ViperVette Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Just wondering? How much is the country currently in debt? Has anyone seen anything that can justify us being THAT much in debt? Speaking about 60B$ for domestic projects... isn't that kinda a drop in the bucket with what we're dealing with here? And how could we possible expect to cut taxes and pay that off...Oh, this might be useful... http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/And McCain thinks we can afford to stay there for a hundred more years?

ViperVette Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 If the national debt is increasing by 1.5B$ per day... dosen't that tell you guys we're doing something wrong. Thats 5$ per person, per day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theForgottenone Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Are you in debt? So I guess it's OK for all of us rack up in credit card debt since why worry about paying it off right? Having debt is one thing but keep borrowing more and more over your limit of paying back is non-sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViperVette Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Are you in debt?Technically, yes. Due to frivilous spending and an out of control government... W. is making the same mistakes his dad did. Why do republicans think that more debt is a good thing? The gov't collects a shitload of taxes. Is it that hard to spend within the budget? This high of a debt means that we are throwing 1.5B$ a day out the window that could be used to say... fight the war on drugs, pay our teachers more, make it so our bridges and levies don't collapse. Or to upgrade our aging sewer systems which are wreaking havic on the environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on that note, I'm out of turbinado sugar. I am sure in some way the federal governments spending has caused this deficit. Is there was a supply to be had here I would pay a lot for it. Damn it bush. You have irreversibly effected the sugar market in my microcosm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViperVette Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Actually Chuck, if I took into account my finances... then subtracted the 30k$ in debt the government has put me be association. Yes, I'd be in debt. Sorry that I'm just a college student and haven't started my path to riches yet.And no, the shrivalling dollar is probably why you can't get your sugar. Much as lots of people can no longer get their rice... because CHINA can't make a profit selling it here. WOW. When China can't afford to sell us RICE, we are doing something horribly wrong.I'd divide up 1825 a year to all the hippies here if they would keep all their conspiracy, the gov hates me, poor me I'm in dept, OMG the rain forest shit to themselves.Its one thing to suggest rediculous conspiracy theories about the government or our voyage to the moon, those hippie types truly are annoying. However, to disregard valid points in a discussion forum just makes you come off as closed minded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViperVette Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Actually my biggest problem right now is getting my trans fixed so I can stop having to borrow my ma's porsche to get to the golf course on a daily basis...However, my biggest concern is whether to elect the same old same old who will drive us god knows how much more in debt. Or to elect a virtual unkown with a very unpredictable outcome.. Its really a rough spot to be in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
