YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB SO FAR.

Put ZZ Top in power and you will get a better economy automatically.

MMM I like the smell of taxes in the morning

[Dimgo]

And how the fuck will he do that?

[Shaehl]

Haha, cut the deficit in half? My ass he will. What's he going to do, have the fed print off a few trillion and pretend that everything is butterflies and sunshine?

But a deficit is a big difference from national debt. All he is promising is that the country will spend 650 billion dollars less a year by the end of his 4th year therefore only going 650 billion more dollars in debt each year thereafter... Or he will tax the shit out of people to make up that 650 billion dollars.

[Spineless_DoO]

ROFL!

Expand the ware overseas. Triple the size and spending of the federal gov here at home. Print over 800 billion of fake money.. When pigs fly. Never at any point has Obama said anything in particular about anything at all. Then he gets into office and the first thing he does is push a bailout through that is 2x more complex then the last one of money we dont have and risk doubling the size of the conflict in the middle east.

This.

Non-understanding-the-economy people don't understand the economy.

[Golden_Knight]

He could cut the deficit in half this year just by not issuing his stimulus package... its pretty ironic huh?

Its like purposely infecting all 90 year old with HIV and they saying in 5 years time the percentage of people who have HIV will be down by 10% (cause theoretical they will all die of old age) ... And not mentioning that it went up 20% this year because he infected people. (OK maybe this is a bad analogy, I hope you get the point)

Well, there isn't much economy left to ruin after 8 years of spending spree and tax-cuts? :rolleyes:

That is actually a brilliant analogy, could I get your permission to use it elsewhere?

[Golden_Knight]

Assuming that your not joking and that I am the first person to ever use it (I believe I am) and the rights are mine to grant then sure go ahead just don't claim it as your own.

Of course you have me pondering exactly where you plan to use it that would require my permission.... but feel free

Thanks for asking
