Quoting: Dr. Lecter I'd be in favor of cutting most of that first. We have to go thru the riot phase and the international condemnation phase, but we can't afford to pay this support to people who did NOT pay in for years from the fruit of their talent and hard work. |

When the gold standard was taken away from the monetary system in 33 amidst the depression. WAKE UP AMERICA WAKE UP AMERICA "I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death." Thomas Paine, The American Crisis, No. 1, December 19, 1776 "Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigues of supporting it." Thomas Paine, The American Crisis, No. 4, September 11, 1777 "I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a monied aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. The issuing power (of money) should be taken away from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs." -- Thomas Jefferson, U.S. President. "A majority of the people of the United States have lived all of their lives under emergency rule. For 40 years, [79 years now in 2012] freedoms and governmental procedures guaranteed by the Constitution have in varying degrees been abridged by laws brought into force by statutes of national emergency." |

If you voted for anyone other than Romney, this is your fault. As thousands of us were screaming at the top of our lungs before the election "A vote for anyone other than Romney is a vote for Obama". And you fucking did it anyway, you POS. Respectively i disagree sir, Romney wanted to substantially increase defense spending which would only make our fiscal problem larger(and was the silver lining for why ron paul didnt endorse him). Not only that but he is an establishement republican. If you think our monetary policy is shit like i do you can point the finger at bush and obama the two people who elected ben bernanke and if you think romney wouldnt do the same your nutz. Romney would have drove a stake thru the heart of ObamaCare and stopped the UBER LEFTY Socialist movement. THAT ALONE would have been enough and make him worthwhile.....except of course to SHEEP like you. So NOW you are going to get what you voted for. I can't wait to hear how happy the libtards and Paultards are that Obama's plan to gut the military is successful, so successful that China takes the entire Pacific and Russia rolls over Europe. Nice going, jackholes.

Quoting: mrmuffins69 too bad this student cant read 222,000 BILLION IS 200 trillion n 16,100 BILLION is 16 trillion Its not 200 trillion either lol. srry i meant to say 222 trillion its not 222trillion either lol. and our gdp last year was 15.1trillion not 16 trillion. The yearly deficit is about 1.3 trillion, not 222 trillion lol. I am translating "promises that have been made for spending obligations, less all the taxes the treasure expects to collect" to expenditures-revenue. This is the definition of the deficit and it is 1.3 trillion a year lol what im trying to say is you said 222,000 billion was only 222 billion when it is actually 222 trillion, i was just correcting your mistake, $1.3 trillion deficit a year sounds right |
