Anonymous Coward User ID: 628289 United States 03/12/2009 12:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Presently, the tax on a pound of tobacco is a little over one dollar...Come April first, this will increase to over $24 for that same pound of tobacco... Now, if we increase that tax further, improving on this brilliant idea, to let's say, $700 or so, this will rapidly help reduce the debt and deficit...I know this is a small step, but together, holding hands in solidarity...well.... YES WE CAN!!! |

They will believe everything they are told. We are the slaves of the elite, we will work for food and we will not even have to hold up a cardboard sign on the street corner. We will be assigned to our work, we will be assigned to our sleeping space, our offspring (if we are allowed to have any) will be taken from us and educated by the masters. welcome to the NWO |

Meaning, halve the depth we get into debt every year. We will STILL be getting deeper into debt. We aren't even in surplus territory like we had at the end of the Clinton years [where everyone in Congress was falling all over themselves to "SPEND THE SURPLUS" without talking about doing anything about the debt]. |

Trillion dollar deficits are going to be the norm for the next 10 years or so I think was the last line? It'll be that easy...a lot of the spending in his latest bills are perpetual spending...those new govt programs will not go away, and they never get less hungry for funding. ____________________________________________________ E-mail anytime [email protected] Inquiring about a ban?, include the IP address found here.

[link to money.cnn.com] That's some shoddy reporting by cnn.com. The writer seems to want to use the terms "deficit" and "debt" interchangeably for some odd reason. Obama is clearly referring to the budget deficit and not the national debt. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 563342 United States 03/12/2009 05:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Ok, so he plans to do this in 4 years. Please if you are a believer tell me how. Quoting: poisonfan2008well Im not a believer but this is why he claims he can do it. He does not consider it to be debt if he spent it. Its only debt if Bush spent it so when he says hes going to "pay off half the national debt in 4 years" he only means half of what Bush ran up. Obozo spent more in a month than Dubya spent in 8 years and hes just getting started so once Obozos first and only term is up his deficit will be one for the history books. |

Of course I could be right and he is just back peddling now and switching the words around thinking nobody will notice. |
