I really do feel like I’m going to be sick. WHERE’S THE CONSERVATIVE LEADERSHIP!!! IT’S TIME FOR A BREAK UP OF THIS MONOPOLY!!!

It's hard to find words for evil at this level. I am, for the first time in my life, cheering for any bad news that might slow down the looters even a little. I am, for the first time in my life, hoping that the United States defaults on our debt to anyone who loans the democrats money for this massive fraud. This announcement makes Atlas Shrugged look like more accurate than the history textbooks that our kids use today. They are simply stealing $3.5T from our children, and we're letting them.

Nothing left but shooting them at this point. And that would be illegal.

Honestly .... we're screwed economically. So we just need to watch and wait for the INEVITABLE social unrest that is sure to come.

Yep, Geithner (of the Tax-Cheat-and-Summer-Camp Geithners) presented his $1.5 Trillion bank bailout, today. Without debt service, we are now at about $3.5 Trillion This Administration spends 2.5 times what it criticizes the last Administration for spending *in the first 3 weeks.*

Meanwhile, the FOOs (Friends of Obama) don’t pay taxes or the penalty for not paying taxes that you and I do.

Makes me feel pretty good (not) that the President is delving into the doctor’s examination room and the hospital surgery suites.

“So Zero is going to spend more in one Congress bill than Bush spent in 7 years?”

What am I, a accountant? I haven’t looked up the numbers. I’m sure Obama will beat out last year’s record deficit of $400+ billion this year. Don’t see it letting up much thereafter.

[null and void]

...the most of it?

[Centurion2000]

Without debt service, we are now at about $3.5 Trillion

Got a good breakdown for that number? We're going to need it.

[Psycho_Bunny]

Holy %#@$

[avacado]

$200 billion budget deficit in a year - Bush bad
$3 trillion budget deficit in a year - Obama good.

We are soooooooooooo screwed!

[hocndoc]

See Keepitreal’s number 5, above (original bailout, stimulus, bank bailout).

[avacado]

"...and they haven’t even dealt with the budget yet."

Oh yes they have! That baby is ballooning at a break neck speed! Obama is on his way to a $4 trillion dollar deficit his first year!

[demshateGod]

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE Let’s start focusing on our states and holding them to the fire. Let the feds have their big debt and try to find money to pay it off.

[hocndoc]

Or maybe it’s $2 Trillion

[peace with honor]

see, my parents were wrong, money does grow on tree’s

[L,TOWM]

And they will be far from the scene of the crime when those that have any remembrance of what was, joined by the semi-starving that come to realize they have been lied to their entire lives, come for them...

[avacado]

It's not a big deal! We can spend all we want. It's fine. President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe has this all figured out. We just need to follow his lead...

Zimbabwe to launch 100 trillion dollar note

Like Sissy Matthews, I feel something on my leg.
But it isn’t crawling up my leg, it’s trickling down my leg.
And it ain’t a thrill.

[angelcindy]

I want a billion of that!!!

[Red Steel]

Inflation should be well into double figures in a few months.

Inflation should be well into double figures in a few months

Yep ... time to go buy more ammo .... that might be a decent alternate currency in a year's time.

[OB1kNOb]

I stand corrected. Bad choice of words.
