There IS no other issue that tops the out of control government spending.

Whatever pet issue anyone has (Abortion, gay marriage, environmental issues, liberalism run amuck) will mean what if monetizing our debt leads to runaway inflation? It will mean what when your life savings will now buy a well used car?

” Since Obama took office on Jan. 20, 2009, the debt has increased $5,349,641,980,231.06. That is as much as the entire debt accumulated by the United States from the founding of the country in 1776 until Feb. 28, 1997, when President Bill Clinton was in his second term. …”

Just a warm up if Obama wins again. Try 25 trillion.

$5,349,641,980,231.06.


Money well spent.

Its difficult not to see all the positives all this targeted spending has had.
The Chevy Volt is like a shining light on a hill.
It’s difficult not to get all warm and fuzzy when one think about everything Obama has done for the employment numbers or the housing market.

If you were standing on the 1 yard line and kicked a football 1 trillion inches, how many field goals would you score?

roughly 27,778

If you went 1 trillion seconds back in time, where in history would you be?

roughly 29,000 BC

We are 16 times those numbers in debt.

I understand the pubbies are going to have a version of a debt clock. If the 16 trillion hits during the convention there should be a moment where some one prominent quotes Biden:”Ladies and gents, this is a big effin deal”

Don’t let a crisis go to waste...don’t miss the opportunity to kick the crap outta them.

They must be defeated. “Democratii” delenda est.

Etcetera etcetera and of course, etcetera.

This is astonishing and disgraceful. I dind’t know there was 16 trillion of anything until Obama became President. It’s amazing that anyone will vote for him now.

When the US finally has a “debt crisis” the government will cut a deal with china and we will have chinese accountants running all over the country telling all levels of government what they can and cannot spend.

For some reason I don’t think we’ll hear as much about it as we would if a Republican were seeking reelection.
