ilmor Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 This President appears to be doing all that he can to harm our society and will tell people anything they want to hear to advance his goals. 2012 can't come fast enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
69dejavue Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 remember he is promising to cut the deficit in his second term. That means you have to re-elect him in order to keep his promise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilmor Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Hey, if what Obama says is true about cutting the deficit in half by his second term, then therefore if we kick him out of office now we could eliminate the total deficit immediately!

Blind, lame, know nothings. However, the Bush economic team holds the bigger handle of the bag on the worst recession in my lifetime. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as we stop electing lawyers and start electing regular people, the doublespeak and nonsense will stop. Elect some farmers and factory workers and see how fast things turn around.

Yea it's all the fault of JFK, Carter, Clinton, and Obama, and even though Bush was in power for 8 yrs he shares none of the blame. Sometimes you guys make me want to puke.

David Hawkins Posted February 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 remember he is promising to cut the deficit in his second term. That means you have to re-elect him in order to keep his promise "If we confront this crisis without also confronting the deficits that helped cause it, we risk sinking into another crisis down the road," the president warned, promising to cut the yearly deficit in half by the end of his four-year term. "We cannot simply spend as we please and defer the consequences." Sounds like he is Promising the Cut by 2012............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnsignaldelete Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 "Party Leaders", like, Obama, don't care about 'Budgets', 'Comrade' Obama, cares about, 'Nationalizing' American Banks and Industry'. Obama, wants, a 'Civilian National Security Force'. Obama, wants huge 'State' sponsored, public works projects. Obama, picked of an Attorney General that thinks the Second Amendment does NOT give citizens the right to own firearms. Obama, picked an Attorney General that thinks, that; "America is a Nation Of Cowards". The list goes on… Budgets???, The new, 'Socialist/Marxist Party, of the Americas', doesn't care about Budgets, they care about, Consolidating, power into the 'Halls of the State'. Solution;?How-Bout all the, Obama-ites who voted for, "This Change', how bout you pay for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, so THAT'S how it works, you develop the largest spending bill (read spree) in history and then lecture us on how WE must be responsible and not sell-out the future of our (great) grandchildren like the previous administration did. Bush did spend like a drunken sailor but I sure didn't hear any complaints from the democrats. So Obama has just NOW discovered that there may be a Down side to spending over $1,000,000,000?

vipereatr Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 In 1999 there were 97,957,000 taxpayers. Assume there are now 110 million taxpayers. Also assume that Obama is not even close to being right (95% getting a "tax cut") and that 20% of all taxpayers are going to do the heavy lifting. Then for every trillion dollars in deficit, that 20% of taxpayers will owe $45,454 and some change each. If Obama does lay the deficit on the "evil" 5% then they will owe $181,818.18 each. Remember we are talking about income, not wealth. If we really want to start paying deficits down let's tax spending. Then the Kerrys, Kennedys and yes Bushes will be paying their fair share.
