I won't bother clicking because I have heard that the Daily Mail is a shit paper from UK people, but anyway I wish people would tie their fucking dogs to the inside of their own homes so I don't have to hear the fuckin thing.

Actually this is a sad story. Makes you wonder why this world is so unfair.

Thanks to Obama, my kid that's not even born yet owes that kid $30k.

GRITS!

Bullshit.  Fucking liars.  Despite their claims, the budgets of the republican administrations have consistently run higher deficits than those of the democrats since the '70's, and Clinton even balanced the budget.  Bush's handlers, the military industrial complex, dug this fucking hole.

Fuck the deficit! We're talking about the debt. Both parties consistently avoid that issue and pretend it doesn't exist. The deficit is nothing more than just a buzz to get voters.

>>7
The debt comes from the deficits.

>>6
So, there's nothing wrong with borrowing as much money as we are, as long as we don't use it for the military?

>>8
The debt comes from endless borrowing from foreign nations and printing up phantom money out of thin air. Talking about the deficit is just trying to grab at voters to achieve political gain. I want someone who will strike right at the root of the problem, not its result.

>>9
Hell no.  I didn't say that.  But that's another issue.
>>10
Yeah, endless borrowing from foreign nations and printing up phantom money out of thin air, to pay for the deficits.
That is the root of the problem.  Expenditures that exceed revenue.

>>11
Exactly, but the deficit is just a talking point. It still ignores the root of the problem. If we didn't print up phantom money out of thin air and borrow endlessly from foreign nations there wouldn't be a deficit in the first place! It's nothing more than an empty platitude that ambitious politicians use for political gain.

This is getting to be a chicken and egg thing, but the bottom line is that you can't blame your credit card for your debt.  You have to stop spending more than you have.  By balancing income and expenditures.  It's not a political talking point, it's basic accounting.  I hear what you're saying, and it's true that we've heard it so much it's become background noise, but that doesn't make it any less true.  What's really blowing my mind is that it seems that somehow you've become convinced that it's not true.  If spending more than we have isn't the root of the problem, what is?  You claim that we print up phantom money out of thin air and borrow endlessly from foreign nations, but don't think it's to cover budget shortfalls?  Again:  You can't blame the credit card.  You might disagree and think the credit card is the problem, and propose that we should cut it up, but I think that would be foolish and short sighted.  That's what deadbeats who have to go to counseling centers do.  Our government needs flexibility so it can invest when it needs to.  The focus needs to be on wise investment, manageable debt, and a balanced budget.  Of course you may argue that we are the deadbeat who needs to cut up the credit card, and I'll tell you a little secret, I agree, but I also understand that that can't happen within the context of our current economic framework.  And that's the real ugly truth.  It's all empty platitudes, Americas' swirling around the bowl, and there's not a God damned thing anybody can do about it, short of us re-constituting ourselves as a society, and rededicating ourselves to something other than fucking money.  Remember freedom?

I also see it as a rice thing. Poor people have debt cards?
