Obama's Economic Terror Attack Continues

[AgeOfEnlightenmentSCP]

BUDGET BOMB! This is economic TERRORISM! The February 2011 budget deficit is the biggest one-month deficit ever. The February 2011 deficit is larger than the buget deficit for the ENTIRE YEAR of 2007.

www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/mar/7/government-posts-biggest-monthly-deficit-ever/

Will anyone get some balls and shut it down? Even Rand Paul only proposes to cut about 1/3rd of the current budget deficit.

[mmhmm]

Ummm, I'm done. This one is about two bricks short of a load, I'm afraid. If Paul's talking about it, I ain't readin' it.

You are not bothered by the financial/budget situation in DC?
How about the amount of federal debt that is sky rocketing, and the 100s of trillions in unfunded liabilities the fed govt is looking at?

[AgeOfEnlightenmentSCP]

Well, I guess you don't want to hear anything Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has to say, either. She agrees with me that the debt and deficit spending is a threat to our national security.

I have no problem hearing what she has to say. I have a problem with those who label anything and everything as terrorism (in capital letters no less). Such use of a term renders it meaningless.

There are parellels with terrorists flying planes into buildings, and the fed govt implementing policies that are destroying the economy, causing unemployment, exacerbating outsourcing and debasing the currency.

Did I say that? No, I did not. I said I'm through reading Paul.

Precisely, bill. One can speak of that which is happening today without the need to denigrate any and everyone with which one disagrees. The economy is tottering all over the freaking world. Those who are in charge must try to pull things back together. Blathering on about doom and gloom isn't going to do that.

[rockon]

Ignoring the doom and gloom that will be the obvious result would be much more dangerous then any terrorist attack to date. Of course talking alone will not fix the problem. We need to organize and vote these morons out of office.

[mmhmm]

There is no "obvious" result. We cannot see into the future. Yes, that includes you.

Especially when you consider that a Pentagon commissioned study has concluded that economic terrorism could have been part of the cause of the 2008 crash...

Oh, I suppose they're just kooks over there at the Pentagon.

The fact is, that if a foreign enemy did this to our budget, we'd be at war. This is outrageous-- maybe even MORE outrageous than 9.11.01 in terms of the economic impact.

And before anyone makes a giant ass of themselves-- which is hardly preventable here, but I'll try-- I am NOT comparing Obama to al quaeda or comparing the budget crisis to the death and destruction on 9.11.01

I'm simply saying that the budget is so irresponsible, so out of countrol, and so blatantly destructive to our country, that it has to be considered on the level of a sophistacted economic attack.

[mmhmm]

And a mwahahahahahaha back a'cha, freedom! ;D

The problem is these Moore-ons agree with the head Moore-on that all the money in the country is really theirs.

[rockon]

If the results of our actions are not obvious then we should probably stop and try to determine what the most likely outcome will be before proceeding. Unless history records are wrong the most obvious result of spending more then your revenue for an extended period of time will result in bankruptcy or insolvency and it doesn't require a crystal ball or an ability to know the future to reach that conclusion. It also doesn't take a rocket scientist to conclude that if a country projects that that cost to service it's debt will reach a trillion dollars per year in the near future then one could very easily make the obvious conclusion that this country will have one trillion dollars per year less to pay for essential services like education or health care or defense or infrastructure or technology. The real irony is that the same people who support this insane spending that will completely destroy this country also want the government to provide and control these essential services and you obviously can't have it both ways.

So, does our Harvard educated President of the United States not know this stuff? Is it just coincidence that what he's doing in practical terms is the same thing as the radical Cloward-Piven strategy to collapse the United States? Or, is Obama actually well aware of the inevitable problems his massive, out-of-control spending, and he's doing it anyway because causing the economic destruction of the United States is his goal?

Is the reason we can't see his dissertation at Harvard because he never wrote it; or is it because in it he proposes revolution in the exact mannner he is conducting himself right now?

And the answer is:
Barack Obama received his law degree (J.D.) from Harvard. Dissertations are written by Ph.D. students. Therefore, since Obama did not earn a Ph.D., he did not write a disseration.

February 2011 budget deficit

You mean the 2nd month the Republican controlled HoR came into office? Well then...

THE REPUBLICANS' ECONOMIC TERROR ATTACK CONTINUES!!!!!! BUDGET BOMB!!!!! THIS IS ECONOMIC TERRORISM!!!!!!!

Note that I had more capitalized words, exclamation points, and enraged emoticons. I winz!

The fact is, that if a foreign enemy did this to our budget

What state is Congressman Iran representing?

causing unemployment, exacerbating outsourcing

Yeah, because we know corporate multi-millionaires are angels and are the real victims in this disaster.

[ugonow]

Hard to believe just 3 years ago the White House was saying Reagan proved deficits don't matter.

[ed1066]

What state is Congressman Iran representing?

If I had to guess, I would say he's a Democrat from either California or New York...

[ugonow]

I want to see how Paul Ryan's plan to replace medicare with vouchers for seniors to buy their own insurance will work out for them.

[ed1066]

all wealthfare programs

I know that was a typo, but it's so Freudian it bears repeating...it's also now my go-to term for the welfare and entitlement junkies; the Wealthfare Class!

I know a guy who is on complete disability. He has a cell phone that gives him 20 minutes of calling time, per 3 months. He displays it by wearing it clipped to his belt, because he is disabled and wants folks to see he has means of calling for help. Not sure it sends that message, but it makes him feel better. He wears nice clothes because his brother is well to do and gives him hand me downs and discards. He wears a diamond stud - when his grandmother died he inherited some of her possessions, including the earrings. He was close to her and wears one of the earrings. He claims it is in her memory, but I suspect he is also trying to appear more affluent than he is.

Food- he buys 1 pound of ground beef, per week, cheap tuna, and cheap hot dogs. He does not eat well; he can't afford to. He only turns his AC on when it hits 90 in his apartment, drives a 7 year old car that he bought used. He rarely eats out and the one thing he splurges on is a bag of Starbucks coffee, once a month. He is a vet, so he gets medical care through the VA.

If you saw him on the street, you might think he was comfortable. His clothing, car, and cell phone give the appearance of being financially okay, but looks can be deceiving. He's barely hanging on.

[mmhmm]

No kidding, marjar and patstab. I know people who are in that same boat, and they're certainly not enjoying it. It's difficult for them just to eat, keep a roof over their heads, and clothes on their backs. To imply they're getting rich is ludicrous. If there are those who misuse the system, those people should be brought to account for it; however, those who truly need our help are worthy of the dignity and respect due them.

[rockon]

Get used to the sight because as our debt continues to spiral out of control the result will become more obvious to those who have not made the connection yet. Increasing the amount of money sent to foreign countries for interest on our debt will only further reduce the amount available for essential services. This did not start with the Obama administration it just has gotten much worse during his tenure and thats a fact with obvious results.

His car is newer than mine. I drive a 1997 Honda Civic EX Coupe. I rarely use the AC below 90 degrees- and that's only because my wife gets uncomfortable before I do in the heat, I drink DD coffee-- I buy 2 pounds ground at Costco.

I'm still wondering how someone who is "completely" disabled drives any car at all.

Not saying I have no empathy for a veteran who is down and out, but I'm wondering what the point is?

[mmhmm]

Cars can be modified so those with disabilities can drive them. Much would depend on what type of disability the gentleman has sustained.

[marjar]

Keep wondering, Paul.
