  • We are not stupid Barack, you need a course in economics 101 I think. How carefully said and yet so decietfully passed on, blaming others. You throw in words like "unconstitutional" yet you know the law was broken. "Irresponsible?" who is the most irresponsible US president in history? Who has lead the US into the worse deficit since WW2. HOW will the US economy repay that with no industry left and no jobs? You will be remembered thats for sure, but not for your good character. Pfft.

  • "Democratic lawmakers fret that Obama is an inept negotiator. They worry that he should have been out in the country selling a concrete plan, rather than once more kowtowing to Republicans and, as with the stimulus plan, health care and Libya, leading from behind.

    As one Democratic senator moaned: “We are watching him turn into Jimmy Carter right before our eyes.” --Maureen Dowd, New York TImes

  • DEFALT!!!!!!!

    

  • I dont care if we go broke I hate The federal government ! I hope they go broke ! Americans arent the problem its The evil and out of control government. If they go broke it will be harder for them to opress us !

  • @raceman73200 y guys are stupid, americans are in debt,bc they spend all money to Kill MUSLIMs!!! and the Profete say it in Coran already that y will be in debt,now the proof i can see

  • Fuck the world markets ! Default ! Default ! Less Money = Less Government ! Come on default !!

  • THe problem is the Fed.

  • MONEY IS DEBT. money is created with debt IMMEDIATELY attached to it

    go watch the 2nd zeitgeist movie people. it breaks it donw pretty good

    if all debt in the US was paid off today there would be no money in circulation. get it?

  • Obama says people are not smart enough to understand the problem. Well lets try some remedial math. $2T in new borrowing, divided among 76.5 million taxpayers (153M total workers x 50% that don't pay federal taxes) means: Obama wants to heap $ 26,000 of new debt on the backs of each taxpayer, for one year of spending. What on earth could the federal government be doing for me that would be worth $ 26,000?

  • Welcome to the Obama Depression
