Debt Has Increased $5 Trillion Under Speaker Pelosi

[Jroc]

The bottom line here is we have to reform the tax system, and reform entitlements or we'll be bankrupt.. But all the dems do is say everything is fine... all we have to do is raise you're taxes, any kind of attempt at reform is demagogue by the libs. That’s why we've got a lot of true conservatives coming in and hopefully more to follow. Check this out Paul Ryan has some great ideas on how to reduce the debt with these kind of reforms

Only 10 percent of the spending from the stimulus occurs in 2009. Which means that the vast majority of the almost $800 billion will be spent after the economy has begun to right itself. In other words, after the horse has already decided to return to the barn and close the door on its own.

So, when Obama said we had to pass this huge bill RIGHT NOW or else we were doomed, he was full of shit, right?

Or the CON$ are full of shit, which is always the case.

Before the money can be spent the projects have to be started and work has to be done. Do you pay the full amount up front if someone was going to build you a house? Well you are a CON$ervative, so you are probably dumb enough to pay the whole thing in advance, but smarter people only give part of the money up front and pay more as the job is being done.

So...Obama vastly overstated the case, you were stupid enough to fall for it...and it's the Republicans' fault.

But let's examine your version of reality. We've spent 10% of the stimulus, and the economy's in worse shape than when it was passed. Not a good sign, huh?

Or are you sticking with your "Obama says it's good, so. It's. Good." daydream?
