Nigel Tufnel, many will remember, was the fictitious heavy metal guitarist in the fictional "rockumentary" "This Is Spinal Tap." In a classic scene, he displays his guitar collection and his special amplifier that -- unlike all other amplifiers in existence -- has knobs that go all the way up to 11, instead of just 10.
And that's what Obama has done: In his first two years as president, he's taken us to 11 in so many ways.
Under Bush and the Republican Congress from 2000-2006 federal spending was bad, and many people groused. But Obama has turned it up to 11, running up trillion-dollar-plus deficits that dwarf the worst we saw under Bush and the congressional Republicans, and producing open revolt from Tea Partiers and others.
Under Bush, and previous presidents, government regulation was creeping up steadily, year by year. But under Obama, the regulatory knobs have been turned to 11: New health care laws, a new financial regulation bill, proposals for carbon taxes and new Environmental Protection Agency regulation of carbon dioxide -- the list seems endless...
that's the thing with runaway inflation, 11 isn't as loud as it used to be...

No actually it's "St Ronnie did it" and everyone knows Reagan is God. We were told that Reagan PROVED that deficits don't matter, so how can anyone argue against that!Yeh but the Dems don't see a problem with it at all.If someone complains on this board about it we get a response from the Libs here of...." Well Bush did it and it was ok so now it's a problem"....well yeh.
It's like the Libs will feel cheated if we go against their DNA of spend,spend,spend....oh it didn't work well we need to spend,spend,spend twice as much.
It's insane....everyday I wake up expecting to see rioting in the streets bucause the World economy had just collapsed.
