I just had a thought . The universe is around 450 billion years old. We as A country are OVER 1 Trillion dollars in debt. This is insane , unsustainable and Must stop. I truly believe Obama is purposely trying to destroy the country.

Yeah, do you also think Obama is a socialist. Just using pure reasoning skills, it might be best not to trust your thoughts.
Look, yeah, the numbers are big. That doesn't mean anything at all, in and of itself. What is the total economic output of the US? Of the world? What is the current percentage compared to historical percentage of debt? What is the real world effect of the US running a debt? These are all tremendously huge numbers.
Seriously, I understand that the debt is an issue, but you all need to stop yelling 'Armageddon' about everything connected to Obama. The bailout happened under Bush, remember? Economist across the spectrum agreed that serious money needed to be spent to prevent the destruction of which you slander Obama as both wanting and causing. Look at this chart, if you really want to educate yourself:

Another thing to remember, is that this same type of talk happened during the last democratic administration. And you know what, we had surpluses that would have completely eliminated the debt if Bush hadn't actually destroyed everything. So seriously, stop ragging on Obama, he is doing his best to clean up the multitudes of tipped over port-a-potties from the last administration. There is no reason to think he isn't trying to do his best at this dirty thankless job. Obama is trying to move us in the direction of a better future. It's a shame hat Bush squandered the opportunity handed to him, but that's just how it is.
Best,
