at 04:39 AM. |

| I wish that were true. It isn't. The national debt represents the SOURCE of much of the great wealth in the world. After all, when the government spent the money it had to go into the pockets of SOMEBODY. EVen if it went briefly into the hands of the poor, they SPENT IT and it ended up in the hands of the wealthy. This is the nature of capital in a CAPITALIST system, is it not? The capital aggregates in the hands of the few. That is HOW this system works, after all. |
