I think weve all been broke before. Large men come and break your thumbs and threaten your family, and then you hide out in a dumpster until it all blows over. Thats all well and good for an individual, but what happens if our entire country goes broke?
Robert J. Samuelson raised this concern in the Washington Post, and it got me worried, even though I didnt quite understand it all (which perhaps actually increases the worry). We cant just hide America in a dumpster (and even if we could, I bet that goody-two-shoes Canada would rat us out); we need a real plan for if the U.S. were to go broke. So is this a real concern?
I believe so. Our president loves spending money. He just loves it. Now, hes really smart much smarter than even a border collie but I just dont think he understands basic economics. His solution to everything is Lets spend more money on a giant new government program! And while hes spending the money, he has this big, happy Im spending money! smile on his face. Its adorable. Thats why I dont think anyone has the heart to tell him we dont have any money left to spend. Think of the sad frowny face hed make if he was told he couldnt spend any more money; wed all be heartbroken.
Still, with America going broke, its a huge problem. Just the other day, Obama heard some people dont have health care, so he was like, We need a giant new government program to get everyone health care! People even told him, But that will cost a lot of money. But Obama said, No, it will save us money! And when people asked how, Obama said, Because of these magic beans...

Rush often states he thinks Obama’s destroying the economy on purpose. This is one area I disagree with him. I think he and the liberals are actually stupid enough to think they are doing well, and are making economic plans as if they will have a Bush like economy perpetually.
When government puts a gun to my head and hisses, "You don't want people dying in the street, do you punk?", that's an indication that our national economy is based on slavery. I reject that form of society.

Dictatorship.
Dictatorship, as in the military coming in and taking over before things spin totally out of control? I was actually sort of hoping for that until Gen. Casey made his inane statement about the Ft. Hood Shooter the other day. Now I am thinking our Generals are as uselessly PC as all the rest of ‘em.

Many work directly for the government or are General and/or Sub-contractors.. On many levels from Federal, State, County, or local governments.. Even the contractors have parasitic hangers on..
This article is hilarious. Last two paragraphs:
“If none of this works, though, there is one final plan and it also involves nukes again because theyre so useful. What we do is send out a broadcast to the world that we just cant take it anymore that a broke country is a country not worth existing. Then we totally nuke ourselves.
“Well hit ourselves with nukes all over (dont forget Hawaii and Alaska). Then all the other countries will cry over the tragedy and kick themselves for not being nicer to America. But the thing is, were careful to only nuke ourselves in non-vital areas. We actually fake our death. And guess what: America is insured with Lloyds of London for ten trillion dollars. We have Americas widow collect the money, and then we all secretly relocate to the moon. One more thing: we tell Obama were relocating to Mars. Yeah, it will be pretty sad with Obama all alone on Mars asking, Where is everybody? Dont they need someone to lead them? Hello? But politics is a harsh business.”
