Financial Bailout Plan The Primary Culprit In Record-Setting Debt Accumulation

Why would people vote Democrat for Senate?

Democratic Senators are violently opposed to a Balanced Budget Amendment.

I plan to vote Democrat for president. We''ve seen that a Republican monopoly causes them to forget all about a Balanced Budget Amendment.

Voting Dem for Senate is defeatism. It''s saying we give up. We can''t handle reality. We can''t pay our bills.

No one will enjoy the consequences of reckless debt. The first consequence will most likely be higher taxes. Higher taxes lead to higher unemployment.

Vote Dem for president until Republicans get a Balanced Budget Amendment through Congress.

No matter who wins this election, RepubliCONs Bush (the idiot) & Cheney (the war profiteer!) are still performing treason against America''s present and future...

Iamdemocrat, we can all use da Google and internet machine. Mine took me to the Honolulu Star Bulletin, where it says that today (11/01/08), Martin was denied access to the birth certificate - by no less than the Hawaii Supreme Court. He''s not a relative, and he''s not Barak, so he has NO RIGHT to see it. A day late, as usual. Probably NOT a dem, I can bet. Probably just a Troll that sees the handwriting on the wall. Poor baby. Next time, preddle this S*** on a site that laps this stuff up like candy.

iamdemocrat, you are a day late, I think. According to the Honolulu Star Bulletin TODAY, the Hawaii State Supreme Court refused to hear the case, and denied the request to see the birth cert. Only the person can request it, or a close relative. Nice try feeding us false info. As it turns out, we know how to use the internet machine too.

The five hundred billion came from the US Treasury. GW Bush didn''t need Congress to withdraw that money and spend it as he saw fit. He silently withdrew it while crying WOLF! This money is on top of the seven hundred billion bailout bill Congress passed.

I just finished watching a 45 minute video that''s on the net called "Money as Debt" put out by a Canadian group (ottawafro ?) that explains our current situation the BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN or read.

It''s well worth the search and watching as it simply explains how the monetary system has been working and doesn''t really rant or accuse but does show how things work and the possible pitfalls - one of which we are NOW facing - and the video was made in 2006.

SMART presenters.

As it stands now I''m hearing about the planned PROTESTS on Nov 22 at all the federal reserve locations to push for changes to END the Fed and alter the abuses that apparently are now ENDEMIC throughout this interconnected world system under the PRIVATE CONTROL of a TINY FEW.

It''s disconcerting that so many people are SO CLUELESS about their indentured servitude and easily evaporated "investments".

Although recent events just MIGHT motivate more to take a CLOSER LOOK at what''s actually "behind the curtain".

Unquestioning FAITH might be OK concerning religious ideals but placing such UNQUESTIONING FAITH on fallible humans that CLAIM (financial) EXPERTISE has lead to countless tragedies.

Something to be proud of...
Great job GW
Let''s give more bailout money to corporations so it can ''trickle'' back down to us average Americans.

Lock them up...I think this is called robbery.
Throw away the key!!!

Remember that the reported deficit is a cash-based budget deficit. It is not the actual, accrual-based deficit, which has been running at least half again as much as the reported budget deficit.

Eighty percent of our current national debt was run up by jut three Republican presidents: Reagan, Bush I and Bush II. The interest payments on this debt took over 25% of the Operating Budget in 2007 and will take an even larger chunk out of the 2008 budget.

Supporters of the cut-your-taxes-and-government-spending-talking Republicans need to take a close look at the Republican record. Historically Republicans simply borrow and spend and run up monstrous commitments to investors.

donbl1 said: "The Democratic Congress of the last two years will have increased the debt by $2T. "

Who cut taxes, dipsh(t?

You want to rewrite history? Try not to choose history the rest of us have lived through.

iamdemocrat said: "Obama has brazenly been lying to the American people. "We just lobbed a grenade into the final weekend of the presidential campaign," says Andy."

Ok, there''s desperate and then there''s just wildly desperate. Right now, you are officially funny, iamdemocrat. I''d laugh, but I pity you instead.
