We're in trouble in this country and it's because of politicians who are simply sociopaths. There was an article from an F.B.I. behaviour specialist who said politicians and serial killers share the same behavioral traits and that's pretty evident.

Both parties borrow and spend like crazy and now the Democrats act like cutting spending is the worst thing in the world when these same crooked politicians have us 14 trillion in the hole.

They can spend trillions in the blink of an eye but they are threatining a Government shut down over a few billion dollars.

We can't keep spending in a global economy with cheap labor. The problem is the money that the Government spends gives a small benefit to the American people and the massive debt it creates does away with any benefit that might have occurred.

If we spent a billion dollars 40 years ago, Americans would see 80 to 90% of the benefit now we spend a billion Americans will see 50-60% of the benefit and the rest of the money will spread out overseas but Americans have to pay back the billion plus interest.

So we can't have a massive Government and massive debt but sociopaths in Washington will keep butying us in debt.

I guess 8 years is just a blink of the eye to you.14 trillion came from Homeland Security, SIPRnet used for the DOD and government agencies around the world no less. Not to mention secret bunkers for any corporation that Bush liked to secure the infrastructure? ATT, Verizon, so on and so on.Then you had multiple wars and multiple secret wars on top of those. And yes last but not least tax brakes for the rich for over a decade.

Of Course everything is the fault of Bush and Obama is just an innocent bystander forced to spend trillions because of Bush.

Bush borrowed and spent like cazy and Obama is no different.

This is the problem with Americans. Part of the country gives the Republicans a pass on everything they do and the another part of the country gives the Democrats a pass for everthing they do and the middle of the country who can think for themselves gets screwed in the end.

And the worst part is pretty much none of that benefits you the US public, i guess it keeps military people employed and that but its pretty much a credit card the US government can spend to line the pockets of their friends that you the public end up footing the bill for. Its stupid really, but what ya gonna do when money rules everything.

I feel sorry for you guys really, its not your fault its like this its just that your government doesn't give a crap about you Obama is trying to get health care to you all but idk he's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. Im not from the USA so the whole hating on the leader of the nation thing doesn't make sense to me if he's trying to help he cant magically fix what bush did. Though i wonder how things would of played out if 9years ago instead of bush declaring war and sinking you guys into 14trillion dollar debt he decided on health care wonder if you guys would be against it then. I figure the governments screwed you guys already so hard that you might as well get some health care benefits out of it right?

Hillary is raping us blind with the same moves that came out of Bushes White House. When the war in Iraq got put on the books because of Obama. The spending got shifted around between the USDOD and USAID. USDOD and USAID are the ones who are even behind the uprisings around the world.

Heres CENTCOM saying they work with the State Department in there Operation Earnest Voice chaos program of propaganda.

www.centcom.mil...



In the past year, CENTCOM has pursued several initiatives to improve our capabilities in the information domain, and we have coordinated these actions closely with the State Department’s Undersecretary for Public Diplomacy, Judith McHale.




In the broader CENTCOM AOR, Operation Earnest Voice (OEV) is the critical program of record that resources our efforts to synchronize our Information Operations activities, to counter extremist ideology and propaganda, and to ensure that credible voices in the region are heard. OEV provides CENTCOM with direct communication capabilities to reach regional audiences through traditional media as well as via websites and regional public affairs blogging. In each of these efforts, we follow the admonition we practiced in Iraq, that of trying to be “first with the truth.” Full and enduring funding of OEV and other DoD information operations efforts will, in coordination with State Department initiatives, enable us to do just that and, in so doing, to communicate critical messages and to counter the propaganda of our adversaries.

Activities in Cyberspace

Cyberspace has become an extension of the battlefield and we cannot allow it to be uncontested enemy territory. Indeed, in the years ahead, extremist activities in cyberspace will undoubtedly pose increasing threats to our military and our Nation as a whole. DOD and other elements of our government are, of course, working to come to grips with this emerging threat. Clearly, this is an area in which we need to develop additional policies, build capabilities, and ensure adequate resources. I suspect, in fact, that legislation will be required over time, as well.



But the French have taken the torch for the war front and Hillary is neck deep with them. So I would say they have worked around Obama not wanting to do things by making him do them in there own ways.
