The largest expenditures, like Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security are indexed — so inflation would just increase those expense amounts, making the problem (finding the cash though Treasuries) worse.

Good point... So, basically.. there's no hope?

Add free welfare rent, free food stamps, free clothes, and free education to that list. At least those collecting SSI and Medicare put something into it. They paid their premiums. The lazy welfare slugs have done absolutely nothing at all to earn their keep.
Instead of going after those who did something to pay for their future, why not go after those who have done nothing at all, and who have no reason at all for why they can't get a job, first?

Share the WORK, and the wealth will automatically share itself.

Well then, we’ll just have to open factories and start making farm tools of our own then. It’ll be rough initially, but then we will create jobs and be self sufficient.

You are closer to the truther than you realize.

Most idiots aka americans have no clue how screwed we are.

Even many on this site are utterly ignorant and clueless as to what is coming.

Stock up and learn self sufficiency.

What are you, some kind of radical? We are an INFORMATION SOCIETY. We have the Internet - we have cell phones - food is so passe. The idea of getting our hands dirty is, just, DISGUSTING. It’s much more important that we keep our tanning booths and implant centers open.

But seriously, the Dems seem to (or will soon) have that option cut off - between Cap and Trade, Card Check, and a host of other garbage - the idea of the United States EVER becoming an industrial power again is just so, so, well 20th century.

Does that even matter? The Democrats have the revolving TARP and Stimulus funds that dwarf any conspiracy theory that you’re advocating.

I just didn’t like being called an idiot.

"The fact that Obama is so much worse doesn’t vindicate President Bush, McCain, and the other RINOs who did their part to destroy liberty on their watch."

Thanks, me too...I didn't know exactly what to say...you did.

I do recall that Bush gave $50 billion of my tax dollars to Africa just before he retired to his multimillion dollar house in Dallas.

Not if you cheerpick the market and have cash to purchase.

The ones that I have been bidding on haven’t been able to attract any buyers that could qualify for a loan and have all gone to cash buyers.

i’m also not buying anything that would have to rent for more than $1800/mo.

The US borrowed more money under GW Bush then all the presidents before him totaled.
Not to be outdone Obama will have the same dubious distinction before he is done with us.
One thing I guarantee you the next president will not do the same. He/She won’t be able to borrow the money.

Your post is exactly why I don’t want sarah to be president and get stuck with this mess and get blamed for the hoffic results that will paly out as a result of decisions made by gwb and obama.

How anyone on this site defends bush is beyond me. Gwb is the sole reason we have obama and don’t forget it.

My son (frankly, against my advice)just bought two houses in LA county. He financed both...that makes a total of four he has financed in that area. Two in Glendora and two in Sierra Madre.
