Almost $18.5 Trillion in debt.

[Two Thumbs]

I remember being pissed when it hit $100 billion.

Ya know how we try to explain to leftist that this much debt is bad and they don't seem to understand?

And you know how bent outta shape offended they get when they see this image;

I used to think is was b/c a heartless person was making fun of a retarded child.

But then it dawned on me.

They are made b/c they are jealous of the kid making it to potato when they can't.


How do you explain economics to someone that can't count to potato?
You can't

and that explains all their replies to our pleas to not spend more money, not enlarge the government, not pass more useless and redundant laws.

Look at this
U.S. National Debt Clock : Real Time

The debt increases by $10k every second, every single second of everyday. That's $860 million a day.

And the top candidates for the dnc will gleefully increase it. They are getting cheered for their plans to increase the debt.


but potatoes are racist, brown on the outside and white on the inside, so I guess that makes it ok.

3 trillion from the Bush Tax cuts
3 trillion from Iraq
1 trillion from drugs for vote
Unknown trillions lost from the GOP deregulated and ruined economy
another trillion for medical care for the tens of thousand maimed in Iraq

Then there are all the little stuffs, like the money lost from shutting down the economy and the cost of making people use the emergency room as primary health care.

Thank God Republicans aren't responsible for any of it.

But St Ronny
But BOOOSSHH
but but but

we were just cleaning it when it went off


not one leftist can man up and admit obama is a fucking moron
let alone confess that increasing the size of government is a horrid idea.

never confess, never have an idea to fix things, just blame someone else.

thanks redean, 4th leftist moron on the thread, 4th in a row to blame someone else.

predictable

It's not about blame. It's about history and taking responsibility. Two things Republicans easily forget and don't want.

obama is at fault for our current debt and lose of our AAA credit rating

no leftist will ever admit that, even though you know it's true

You like to pretend it's just the gop, but it's not.

increasing spending comes with a need to increase taxes, you can't increase it more on the middle and you won't tax the poor, so you pretend that increasing taxes on the rich will have no effect on them.

or your just dumb enough to think that

your ideas will destroy the country, the people leading int he dnc polls will see that our debt explodes. There's not enough rich people to tax, there just isn't, but you know this, and support doing it anyway.

Why do you want to destroy the country, just curious.

How can you not know the S&P blamed the GOP??????

Duh!!!! No. Double Fucking DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

credit downgrade gop fault - Google Search

Obama is the leader of the Greatest Nation on Earth.

but when shit goes south, he blames others

why?

b/c morons can't think for themselves.

pussies like him can't man the fuck up, take responsibility and lead.

Can you even eat potatoes?

Thank you St Ronnie and the GOP for turning this country from a creditor nation to a debtor nation.

Ronald Reagan

"Reagan proved deficits don't matter."
Dick Cheney

Are you literate?

Can you tell the dif between debt and def?

We lost our AAA credit rating b/c obama ramped up the debt.

but that's RR fault, since he's got divine powers that extend from the grave.

that you honestly think our credit rating was damaged by obama is sad.

It's a shame you think it was all someone else fault, and that obama was helpless to prevent it.

Not that you care, b/c yaknow, Reagan did it.

Why do you insist that Obama take the blame, but Reagan is blameless?

 

[Campbell]

18 Trillion indebt and the liberals still haven't solved a single problem, man, these guys just plain suck.

You people should start watching something besides Faux News. Reagan and Bush tax cuts for the wealthy caused the debt and the beginning of the end of the middle class in this country. Did you know that nearly two trillion dollars of the money borrowed by Obama was needed to cover the interest on the Reagan/Bushes debt? NO....I didn't think so! Obama spending has been trivial compared to that spent by George W. Bush in his two hot wars.....one totally unnecessary!

another moron blaming RR for obamas actions

you filth clearly don't care about the country, you leading candidates brag about increasing spending, massively and yet none of you care to call them out on their delusions.

You either can't read a chart or refuse to....start getting your news somewhere besides Faux.

The only thing wrong is that you NumbNuts can't stand the fact that he's the president. Hell....you proved that before he was re elected:

 

[Rozman]

We are over $18 trillion in debt and why we aren't pressing candidates and those in office asking what the fuck are we doing about it
is beyond me....

Republican candidates and those in office don't seem to care.
Democrat voters,candidates and those in office blame it on the GOP,Reagan,Bush
then mumble something about Halliburton and walk away.

Democrats act like they have not been a part of government for the last 20 years....
Everything that has gone on is someone Else's doing like they have just formed their party and are just now
joining the government.

If interest rates move up the slightest and we all know that will happen at some point it means
it will cost us all that much more to service the debt....

This should be a priority for America.

It's really not that complicated. The reason we have the debt is tax cuts for the rich. Reagan slashed them to 50 year lows and quadrupled the debt from $1 trillion to $4. Clinton raised them and balanced the budget with a path in place to completely settle the debt. Then instead of leaving Clinton's plan alone George W. Bush, advocate for big oil, cut taxes twice, 2001 and 2003 and doubled the debt again.....$5.7 trillion to nearly $12 trillion. It's the goddamned tax cuts and never a cut in spending. At least the Democrats tax enough to cover their spending. Obama can't get any support from the Republican side to even begin to raise tax rates. It's not rocket science...it's a matter of historical record:

Why can we still afford a War on Drugs?

Because the US can borrow the money to BUY the religious votes.

Or it can have Janet L. Yellen print the dough until her heart its content.

You people just don't get it! This country was whole and we had a middle class when the greedy bastards at the top paid their way. Now they don't even get involved in their unnecessary oil wars.....they send the children of the neer do wells and high school graduates to do the fighting. Before any new war is actuated the assholes who declare it necessary should be required to send one of their own. After a slew of them begin to show up in coffins at Dover you can bet your broad ass the whole thing would be over.

You people just don't get it! actually we do, that's why we wonder how you got out of HS not being able to count This country was whole and we torn apart by obama and the left and we had a middle class we still do.when the greedy bastards at the top paid their way. they still pay more Now they don't even get involved in their unnecessary oil wars.what oil war?....they send the children of the neer do wells and high school graduates to do the fighting. the (D) got us involved in wars and they are the only ones to forcefully send Americans Before any new war is actuated the assholes who declare it necessary should be required to send one of their own. so you are saying that obama should send his eldest daughter to Syrai? After a slew of them begin to show up in coffins at Dover you can bet your broad ass the whole thing would be over.

Because the US can borrow the money to BUY the religious votes.

Or it can have Janet L. Yellen print the dough until her heart its content.


.

In other words, Capitalism is really just useless to the right but for propaganda and rhetoric purposes; much like nothing but repeal instead of better solutions at lower cost.

I remember being pissed when it hit $100 billion.

Ya know how we try to explain to leftist that this much debt is bad and they don't seem to understand?

And you know how bent outta shape offended they get when they see this image;

I used to think is was b/c a heartless person was making fun of a retarded child.

But then it dawned on me.

They are made b/c they are jealous of the kid making it to potato when they can't.


How do you explain economics to someone that can't count to potato?
You can't

and that explains all their replies to our pleas to not spend more money, not enlarge the government, not pass more useless and redundant laws.

Look at this
U.S. National Debt Clock : Real Time

The debt increases by $10k every second, every single second of everyday. That's $860 million a day.

And the top candidates for the dnc will gleefully increase it. They are getting cheered for their plans to increase the debt.


but potatoes are racist, brown on the outside and white on the inside, so I guess that makes it ok.

How much NEW debt has President Obama created that wasn't a direct or indirect result of Bush actions and/or policies? Bush's clusterfuck didn't stop when President Obama was sworn in.
