You guys don't get it. This is the American people's government. Not BO's or GB's but the American people's. We have allowed government too much power and now we will have to pay for our mistakes. There arn't enpugh patriotic Americans left to take it back. Sacrifice is a thing of the past. Suck it up! Take your punishment with dignity. In 100 years it won't matter. Just don't plan on retiring any time soon. Retirement and job security are a thing of past. Greedy lazy people this to happen!

He's just stating the obvious. Would you rather he lie to us?

bunghole1000- You think that money isn't earned, it's just created by the government. You think if we all just share we'll be so much better off. Of course there will be a disproportionate amount of sharing going on, but don't mind that. If you work hard enough you too can give half your paycheck away to those that don't work, can't work or won't work. That's communism, not a Republic. As far as defense spending at least that money is keeping us safe, not bankrupting us with nothing in return.

bungerman1000, hows it going? you still liking Obama? I never did reply to your accusations, sorry. i grow tired of those fights sometimes. i appreciate your passion about your side of the argument but i want to convert you to my side so this country can be better than what it is today. Oh yeah my side, you ask? I try to be as independent as possible, unfortunately I have to pick a side sooner or later and sometimes I get lumped into unwinnable arguments by association. Fairtax!

People aren't born tools; they are molded into tools over time. For example, a Keith Olbermann viewer.

Hey Dan, isn't tough that you didn't have a choice in whether or not you wanted to be a tool?

[bungerman1000]

sure, if I deem your yard worth giving money too, or my representatives I vote for do. Sorry, you people think the country runs on hugs and not money. Go look at the defense budget if you want to see some real pork. Why are you not complaining about the other 98%? The part of the policy that actually matters? I'm sure I can search back a few years and see you crying about all the pork that was in the Republican projects, since I know you could not possibly be a biased hypocrite, right??

[danimal9579]

Hey Warren, aren't you glad you voted for Obama?

[zgarrett14]

bungerman 1000, may I have 2% of your weekly income please? I just love yard projects and I really think i need to beautify my yard in order to better my environment. I can't set it up to directly draw from your paycheck like the big FED, nor can I threaten you with imprisonment like the big FED, so i am asking you nicely. It is just a little pork, not a lot in the big scheme, c'mon?

[konnigkratz]

I've no idea why someone put a thumbs down for your comment, it is exactly right

[bungerman1000]

once again, people like yourself are worrying about 2% of the whole bill, ala the pork. That sure isn't a whole lot in the big scheme of things. Obama would be pushing his agenda whether there was a crisis or not. Its what new presidents do, ya know they whole first 100 days thing? Another thing you fail to understand is Obama was talking of these things 2 years before election day (remember how long the process was?) That was before there was any sign of a crisis which proves your point wrong
