Guess what boys & tgirls. Looks like another *&^($ stimulus package is on its way. Over $800 billion more of what we don't have, raising the debt past $14 trillion. Let's all bend over for China

Uh, we can cut spending? oh what am I saying. That's just crazy talk.

The right has, since FDR, been determined to eliminate all public services (social security, welfare, food stamps, etc.) that he instituted. What do you think would happen if they got their wish?

It would be a heck of a lot worse than if the dollar collapsed because we couldn't get our spending under control. Is a $14 trillion debt just too big for you or anyone else to comprehend so you ignore it? So you just go on and act as if it doesn't exist and say ok, now back to our entitlements....

Typcial GOP BS,

The hugh debit was not made by entitlements this hugh debit was made by Bush's tax cuts for the rich and the two wars he started
Ending entitlements completely will no where near elimitate the debit
If the GOP really called about the debit they would not be adding trillions to it by keeping the tax cuts for the rich

I didn't say debit. I said debt. And I think you're thinking of deficit rather than debt. Deficit is the amount we over spend each year, and yes we had some ass kicking to do after 9/11 and it cost some money. I've said it before and I'll say it again. BO has already outspent Bush's over spending by several times.

I'm talking about the soon to be $14 trillion DEBT which is the amount we owe to other countries. It has been growing over the last century and has really taken off since Nixon took us off the gold standard. When we get back to something Bush did we'll call you ok?

I don't think anyone including conservatives comprehends the huge debt.
If the conservatives would get serious about the debt, they would support canceling the huge tax break for the rich.

We can't pay off the debt if our economy grinds to a halt. You drastically raise taxes for business owners (i.e. the rich) in the middle of a recession and that's what you'll do. And guess what. The democrats will be wanting more trillion dollar stimulus packages and continue raising the debt to help all the out of work people because you want to tax businesses to death. We need to allow the economy to recover, and cut spending, people will return to work and the debt will go down.
