This really puts things in perspective.

[Mr.Right]

Ever wonder what a million dollars looks like? How about a billion, or a trillion. This is a visual representation of our national debt.

Well, we could raise taxes enough to start paying our bills and something on the debt right?

I may not be an economist, but you don't have to be one to know that we'll never pay off our debt. It's a mathematical impossibility. What happens to countries that can't pay their debt?

Our Government brings in 3 Trillion in taxes so yes we can pay it off. Spend 2 Trillion and pay down on debt at 1 Trillion each year.

As long as we keep up endless war the debt goes on.

Shoulda asked Ronnie (Blessed Be His Name) Ray-Gun when he turned us into a debtor nation and guaranteed we'd never be out of debt.

Really? How about Oblunder? He doubled our national debt. He spent more money than every other president combined!

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Reagan increased the debt more than all other presidents combined and Clinton left office with a surplus. If the traitorous Repubs had been working for the US, instead of for foreign interests, we would be much better off now than we are.

As for your claim, stop believing the idiotic chain mails you get and research it for yourself.

Obama’s Numbers (January 2015 Update)

More jobs, higher paychecks, falling fuel prices: Our latest scorecard.

Like other tax and spend Repubs, Bush treated the treasury like his own personal petty cash fund.

• Fiscal 2009 began Oct. 1, 2008. That was before Obama was elected, and nearly four months before he took office on Jan. 20, 2009.
• President Bush signed the massive spending bill under which the government was operating when Obama took office. That was Sept. 30, 2008. As The Associated Press noted, it combined “a record Pentagon budget with aid for automakers and natural disaster victims, and increased health care funding for veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.”
• Bush also signed, on Oct. 3, 2008, a bank bailout bill that authorized another $700 billion to avert a looming financial collapse (though not all of that would end up being spent in fiscal 2009, and Obama later signed a measure reducing total authorized bailout spending to $475 billion).
• On Jan. 7, 2009 — two weeks before Obama took office — the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office issued its regular budget outlook, stating: “CBO projects that the deficit this year will total $1.2 trillion.”
• CBO attributed the rapid rise in spending to the bank bailout and the federal takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac – plus rising costs for unemployment insurance and other factors driven by the collapsing economy (which shed 818,000 jobs in January alone).
• Another factor beyond Obama’s control was an automatic 5.8 percent cost of living increase announced in October 2008 and given to Social Security beneficiaries in January 2009. It was the largest since 1982. Social Security spending alone rose $66 billion in fiscal 2009, and Medicare spending, driven by rising medical costs, rose $39 billion.

Who Is The Smallest Government Spender Since Eisenhower? Would You Believe It's Barack Obama?



It’s enough to make even the most ardent Obama cynic scratch his head in confusion.


Amidst all the cries of Barack Obama being the most prolific big government spender the nation has ever suffered, Marketwatch is reporting that our president has actually been tighter with a buck than any United States president since Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Turn off Fox Not News and stop believing the silly chain emails.

Or, stay ignorant.

Makes me no never mind.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Boy, facts really make the Obama-haters scatter and get reeeel busy elsewhere.
