[Cicero]

The debt is complicating efforts by President Barack Obama and Congress to cope with the worst recession in decades as stimulus and bailout spending combine with lower tax revenues to widen the gap.

Golly, gee, AP, you don't suppose that Barack and his Democrat stooges have anything to do with CAUSING this scary debt crisis, do you?

With their porkulus bill that does nothing to create jobs or stimulate the economy but doubled the debt, and a TARP bill that is used to keep the bad times rollin' and more subprime mortgages goin'? And the nationalization of Chrysler and GM purely to bail out the Auto Workers.

Please do not trouble yourselves with this. Gosplan-on-the-Potomac is in the process of addressing any imbalances and will shortly announce a New Economic Policy. This new initiative will permit small shopkeepers to operate and seek modest profits while retaining state control of the commanding heights of finance and production. Thank you.
