TheRealThing Wrote:100 Billion over the next 10 years huh? If you take our projected deficit 10 years from now you're talking about 25 Trillion Dollars. 100 Billion subtracted from that amount in the form of a fraction would look like this 1/2,500th of the debt, (money we borrow only, not the whole budget) So, if you want to get an idea what that means in terms of real savings divide one dollar into 2500 equal parts and subtract 1 of those parts, which will leave you with 2,499 equal parts still owed. That's putting a dent in the old balance sheet boy! And you're spreading that amount out over the course of a decade. More fuzzy math from the liberal truth benders.Bingo! Every tyrant needs a scapegoat to divert the dumb masses' attention away from the fact that their wealth and freedom is being stripped. For Hitler, it was the Jews, and for Obama and his socialist supporters, it is the rich (white) man.
This whole business about taxing the rich is eyewash. Obama [B]knows it is meaningless, the Real intent here is to get people like---YOU? to get an attitude about the so called rich people so that redistribution of wealth will become ethical in the eyes of the American public. Hitler blamed the Jew in much the same way with the devastatingly effective results. [/B]
We are spending our way into oblivion. Simultaneously, prices for energy and food are going through the roof and the worm of inflation eats away at the value of the dollar. Do you really think the democrats can deliver utopia to you on a platter? Without spending cuts I predict we will not be taking the air of freedom into our lungs by the time we reach the predicted 25 trillion national debt plateau.
Very soon you will see the true meaning of "the fundamental transformation of the United States of America" in all it's horror. But, you're probably telling yourself you'll be above the strife along with all the other dems right? It will be those republicans that will be finally getting what they deserve.:please:
Regrettably, I wasted enough time to watch your provided link. You're gonna reference comedy central while you pooh pooh Wikipedia? LOL Every society in history has had it's poor, but, even in the beginning Kings and rulers knew if they issued an invitation to belly up to the free lunch bar, the numbers of the poor on the dole would literally explode. So they didn't start down the road that has only one ending point, national downfall. I hate to see somebody hurting too, and they should be helped but, that isn't the limit what we do in this country. We house, clothe, feed, medicate (mentally and physically), and provide cell phones, just to name the more common ones. And, unfortunately, human nature assures us that many will take advantage of people willing to give things away. As long as we will hand things out there will always be more hands stuck out than we could ever hope to possibly fill.
Stewart's rant on your link doesn't take into the account the fact that we have 2nd and 3rd generation welfare recipients in this country. While the lower paying service jobs all wind up going to immigrants legal and illegal, or to student summer help. In the old movies we commonly see soda jerks and gas station attendants portrayed along with every kind of service job we could name. Americans have become too good to do many of these jobs, but, not too good to recieve government entitilements. The reason immigrants don't feel too good to do service related jobs is because they haven't yet acquired the uniquely American position that some work is beneath them. They are still saddled by the quaint notion if one want's to eat he must work. Of course, give Obama time, he'll get all that nonsense out of their heads. How about a nice check included along with their amnesty papers and a democrat voter registration form?
