    Nice, instead of actually addressing the points, you gave a weak two-liner that doesn't attempt to disprove anything I've said or even offer counterpoints to further your own line. Is this because the facts aren't on your side?


    Also, how does GDP only tell half the story? Do you even know what GDP measures?

        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
        sorry bro but your 1.6 trillion was never used to fight terrorism, it was used to line the pockets of the likes of george bush jnr and senior,haliburton and whatever other greedy corporations that are involved. your country has been ass raped since it's inception and hopefully sometime soon you all wake up and take back control and make america what it should be. hey if ordinary working class people of egypt can bring down a corrupt government im pretty sure true blue americans can.

        after all you have the us army/navy/fbi/cia/other secret agencys that were not supposed to talk about lol. take back your country

        ps. when you take it back send me my greencard

          You are talking about comprehension?

          This is a direct quote which was posted by yourself earlier.

          Ok lets dissect it

          "Why would believe to a Canuck?"

          Hmmmmm is that supposed to be English?

          " he got no business talking about US economy,"

          So you are talking about comprehension skills yet your sentence can not even be comprehended.

          "they just follow what US does."

          So wait you went from a "he" to a "they", yes that makes total sense and I guess you weren't present in grade school grammar.

          "He is mostly speculated and wanna be economist"

          Ok wait we are back to single person now "he" is back. Mostly speculated? Wait what is mostly speculated? Because if someone were to read this post they would assume He as in HotDiggity? But are you talking about Economists? Or are you trying to say that the economists are speculating on the actual results of where the American economy stands?

          So wait you are calling me out because I couldn't comprehend what you were trying to say? It would take a English professor to figure out what you actually meant in that sentence all I did was "speculate".

          ******* knob.

            you said, when referring to The Stimulus saves our economy
            I'll believe economists and the results over you.
            Which isn't a true statement. Billions were spent on things that had nothing to do with preventing a slide into a depression or stopping the recession as they wanted you to believe. Scare tactics and nothing more.
            I will use my common sense and not believe those who say it did save the US and side with the economists that say that that is all a bunch of bullshit . Obama made things way worse and despite his scare tactics and wasteful spending the US is slowly recovering. Despite and NOT because.

              Wow, a great argument. Obama is supposedly detrimental to our economy but it's recovering anyways. Such logic is pretty LOL-worthy. You have STILL not addressed the data I have given.

                wow great comeback and very LOL-worthy at my end. We can compare graphs till the cows come home and neither will convince the other. You will add the GDP chart showing how great things are since Obama took over and I will point out that it got bad when the Dems took over the house and senate and Freddy and Fannie forced the banks to accept billions of bad loans, thus caused the housing bubble. You will dismiss that as non sense. I will shake my head at how you can still support everything Obama does even though he is a disaster and you will continue to foolishly support his failed socialistic policies and disregard his blatant lies while looking for any signs of success by spinning his accomplishments. And so on and so on. That, we can agree on.

                Look at the latest budget for a perfect example. The people sent him a loud and clear message in November and instead of being a leader and the President of the people, he comes out with a budge like he did. Total disregard for what the country wants and needs. He doesn't get it. Clueless. Throwing money at the problem doesn't make it better.

                    Maybe on paper in some ridiculous concept that disregards the entire world around you but in reality if you're in Kenya you're fuckin in Kenya, nobody with any sense considers that an attack on US soil just bc we own the 50 acres the embassy is on in the middle of some Muslim shithole

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.


                              I love how everyone pissed that the government is protecting us, and blames the war for everything, and not all the 18yr old ***** on welfare that keep making babies. Everyone wants to point fingers, Americas population has become big headed. there was a reason everything was great back in the day, because americans worked hard, and didnt have someone else do everything for them.

                              I back the u.s.a, however its the retards who take advantage of everything that ruin it

                                    You're right, all economic policies and their repurcussions are seen immediately

                                    With the ridiculous amount of spending Obama implemented, I would certainly hope a lot of jobs were created. The problem with our economy was that it would improve too quickly, then crash. Rinse and repeat. Steady growth while limiting spending is what our country needs, not an extra lord-knows-how-much debt for a short term boost in jobs. Do you really think our economy is doing well? Is the dollar strong? Are we even attempting to lower our debt, most of which is going to be owed to Americans in the future?

                                    All Obama is doing is setting us up for failure in the future. We all know government can't run a business effectively (see: USPS, Amtrak), so why are we giving them more and more money to "fix" things?

                                                    all that money would have helped all the states that face huge deficits now.

                                                      I'd rather waste/spend money here than waste it over there.

                                                        Sorry boys, I'm a big fan of what 'bama did, as far as bailing out those corps and banks.

                                                        They did their home work on that one. They corrected the mistakes from the '30's to
                                                        head off another depression. How would we be if the govt let them fail? Where would
                                                        we be if the govt didn't extend benefits for the unemployed? We still have a long way
                                                        to go to get out of this mess.

                                                        I suggest we start buying American products and buying savings bonds. This is like
                                                        WW2 where everyone needs to get on board and support our country. Get out there
                                                        and buy something, preferably American.

                                                        ABC News is doing a segment on buying USA products, watch it.

Everyone wants to point fingers, Americas population has become big headed. there was a reason everything was great back in the day, because americans worked hard, and didnt have someone else do everything for them.

                                                            I back the u.s.a, however its the retards who take advantage of everything that ruin it

                                                            So I guess these fallen soldiers died for no reason then?

                                                              I swear every time I try and read your posts it feels like I get dumber by the minute. You couldn't put together a proper sentence if your life depended on it and plus I already served you notice and your rebuttle was weak.

                                                              Just in case you didn't catch it

                                                              This is a direct quote which was posted by yourself earlier.

                                                              Ok lets dissect it

                                                              "Why would believe to a Canuck?"

                                                              Hmmmmm is that supposed to be English?

                                                              " he got no business talking about US economy,"

                                                              So you are talking about comprehension skills yet your sentence can not even be comprehended.

                                                              "they just follow what US does."

                                                              So wait you went from a "he" to a "they", yes that makes total sense and I guess you weren't present in grade school grammar.

                                                              "He is mostly speculated and wanna be economist"

                                                              Ok wait we are back to single person now "he" is back. Mostly speculated? Wait what is mostly speculated? Because if someone were to read this post they would assume He as in HotDiggity? But are you talking about Economists? Or are you trying to say that the economists are speculating on the actual results of where the American economy stands?

                                                              So wait you are calling me out because I couldn't comprehend what you were trying to say? It would take a English professor to figure out what you actually meant in that sentence all I did was "speculate".

                                                              ******* knob.

You ought to know in writing that quoting a line means it was provided by other text. Eventually I didnt, again I did not (in case you missed the word) write the above quote.

We can make use of the resources of our country for the betterment of our country such as for projects for the impoverished citizens or for better health benefits and such. I believe that with proper communication we may be able to solve the problems we face peacefully.

                                                                    You're losing credibility quoting a line that wasnt written by someone. You ought to know in writing that quoting a line means it was provided by other text. Eventually I didnt, again I did not (in case you missed the word) write the above quote.
                                                                    I am losing credibility? You have as much credibility as a fukking crack whore telling you she is clean so you can fukk her bare back. You did write the above quote and if you went to page #2 and looked at post #62 you would see it. But I know you aren't the brightest individual so I have copied and pasted it just for you.

                                                                      They did their home work on that one. They corrected the mistakes from the '30's to

                                                                      to go to get out of this mess.

                                                                      I suggest we start buying American products and buying savings bonds. This is like

                                                                      ABC News is doing a segment on buying USA products, watch it.

Now get off this thread and talk about how your gov't will lessen your 40% tax that you been paying and your 10 hour wait time on your hospitals.
