AND...what are the democrats currently talking about at the DNC?...FREE Birth Control!!!edit on 4-9-2012 by IAMTAT because: (no reason given)
We don't have money for more free candy for everyone.

Juan Williams already gave Bill O'Reilly the bad news.
If Juan was walking down the street in Washington DC and Sandra Fluke ran up
and asked for $100 to pay for her birth control for 6 months, Juan would say "No."
Jobs and the economy are at the top of the list for the upcoming election. Those who count the votes will decide who wins. Between illegal aliens voting, electronic machines, scanners, tainted voting rolls and cheaters, we won't know who actually won from the top down. Again. Of course, Soetoro/Obama has no legal right to be on the ballot, but since every member of Congress is a gutless coward, as well as Georgia's Secretary of State, Brian Kemp, and cowardly judges, the same fraud could happen again this November as did four years ago: an illegitimate candidate "wins" the presidential election.
If you've spent the time researching who is behind the curtain and how the dirty game is played, it doesn't matter to the global ruling elite which candidate from the two "major" parties wins. Only those who can be controlled make it to the top for decades. A sad, sad thing for us, our children and grand children.
I know that is negative, but people have got to open their eyes. “For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst and to provide for it.” -Patrick Henry
There is no reason for high unemployment in this country. A nation rich in human and natural resources has been destroyed by Congress after Congress after Congress and signed on by presidents for nearly 100 years.
I watched about three minutes of Gov. Chris Christie's speech the other night at the GOP convention on tv. The poster boy for gluttony and sloth, who protects illegal aliens in his state who steal jobs that belong to the people of New Jersey. Christie's get tough, we're taking back America sounds great. I saw the same orchestrated "show" in 2008, when I attended the GOP convention up in St. Paul, Minnesota. But, in reality, it's just more of the same because solutions are never even discussed. Certainly not by the impostor president and not by Williard Romney or Paul Ryan.

You know... Im not a Democrat and I was NOT a fan of Bill Clinton during his presidency but as I get older and look back, his terms in office were entertaining and he actually did a great job on our budget.

That debt can't be paid back and even if it could, those to whom we owe the $ would simply inflate the debt via any and all means as the debt is their leverage. They most likely wouldn't even take the payment, they want the leverage.
Say there was a way to pay a billion a week towards that debt... if it was interest free it would take us over 3 centuries to pay that to $0 IF there was no further debt generated.

It only took 3 years for Obama to run up the debt by another 1/3. If it can raised by 5 TRILLION in one term...it can be reduced by 5 TRILLION in one term...although...obviously NOT by THIS president.

you obviously dont understand the concept of exponential expansion do you?
its a mathematical certainty that every year the debt will "inflate exponentially"
and this would happen under goldylocks or the seven dwarfs if they were pres,
its NOT THE PRES,
its the system stupid

Great attitude. Let's just give up on reducing the national debt then (even though it's been reduced in the past)...and embrace hopelessness by reelecting Obama.
I will, however, give you credit (no pun intended) for actually managing to come out in support of Obama; it seems most dems seem to be ignoring the debt due to Obama's role in massively expanding it.
Oh, ...and ONE MORE THING:
In 2008 Obama stated that by the end of his first term, HE would CUT the national debt in half!
Was HE ignorant of the concept of exponential debt expansion...or merely lying to the American people in order to get elected?

And you obviously have no idea how an economy works.....
you know me and my abilities? orealy?
You cant throw out a mathmatical term used in a totally different area, and NOT associated what so ever with economics.........and claim thats the answer, and act like its some sort of economic fact....
i love maths, i understand maths, i do it for fun.
very smart man explaining exponential function please watch then tell me i know nothing
please ask if there are anything in the vid you dont understand
Learn economics before throwing out loose terms trying to look like you know what youre talking about...
lol orealy?
The way this administration (and previous, altho not to the extent ) have run up INTENTIONALLY the debt, and continued to print money is a catastrophe.......
i will agree this point
Your lil "magic word" doesnt compute into this equation........
there is very little magic in maths
please dont think i dont know what i am talking about,
i LOVE maths.
economics INCLUDES maths

ok a solution,
usery, or compounding interest is the problem, as debt based money attracts interest that has an exponential function.
no interest no exponential expansion of debt.
