  • The Obama spending spree is very worrying ... I hope we spend on what is NECESSARY. Is it true that there is stimulus money devoted to turtle farms and bike paths ?

  • Again, it's funny how conservatives are NOW worried about federal spending and the national debt after 8 years of it.

    And it's funny how somehow wasting money on foreign wars is better than wasting money on the interior.

    What's wrong with Bike Paths, our country is a bunch of fat fcks that need exercise. In Denver they have bike paths that reach 60 miles. Used to bike 8 miles to work on them, it's actually pretty sweet.

  • Seems to be deliberately putting us into a skyrocketing debt, so that we can't get out, on purpose.

    The end expected result, is total dependency on the gov, total control of everything,

    and a permanent crisis that they can play into maintaining power in "elections", Chavez style, Iran style,

    Cuban style....

    Obama's favorite countries, ya know.

    From the article..."Finally, there's the "Bush did it too" defense:"

    Did you read the article??

    You guys beach and moan about 300 billion yet when your guy triples the amount with projections it will be that way for more than a decade you point backwards??

  • the only difference between the 2 parties is what they are willing to waste money on. thats why i stay outta these threads....

    depending on who's in power, the other side is bitching about shit they care nothing about when they held power. GOP war-mongers will fight us to financial depletion.....Dims just dont know anything about money other than taxing and spending.

    personally, i dont care....any sabre-rattling from either side can be ferociously refuted in 15 seconds.

  • more moral relativism, Choco - that's all that is.

    There is a hell of a LOT of differences between the two parties.

    Too many similarities here and there? yep.

    But to say that the Republicans long dreamed of a socialist control of our governent is laughable.

    Not funny one bit about the Dems, now.

    Obama SAID (you all NEVER really listen to him)

    "Now is our time".

    true. So many Americans buy into it and become partisan hacks.

  • concerned about Obama's defecit spending.

    So pointing toward Bush Jr is no longer relevant?

    So the 2 Wars he got us into at the 200+ billion we now spend yearly must not exist

    the 3 tax cuts CREATING LOWER TAX REVENUE does not count

    The medicare entitlements that he pushed that are going to cost us 100+ billion/year must not count

    What about the deregulaton debacle that almost crashed our system CAUSING us to borrow against Chinese investments and infusing more than 800 billion dollars the republicans and Bush push must not count either

    The Recession you know meaning negative growth and more unemployment = less TAX REVENUE must not count either

    Seriously I like this political direction SUDDENLY the dems who are now in control for less than a 8 months are the "bad" defecit monsters for be FORCED INTO THROWING EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO STABILIZE OUR COUNTRY. Wait I mean the Socialism monsters they are... The 2% of all business under government control.... How dare they try to fix the Republican deregulation monster.....

    Sure cutting taxes while increasing spending does not create debt.... Sure recessions dont affect income tax revenue....... creating increased legacy costs (GM anyone?) in medicare does not add to the defecit....

    Banks all over the world collapsing when you walk into to the first day to work has nothing to do with increased spending.... No that 700 billion dollar emergency bailout that was passed BEFORE you get to work is all your fault....

    Of course I am sure its Obama's fault that GM/Chrysler and the thousands of businesses they affect collapsing..... Right..... How about that Military Budget..... Yes he invaded a Iraq and Afghanistan..... YUP.

    Makes perfect sense..... whine about defecit spending when the sink was basically broken and they had no other options the first day to work...

    O sure being ranked in front of Slovenia must make us proud while spending the MOST of any country...

    No we dont have to fix our for profit insurance/health care industry.... no we will let CUBA catch us.... Yes those Bad Socialistic programs tons of other countries run or quasi private/government systems are BAD..... yes the defecit spending Obama evidently created is BAD....

    The idea is good as long as we do not put the stimulus money that we borrowed to build this. Im sure there are better uses to that money.
