Obama to hike 10-year deficit to $9 trillion

[Red Dawn]

Well I know how we could reduce debt, stop all foreign aide, close bases around the world and drastically cut back on the military budget. Let someone else be the "Worlds Policeman"

Your liberal European friends are sure not going to like protection from the Red tanks being taken away.

Im with you on the aide part.

All of this foreign aid reminds me of a judge Judy episode.

These countries can't get credit from China so we borrow it and just give it or 'lend' it to them.
Why exactly should we go bankrupt helping other countries?

Well, we are escalating another unnecessary war, and increasing spending without a tax hike. I'd say that's pretty damn close.

social welfare far exceeds military spending. Just over $1.2T for SS, medicare, medicaid. $700B for DoD.

We were already on the hook for this due to the double whammy brought on by your thankfully EX-Traitor In Chief and his gang of criminals. They squandered trillions of dollars in current and future debt (along with thousands of American lives

) in their illegal war of LIES in Iraq and trillions more when they abandoned all oversight and control over their wealthy, greedy Wall Street robber baron buddies and contributors.

You're just pissing and moaning about Obama's choices in dealing with the mountainous debt burden they laid on the nation.

Oh fucking cry a river of bullshit why dont you.

Get over the whole weak ass pussy foot "But but BUSH" shit and wake up. This is ALL OBAMA. He wanted, he got it. The Blame Bush game is over.

Nice hyperbole. Obama isn't great, but he's a darn site better than some others.

Obama > Martin Van Buren

A defense budget of $0 is equal to that of Iceland, less than that of East Timor, and the equivalent of a big sign saying "Hey radicals, come blow us up!"

Yes, it's all Bush's fault. We know Mr. Brokenrecord. :roll:

Fuck Europe. If they want an army let them raise their own.

That's right folks, Obama is only compunding them at nearly an exponential rate. Apologists UNITE!

We don't have any choice about dealing with the debt the Bushwhackos laid on us. We've got lots of threads discussing what to do about it, and I'm sure there will be more.

Harvey, give it up. If the government stopped all spending except entitlements our government would still be running a deficit. This is not Bush, this is the Democrats, and they want to do nothing more than add to the burden. I'll take a war that stimulates innovation and employs my engineering friends any day over entitlement programs that do nothing for technology.

I actually had a response typed out, but then I saw who I was replying to.


I didnt say what I believed. Our large military bases were left in Europe to protect them, and they love it.

Maybe you should tell them to hate "gays and brown people" too.

How come you never complained about Bush's deficits? That was somehow different, right?

Oh, and about the 8 months, FY2009 goes down as Bush's budget. And deficit.. Obama's first budget isn't until FY2010. You might want to get a clue. But wait! that might stop you from trolling your nonsensical partisan hackeries! What was I thinking? Carry on...

 

[Vic]

Hmm... I wonder how many GOP wingnuts here are blaming Obama for this year's budget deficit yet still blame Clinton for 9/11? It never ceases to amaze me the leaps of irrational illogic that partisans will jump to. No wait, I forgot, nothing tops the time when piasabird blamed Obama for forcing the BofA/ML merger which was finalized 1/1/09.

Time to slash the defense budget.

yes. yes we do. Let businesses that fail...fail. Let people who were retards and bought more house than they could afford...lose their houses. That's the fuckin point of our economy. Or was until the retard-in-chief was elected last year.

ZeGermans is a buffoon the likes of which this forum has never seen (and think of McOwen when you think of the incredible feat that is). The next intelligent comment he makes would be his first and probably only one.

The Europeans can defend themselves as far as I am concerned too. Time to cut back on being the world's policeman as well.

Yep, I think it is time to slash the defense budget and lots of other programs/budgets as well.
