Mr.Gramps is right -- Baaad bullies. Anybody that doesn't think that you can live your life on credit is crazy. Much of the US does it everyday. By consistently spending more than you earn, you provide employment to bill collectors, bankruptcy attorneys, foreign governments like China It's like providing foreign aid), the law enforcement industry who has to arrest and house those who have to becomes pro-active wealth re-distribution agents in order to pay their debts, credit card company billing and accounting employees, ad infinitum. It's just that right wingers think that you should not spend more than you make. They don't understand that spending more than you make is the key to growth and progress. I really don't know why they think this way. The FF thanks Mr. Gramps for his assistance in maintaining and supporting the truth of this "advantages of debt" line of thought.
Sure, control spending & make cuts but also cut (stop) oil subsidies and tax breaks and loopholes for corporations and the uber-rich. Easy peasy. Dicks.
The propaganda meisters have you guys all convinced that the debt is the one and only problem this country faces, and that Obama is the architect of the problem.
If it were only that easy.
The "we are spending ourselves over a cliff" story line is barely more true than the WMD stories you blindly accepted a few years ago, back before Obama was the one who started the war in Iraq.
How gullible are you guys anyway?
If this deficit problem was really so dangerous, why did you guys go along with the reckless spending of President Bush? Any why, please tell me, do the proposals to correct this critical problem have more to do with contraception and abortion and tax cuts for people earning a million bucks a year than they have to do with fixing this oh-so-critical problem?
Why do we have to bust unions, cut pay and benefits for anyone making under $100,000, gut environmental and work safety regulations, gut Medicare and Social Security so we can privatize them to for-profit companies, while spending enormous amounts of money on companies and individuals who donate to political campaigns?
If the debt is so critical, why was it of such monumental importance to cut inheritance taxes on families with estates worth multiple millions of dollars, a feature that is going to cost $25 billion and benefit a few thousand American families?
Why is that, conservative Ditto Heads?

Read, @#$#@ the debt and continue to spend with no regards to dangers. These people are just plain stupid, but if they are so worried about this kids: start raising money from your like-minded people to help pay for their education or whatever.
