"This year's 1.42 trillion dollar deficit is just the beginning." katJesus. Well...were you whining about the trillion being spent on our two wars? We're you darkly predicting economic doom while a trillion was cut from the budget because of tax relief given to the 1% of our richest (who make more than the rest of us combined)? How about the deregulation of our financial industry? That happen on Obama's watch? The $850 billion dollar TARP bail-out happened before Obama was even elected (McCain was leading in the polls at the time). Medicare part D was enacted 2006 but never paid for.Now I'm not saying that I, troglaman, disagree with your gloomy outlook. And I'm not saying you aren't aware of the bullshit outlined above. You are rather oblique. But I can say with absolute certainty that the current administration did not put us where we are today.Is it reasonable to say that we've all been pretty much fucked by Wall Street? Are you saying, like dumbshit anon, that the free market really helped us all out and the answer to our current dilemma is to give them MORE money so we'll all get our own sparkle pony? Should we give the insurance people MORE money so they can fix the health care thing?What's the difference between paying higher premiums, higher interest, or higher taxes? The money is coming out of your pocket either way. I agree that we're fucked. But these problems didn't come up in the last 10 months. They came up years ago.Christ.You people are "Gorillas in the Myst, Part Two". No shit. Watch out for poachers.
