Doofus dumbocrat in DENIAL!

I'll just sit here & drool on myself like they expect me to. Wtf was he thinking?

I don't get it, either. I would really like one of his supporters to do the math. After all, they voted for him. There must be something they know that we don't. Maybe I missed that day of math class. Enlighten me, Obama supporters!

1) His math is faulty - He is saying he wants to get our deficit down to $533 billion by the time his first term is up; which is approx half of the previous deficit ($1.2 trillion) which does NOT include the $700 billion financial sector bailout OR the $787 billion stimulus package. This total deficit is actually $2.787 trillion. To reduce that amount down to $533 billion he will have to come up with the money to run the country each year AND pay interest on the debt PLUS an additional $563 billion each year to pay down the actual deficit. IF he actually could accomplish that we would have no deficit one year after his first term of office is up. 2) He is insane - Repealing the tax breaks on people who make more than $250,000 WON'T accomplish this. Especially since he wants to increase spending on universal health care, education, alternative energy , etc., etc., etc. For him to actaully accomplish what he says he wants to do would destroy America as we know it. Of course, since he was so good at raising money for his own campaign, maybe he could hold a weekly telethon to raise money to pay off the deficit or have a web site for donations where all the proceeds go to pay off the deficit; but, I don't think he could keep up the necessary momentum to achieve his goals that way either.

Here's how you do it: You just completely ignore the giant porkulus of 787 billion. Then you can (theoretically only) cut the current deficit that bad guy, W, left poor, poor Mr Obama, in half, to 5xx billion. See? It's EASY! Like taking candy, from a baby. Now, if you include the porkulous, AND give 0bama that he can really halve it (ha!) then he will increase the deficit with the porkulus, from [b]1.3 trillion to two trillion eighty-seven billion[/b], then cut it in half to one trillion forty-three billion five hundred million. So he would (in theory) actually cut the deficit by a mere two hundred fifty-six billion five hundred million -- nowhere near half. Of course, all this precludes the FACT that this administration has already SHOWN us they have no ability to restrain themselves, so how they will "streamline government" and "restore fiscal discipline" is beyond me!~ Heck, I had enough trouble with the trillions and billions -- when I was in school, a trillion was an imaginary number, and a billion was a ridiculously huge number.

Could it be that Obama's war on small businesses is his back door attack to get everybody on gov't healthcare? I think a lot of the small businesses that are going to be affected by taxes will be doctors, dentists, opthamologists, etc. who own their own business.

I simply don't understand it. I didn't understand it when I heard it on the radio today and I don't understand it in print. Unfortunately we will all be subject to his "new math". On one hand there is the deficit inherited which the current administration says is a horror. On the other hand is the argument that spending is the only way to fix the economy. So if spending is the only way to fix it, why reduce the deficit at all?

It's simple... he is going to raise the taxes on the evil rich... at least that is what he claims. The stimulus package is only the beginning of his spending programs. Anyone who believes this BS that the 0bamunist is spouting is just stupid enough to have voted for him. I believe that he is deliberately trying to destroy our economy. As to the VP... that idiot is just as delusional as the 0bamunist is.
