So in years past the government could run a deficit and make up the difference by mostly borrowing from the Social Security surplus. They can’t do that anymore. Now they need to hit the credit markets for ALL their deficit PLUS the amount needed to make Social Security solvent. Social Security has gone negative cash flow two decades earlier than expected.

We are in a heap of trouble but it apparently still hasn’t hit home yet. It will in about 5 more months.

No business person in their right mind would expand or hire, no citizen should spend a penny on a credit card that can’t be paid off at the end of the month.

If his monetary policies aren’t crazy enough, the guy can’t decide who is a friend and who is a foe. He must believe the talking heads, that every problem we have internationally is the fault of Bush, so Obama does the opposite. I feel like I’m going crazy, trying to figure out who this guy our President is.

Do any of the writers on the left think Obama is crazy?

This government is so broken that the best course of action would be to not allow them back into Congress after their next recess. A mob should descend on Washington and exercising their first and second amendment rights, prevent the returning miscreants from entering. Give them the choice of going home or to G Bay. Then tell each state to send new representatives—one teacher, one doctor, one nurse, one construction worker and yes even one lawyer and so on and so on, until a truly representative government is formed. They can then use the newly crafted legislation to see what is good and what is bad and enact responsible and responsive legislation. And then hold trials for all the former congress critters for gross negligence at a minimum.

Unfortunately, this country is too focused on making a freak pedophile into a saint.

I have read some things that say she has committed suicide and
other things say she will really fight now. But I think a lot of people
who vote, and I mean a lot don’t read blogs or the newspapers or
even watch TV news.

These kind of voters will be easy to tell that Mrs. Palin is a “quitter”
and the charge will stick.

I guess she could answer back that she has more experience than
the Obama had when he was elected, but I do not think
that will win the argument.

What will happen for her?

By passing a false “stimulus” which actually did nothing to stop the decline when it still could be stopped, this government has guaranteed economic disaster. There is no point to a “second stimulus”, which Krugman wants. It also now doesn’t matter that the first “stimulus” is going to begin to spend money. It is too late for the damage to be stopped – it is akin to adding plasma to an accident victim after he’s bled to death. And really, how many jobs are going to be created by “broadband internet access”? Sure, it’s a nice idea, but seriously, is that the kind of thing that is going to make even one job? Productive people already have such a thing – and unemployed people are not going to be helped by it. The so-called “stimulus” is nothing but a pile of these jobless giveaways piled on top of each other.

What’s worse, any attempt at a second stimulus will bust the dollar, spike interest rates, and cause for more economic damage than it helps.

We are on a nose dive into an economic black hole, and there is now no way out.
