US Debt Clock FACTS liberals and the media ignore: 300+ million Americans, 140 million WORKING Americans, 20 million of those are GOVERNMENT employees, 68 million on Social Security, 48 million collecting some type of Welfare, 12 million on unemployment, 2 million in prison or jail...etc

$4 BILLION A DAY added to our $16 TRILLION debt, 15 million MORE on Welfare than when Obama took office: What percentage of a population can feed at the public trough before that society collapses?

Meanwhile, troops have already been sent to Jordan, 3,000 troops just sent back to Iraq. We're moving troops into Turkey. Guess Obama is preparing for war in Syria......

Seriously?!

What was Obama's Proposal? $400 Billion in cuts spread out over 10 years.

That's $40 Billion per year in cuts.

We borrow $4 Billion PER DAY !

Cutting only $40 Billion per year is MEANINGLESS !

Obama has enough experience in crossing all red lines.

How could Americans stand Jay Carney for more four years?

Obama's "tough choices" are coming to dry up US budget.

Their endless Wars need more spending.

Obama can not provide more money for his Jewish war brokers without cutting the essential needs of Americans.

This president made clear that he will add another $6 trillions to the debt.

for scatt b...I'm trying to see this problem from your point of view but I can't get my head that far up my ass. Are you one of those dummies who thinks Obama is responsible for all of the 16 trillion in debt this country has? You need to stop watching Fox "news" and find out what is really going on in this country. Thanks, and have a nice day.

Don't worry! We can send missles to Turkey pay for Isreali,Egypt,Iraq, Afganistan and live on food stamps! While Goldman sacks, HSBC and all the mega banks laundry money and arm Al Queada and mexican drug lords! We have lost our way and have become much worst than the countries we fight! The WORLD sees what a crumy place america has become! And there is no where to go to get away from the bullshit!

The GOP are trying to force Obama into one crooked-ass deal. The revenue the GOP will raise from the top by talking away loopholes & give-aways, the top shouldn't of had in the first place. Why aren't the rest of us getting this shit? We're stuck paying for this mess. And the GOP are demanding Obama rob Soc Sec & Medicare in return for cutting this crap. Obama should expose all of this, then refuse to let the GOP hold SS & Medicare hostage to it. Even if it means shutting down the Govt till 2014

You didn't win the house! I guess you should have changed the tax code when you had the chance three years ago.
