Just another $1,000,000,000,000.00+ in the hole : USA

[No coincidences]

Jimmy Carter is the real blame - we have never truly recovered

mainly in foreign affairs

God you are predictable.

Stick to what you know -- threads like sterotyping blacks.

"If all else fails, blame the Dems." What a simpleton.

[No coincidences]

educate yourSELF pal

get a clue libtard

I really hope you're just trolling and aren't this stupid.

[CarpeDime]

I'm not a liberal moron.

How old are you? 12? Could your "understanding" of the parties be any more elementary? Wow.

my "understanding" of parties is based on COMMON SENSE that libtards like you do not have

I vote for a world where I pay no taxes and as a result my country owes no money, while you vote for a socialist world where you pay huge taxes and your country owes an enormous amount of money

but i cannot possibly explain anything to you because to those whom understand, no explanation is needed and to those whom do not understand no explanation is possible therefore i will always be right and you will always be wrong and theres nothing i can do about it

seton hall/marquette over 139.5 liked it more at 138 but would still take 139.5
tennessee/kentucky under 132

[muldoon]

My solution is responsible government leaders and a government that truly works for the people, which no longer exists thanks to lobbyists and corporations working their way into their back pockets.

In other words, we're fvcked.

Stuff like this amazes me

I am neither liberal or Democrat. Try again.

Think for yourself instead of just regurgitating what you hear on Fox News. You process your political thinking like a second grader.

Would be curious to know what everyone feels to be the optimal debt/GDP ratio within 7 years of a recession and during a time of war.

You are trolling. I get it. I fell for it. Nice work.

Fox News isn't even news it's a complete joke. But when reading the posts of a person who states they vote for "no taxes and as a result have a country that owes no money" you have to expect cartoonish posts. No taxes... no military. No taxes... little to no infrastructure. Man no wonder the country is in such dire straights.

Doesn't FOX news provide a contrast to MSNBC? They have some good commentaters to present a different perspective. I watch all 3 to get the best ideas/propaganda.

Far too broad a question but the real question relates to sustainability of deficits.

[QuantumLeap]

We're fukkked.

Thanks for the change Obama...

Don't blame Obama. Blame the people who voted for him. They knew he was one of the most liberal Senators when he was in the Senate.

[QuantumLeap]

Plenty of people still blame W. And Clinton, and HW, and Reagan....

Common denominator? They're all to blame. It isn't a (D) or (R) thing these days -- it's a government thing. Period.

Actually Republicans in Congress have been known to spend much less than Democrats in Congress. However, both Republican and Democrat Presidents have their own special projects like wars or health care that they try to push through in order to spend.

When Clinton was President the Republican Congress tried to cut the budget but he vetoed it. Eventually his veto was over-ruled and the country prospered and people have been giving Clinton credit ever since. So your chart is very misleading.

I guess that's true if you're looking for the best propaganda... but I doubt you find good ideas within either.

I should have substituted opinions rather than ideas. But a lot of it is propaganda.

This is hilarious watching Boehner act like.. " We really feel bad for accepting that money"

He's out there handing out the checks - then says "we need to put a stop to this"

Unreal

[golfrulz]

Now is NOW - carter, reagan, bushes & clinton are irrelevant as to this fiscal year's deficit


Not debt but deficit

[billysink]

My question is .....why do you fukkin people spend so much time blaming this side and that side when you could be productively allocating your time learning to speak Chinese.

You are all two phone calls away from being Chinese, why not get the "jump" on it now.

China...“您好主席先生，我们想钱，你欠我们现在请”
Barack...."We can't print any more we gave it all to the banks"
China...."弯曲你对不起屁股爆发狗。我们自己的你和你的毛茸茸的屁股。日子 过好"

It is one part of the equation. But growth 'achieved' with borrowed money is a mirage unless that growth also spurs productivity.

[PittsburghPlayer]

Watched a show on the History chanel recently titled "Prophets of Doom". Check the show out, we are screwed.


Those of you blaming political parties and or individuals are fukking retards.

oh, and stop having children. It is way easier to watch the country collapse when there are no children involved.

and fukk it, since it is just past 4:20 - smoke a bowl.

^ $1 million dollars



^ $1 BILLION dollars (single pallets)




^ $1 trillion dollars (Notice those pallets are double stacked)

Most of the people in this country can't comprehend numbers this big. I read a book several years ago called "Inumeracy" that describes this "numerical illiteracy" of the country. Of course, our leaders can't comprehend it either. And when you add to it all the stories in the news of "richest people in the usa" and "facebook guy worth 17 billion" these numbers lose value.

Not just "numerical illiteracy"

The deficit is lower than it was last year.

Actually, its the lowest since 2009.

Do you know how nonsensical that comparison is?

Explain how past presidents are responsible for this yrs deficit
