Obamacare FIXED! Take that you Teabaggers!

Our economy is all about globalism. If country A can make a product cheaper than country B then let them make it and we will buy it. Yes we have a bad ass military but it's only because we know we need to maintain stability in the world. Don't think the US cares about oil because we don't. We care about free trade and open access to world markets. We have about 75 years of oil left btw.

I don't know what you mean by double talk? Do you mean I'm talking out of both sides of my mouth? Let me clarify- I have no problem with people making money and lots of it as long as it's legal. I love America, I joined the military for no other reason than to serve my country. I voted for and like Obama. I'm a Democrat, I'm a common person, and proud of it! I think all people should be able to see a doctor if they are sick no matter what. All people should be able to eat and have a roof over their head. When someone goes to jail I think that all of society is to blame. So if this is being a leftist then I consider it a badge of honor. Originally Posted by Misawahawk

The dollar is not based on anything of real value it's debt based and it depends on it's ability to trade and oil is important. Oil is important not only for the refinement of modern fuels but the manufacturing of raw materials that go into the production of Rubber, Plastics Paint products and Solvents just to name a few. Actually America could produce enough oil on it's own to supply just our country for a virtually a lifetime, but it's the trade value of oil that is most important to our economy. If the dollar falls to low in value and can't remain the reserve currency of the world it affects all economy's not just ours. If that happens essentially what you would get is economic collapse. Our country has been for sometime preparing for such an occurrence. I am glad you love this country, I do as well but you can't deny the inevitable that our economy is fading. America for to long has been consumers and not producers.

I'm convinced the Tea Baggers want this country to fail, are rascists that will never like Obama because he's black, and they oppose people's choices on individual freedoms. Maybe the system would have worked better if not for the shut down. It's all for not, the vast majority of America don't support the Tea Baggers. I will be crying tears of joy when their beloved wealth is redistributed. Originally Posted by Misawahawk

about that redistribution thing ..


I am convinced you're the poster child for leftist stupidity. You just displayed the level of intelligence I could only expect from a four legged animal, not a human being with a mind of his own. The Tea Party doesn't want the country to fail you idiot. What they want is for the country to be more self sufficient. Liberals are nothing more than double talking fanatics throwing the human rights and freedom of choice bullshit up in the conservatives face. We all know that's just a tool to use against the conservatives, the liberals don't mean it. You're exactly the type of person the liberals want, they actually refer to people like you as "useful idiots" So you can keep bashing the Tea Party, Conservatives or Republicans whoever, but in the long run they are groups that are really trying to keep those that live to turn us into slaves from succeeding.

Without getting technical, cause frankly I don't have the patients. Bush added less debt to the deficit in eight years than Obama has in just five. Obama is your big spender in this equations. Originally Posted by acp5762

Bush sent the deficit spiking with his tax cuts to the rich claiming it would help the economy. All it did was make the rich richer and the deficit skyrocket. Funny how they made the cuts just in time for someone else to take the blame. Cheney is a smart one for sure.

Fiscal 2009 began Oct. 1, 2008. That was before Obama was elected, and nearly four months before he took office on Jan. 20, 2009.
President Bush signed the massive spending bill under which the government was operating when Obama took office. That was Sept. 30, 2008. As The Associated Press noted, it combined “a record Pentagon budget with aid for automakers and natural disaster victims, and increased health care funding for veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.”
Bush also signed, on Oct. 3, 2008, a bank bailout bill that authorized another $700 billion to avert a looming financial collapse (though not all of that would end up being spent in fiscal 2009, and Obama later signed a measure reducing total authorized bailout spending to $475 billion).
On Jan. 7, 2009 — two weeks before Obama took office — the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office issued its regular budget outlook, stating: “CBO projects that the deficit this year will total $1.2 trillion.”
CBO attributed the rapid rise in spending to the bank bailout and the federal takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac – plus rising costs for unemployment insurance and other factors driven by the collapsing economy (which shed 818,000 jobs in January alone).
Another factor beyond Obama’s control was an automatic 5.8 percent cost of living increase announced in October 2008 and given to Social Security beneficiaries in January 2009. It was the largest since 1982. Social Security spending alone rose $66 billion in fiscal 2009, and Medicare spending, driven by rising medical costs, rose $39 billion.

You seem to be a victim of your own conclusion. I don't care to name call anyone and I have no hatred for somebody simply because they do not see things the same as me.
I do however have a bit of disdain for someone that opens his first post to me with lame comments such as yours.

Your seemingly superior command of the topic, which you are quick to assert in a rather demeaning and sarcastic manner, set the stage for you to get a little "BUMP" in response!

He could have easily with the stroke of pen impounded the funds ... ala Nixon.

But he wanted the help BEFORE HE TOOK OFFICE.....AFTER THE ELECTION:

"
"UPDATE on November 10, (2008) at 7:15 PM EST:
A source tells NBC News that Obama pushed Bush on an economic stimulus package, saying that action is needed now, not after the inauguration:
According to the source, Obama told Bush that action is needed on a stimulus package now - in a lame duck session - and cannot wait until after the inauguration.
Obama also urged help for automakers and encouraged the acceleration of the disbursement of $25 billion dollars for the industry.
On his third focus - housing - Obama voiced his concern that homeowners whose mortgage rates are about to go up will need aid to prevent more Americans from defaulting on home loans."
