The GOP gave Reagan slack why not give it to Obama?

Who in their right mind thinks America can/will pay off the projected $26 trillion in debt??? Add in the rest of the unfunded liabilities at the state and local level and America is a bankrupt nation. We will not pay the debt off !

It won't happen. It is an impossible feat ! We will default ! Just a matter of time....

.

The coming double dip recession, will hold off inflation...but it won't last forever. The only way the debt will be manageable will be to walk away from it, or to triple the number of dollars available....which would translate to be a nice 30% annual inflation rate over a 10 year or so period. So the "debt" will only be a 1/3rd of the size, but your retirement assets will be as well....and oil....how about $15 a gallon gas? Becauase at today's values, a barrel would be over $300.

And second, other countries pay for both. They don't let folks just die. The difference is that the government pays for it so that everybody pays according the the rules of taxation. Here, only those of us responsible and moral enough to purchase health insurance for our employees pay.

The argument that the people should decide who represents them is a red herring. Originally Posted by TexanAtPlay

Of course.... that's just my opinion...

Even in the "Wild West," there were certain, basic rules that were monitored by those in charge! Have you ever heard of Marshall (no pun intended) Dillon?

It never pays to repeatedly cross over the line. Having been involved for many, many years on the P and Eccie, my unsolicited advice is to just accept it, learn from it and move on!

Your sage advice and long years in ECCIE .........your too fucking funny BigTex......you take yourself way too seriously. You just aren't that fucking important or influential here dude....

I merely responded to the question you asked. I did not notice any mention in your question that it only applied to someone other than bigtex!

Perhaps you might consider sending a PM to whomever next time. That way I won't be tempted to respond!

Shhh, don't look now but an open forum is just that. It's WIDE-OPEN for anyone and everyone to respond!

If you don't want me responding to you in an open forum, my 2nd piece of unsolicited advice is: Send a PM and/or Move On!

Oooooooohhhhhh BigTit let's us know he is the wise man on the mountain top ..........


I still would like to know if it was something Marshall said in a public post; or somthing that happened otherwise ! The mods can let us know which. And to ask the question isn't anything to be afraid of dude ! You act like we aren't even suppose to inquire - your a dunce if that is your thinking !

I am doing my best to be "important or influential!"

Your repeating yourself old guy ! Now go take your daily dose of Geritol BigTit !

Getting banned is a private matter, always has been.

Why do you think you are owed an explaination?

This isn't a government sponsered forum, nobody owe's you anything, get over yourself.
