I believe 9/11 is a flaw, it been done before and it will happen again. Thats what greed can do, sad to believe but there's people that are really evil.

PS. Every time an american president takes a speech you'll hear the word "american interest".

[AribaAriba]

It's a fking joke how much America spends on military defense, you will never hear Republicans or tea baggers talk about cutting some of that huge expense from the budget.

Thats y i think this country is heading on the right direction by pulling most troops out in Afghanistan on 2012 and decreasing the funding in defense since Bush era.

[Domestic]

It is sickening to think about all the waste so I just don't and continue degenerate gambling.

[shawnkang]

money well spent right?

[Richards]

True. A no-no subject. This money that was collected from Americans and borrowed and spent where did it flow to in the end? Carlyle Group, Haliburton, for example. There are nice jobs waiting in these firms when politicians and cabinet members retire. Wouldn't want to speak out and jeopardize this.

[tanner40]

What a fuckin waste, they say we're 4 trillion in debt I wonder why

I'm surprised no one else caught this. Add 10 trillion to that and your closer.

Ron Paul 2012. He is the only candidate who will bring our troops home.

Proud to be an American... The greatest country on earth!

usa is playing give away...$$... war should only take 24-48 hours

You guys are complaining about 1.3 Trillion dollars yet no one is asking about the 2.3 trillion dollars that was unaccounted for. The day before 9/11 Donald Rusmfeld annnounced that 2.3 Trillion dollars was unaccounted for and there would be an investigation into the matter.





Well even is you asked them questions about where that 2.3 Trillion dollars went the government would tell you that documents leading to where that money was spent had been destroyed.... Thats right the ONLY portion of the pentagon that was destroyed in 9/11 was where all the documents were stored that accounted for missing 2.3 TRILLION dollars of government spending.

[uofajoe99]

Saw a pie chart the other day that listed government expenditures....Defense "slice" was huge! Education not so much..

I spotted it but at the end of the day it doesn't really matter.

A state debt of USD 14 trillion equates to around USD 70,000 for every tax paying American. Put another way if you pay income taxes in the US, the first USD 3,300 each year goes to covering the INTEREST on the national debt. As each year goes by, that figure grows and grows faster than incomes do.

The bottom line is that debt is at a level where it cannot be repaid. Time will tell what that means for the future of the world economy and for capitalism itself.

[DwightShrute]

today is the 2 year anniversary of the nearly 900 billion so-called stimulus. Talk about a waste.

[gangeriver]

Yea sorry I forgot that the government just prints monopoly money and makes no effort at all to operate within any type of a budget, I heard 4 trillion somewhere (when Bush was elected it was 6 trillion, I just looked at a graph) but now its actually 14 trillion which is just fuckin unreal, I mean who even cares anymore, there's probably a trillion a year we pay just in interest now, thats just too fuckin sick to even think about

Invest in gold and silver boys this rides about over, Bush refused to raise taxes while spending 2 trillion on pointless wars (the Republicans like to borrow money to support the troops) and now Obama just spends money like a kid in a candy store, the word budget to him should be included in comedy acts, 2 of the worst presidents in the history of our country and combined they may have just sunk the country

Unfunded liabilities of Medicare and Social Security are over 46x this.

[bettilimbroke999]

Unfunded liabilities of Medicare and Social Security are over 46x this.

I know its sick, lets face it politicians dont want to get fired so they let these systems continue without reform. In reality SS is just about done and Medicare well I dont know what will happen there as we may go to socialized medicine so I cant even take a guess.

If you watch the price of silver lately its fuckin unreal, heres the silver price chart for the last 6 months



18 bucks to 32 (actually 32.5 as it went up again today) in the last 6 months, nothing like a 150% APR to get ya to want to invest in silver

[oiler]

What a fuckin waste, they say we're 4 trillion in debt I wonder why

Half of that for wars without any goals in Iraq/Afghanistan, after 1.6 trillion how the **** did we not get Bin Laden I mean that was the one goal I thought wed actually accomplish. Anyway when a loaf of bread costs 500 bucks you ***** who support these ridiculous wars will understand, hell south carolina wants to ban federal currency in their state already

You wont be sayin support the troops when you're starving to death, **** support the troops quit spending 300 million a day on 10 years of pointless wars and get the **** out of that desert hole, I just saved the country a couple trillion and a few thousand troops lives, how does supporting the troops involve getting them killed for nothing, fukin idiots

Is the country even any safer from terrorism after 1.6 trillion already blown to fight terrorism? **** no

what i dont understand is .we go there and fight these people.then we rebuilt theres back up while we got veterans living in the streets and kids going hungry......dont understand it

The Stimulus saves our economy, the Iraq War screws the economies of others. I like the first option.

So all of the citizens of Iraq are also terrorists? Interesting...

no truth in what you just said. I am sorry that you believe it.

I'll believe economists and the results over you.

[AribaAriba]

Why would believe to a Canuck? he got no business talking about US economy, they just follow what US does. He is mostly speculated and wanna be economist...

There are many economists that say the complete opposite

What a waste of money. It's all scare tactics and you bought it. OHHHHH, we have to spend all these billions immediately of we will go into a depression

so here is the urgency that avoided the depression ...

* The U.S. Forest Service is spending more than $554,000 to replace the windows in a visitors center at Mount St. Helens in Washington state. The senators' report says the Forest Service closed the center in 2007 and has no plans to reopen it.

* The University of North Carolina in Charlotte received $760,000 in stimulus funds to help develop a computerized choreography program. The report says the program will assist in the "design and production of interactive dance performances with real-time audience interaction."
* $62.5 million for a project to extend the Pittsburgh light rail system under the Allegheny River to the new Rivers Casino and two professional sports arenas. The senators said the project has been plagued with problems and federal officials seem to be "throwing good money after bad."

* $7.3 million in funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for two fire stations in San Antonio, Texas. The senators said federal regulations governing use of the funds have delayed the project, causing a $2.2 million run-up in costs.

* $1.2 million to convert an abandoned train station in Glassboro, New Jersey, into a museum.

Ron Paul: Stimulus "waste of Money"

I would rather believe some one like Paul rather that Obama who failed as Senator in Illinois and has failed as president so far. Anyone can put the US 14 trillion in debt and present a ridiculous budget as was presented a few days ago. Obama just cries wolf over and over and you guys still refuse to wake up.

[DwightShrute]

sadly, I probably know more about the US that you do. Assuming you are American. I do own property in the US and was a part owner in a business in the US, so

[Buried_PIRATE]

Imagine if they put all that money on the knicks

[Hotdiggity11]

Then ask economists to explain the DOW going from 7900 to over 12,000 under Obama.


Or how our GDP went from being in the negatives at the end of the Bush Administration to us currently being in 3 consecutive quarters of growth.

And, of course, a jobs comparison.

Bottom line our Capitalism Society is design to fail at one point in time and it is bound to rise up again. Unemployment is part of Capitalism and sadly, it benefits the rich no matter what.

I like you guys only tell half the story. The gullible will believe you but the rest won't. We know who controlled the house and senate for the last 4 years. Nice try.

Ummm is that why the Canadian government DID NOT join in the Iraq war? Is that why the Canadian Economy is not in shambles? Is that why Geneva rated Canada as having the most safest banks in the WORLD... FOUR years in a row? Shut your ignorance ass up and have fun paying for that deficit.
