He drove the deficit up over $6 trillion in under 4 years & that is over 1.5 Trillion a year. Now he wants the chance to bring it down by 4 trillion over 10 YEARS!!! That is only 400 million a year average!!
No matter how you do the math, the shortage is 1.1 trillion a year!!
What a guy!!!

Amid all the cheers at the DNC, did anyone wonder exactly: where the one million new manufacturing jobs by the end of 2016 will be (China); the other million or so jobs at community colleges (”undocumented” immigrants); investing in the economy with funds no longer used for war (what economy - we’ll all be wearing burkas); ad nauseum.......

Actually I think this may just buy him a negative bounce in the polls

I’m sure I just missed it but did he say just how all these wonderful goals would be done. Just some more blue sky mining. The speakers that condemned profits and railed for social just were more honest at least.

As I noted on another thread, I can think of examples of "econom[ies] built to last":
- barter-based economy with hunter-gatherer food production (it lasted hundreds of thousands of year)
- slave-using agrarian economy (it started, what? maybe 10,000 years ago and is still up and running in the Muslim world)
- Confucian-model economy (exam-based bureaucracy run by scholars who got to be land-owners, with merchants as an underclass, ran a good 2000 years plus until Great Power spheres of influence mortally wounded it and the Communists finished it off)
- Feudalism (a run of about 1000 years is pretty good)
Now which of those does Obama want? I ask because socialism and social democracy sure as heck aren't built to last -- they're coming apart at the seams in Europe a mere quarter millenium or so after Bismark created the first attempt at a welfare state in the unified Germany.

Did he get CBO to score it before he presented it?
