The Tea Party people were the ones going right along with approving all of Bush's tax cut and war deficit budgets. NOW they are all up in arms because the national has so much debt.

Republicans just discovered debt in 2008 and insist none of it was their doing. Amazing!

The tea party is to be ignored and democrats embrace the ows. ?

Lets see:?

The primary stand of the tea party is they want to control spending. ?They represent the 53% that pay taxes.

The primary stand of the ows is to destroy the 53% that pay taxes. ?They represent the insane!

You don't have a clue what you're talking about. Head over to Fox and be with your people.

Sure just keep spending money we do not have, and soon we will be facing another downgrade of our credit rating like France is today. Obama is the first president to see our rating reduced from a AAA and soon it will go down more. What some folks do not get is this will hurt everyone with higher interests rates/etc. We need someone in office who understands we can keep up this spending of money we do not have.

Our economy is falling apart! and CBS Producers are ignoring their hero who is taking us off this cliff...Follow this story:

General Electric is planning to move its 115-year-old X-ray division from Waukesha, Wis., to Beijing. In addition to moving the headquarters, the company will invest $2 billion in China and train more than 65 engineers and create six research centers. This is the same GE that made $5.1 billion in the United States last year. but paid no taxes-the same company that employs more people overseas than it does in the united States.

So let me get this straight. President Obama appointed GE Chairman Jeffery Immelt to head his commission on job creation (job czar). Immelt is supposed to help create jobs. I guess the President forgot to tell him in which country he was supposed to be creating those jobs.

If this doesn't show you the total lack of leadership of this President, I don't know what does. Please pass this information to others and think about it before you buy a GE product.

AND CBS NEWS...One wonders why NBC News(GE Affiliate) continues to get any ratings at all?

repub, I'd say the same for the libs and D-e-m-o-c-retins. The libs and dems can't open their mouth without distorting some or all of the facts they cry about. Don't think you've cornered the market on intelligence and common sense. Far from it.

why don't conservatives want to pay for things we've already done? Why do they want us to DEFAULT so bad? Why can't they grasp the fact that raising the debt limit just covers our ***** on money we've ALREADY spent??? Why do Republicans claim the mantle of fiscal responsibility when their record shows nothing of the sort?

The budget in simple English:
Total tax revenue - $2,170,000,000,000
Federal Budget - $3,820,000,000,000
New debt - $1,650,000,000,000
National debt - $14,271,000,000,000
Announce budget cuts - $38,500,000,000

To turn this into a family budget just eliminate eight zeros:
Income - $21,700
Expenses - $38,200
New credit card debt - $16,500
Outstanding balance on credit card - $142,710
The budget cuts our politicians are proud of - $385

Blame it on Bush. Blame it on Obama. Blame it on Congress. It really doesn't matter, we have a serious problem. Throw them all out.

And those on the left keep spouting that the republicans don't want to pay for what we already spent... HHaaa haa... Insane ! the republicans want to stop overspending so we don't have to keep bumping into a ceiling that is there for a reason. We can't keep increasing it indefinitely. There are not against paying the bills, they are however against continued overspending.

"Under the terms of the so-called Budget Control Act enacted last year"

Don't forget which Republicans voted to put this in place last year. That's right, Republicans voted for this along side Democrats. Obama may have his signature on it but the current lot of Republicans and Democrats working together brought you this new limit.

does anyone read some of these extremely lengthy comments or those with stats without citing the source? that aside, no one should be surprised that obama loves to spend, and spend. the man spent one billion to overthrow qaddafi which benefited U.S. citizens not at all.
