Don’t they teach math at Harvard? Obviously Obama flunked the class or he was too busy getting high.

Can anyone say “debt trap”? It’s where you put a giant hole in the bottom of your boat when you have only a little bucket with which to bail.

madmath – yep, the veneer of a return on the vast sums of taxpayer monies being disbursed, always thin at best, is now non-existent.

Melissa – welcome!

Ray – made me chuckle. At least you’re not denying the situation.

Comon cons, it’s only paper. As Cheney and Wolfey the wit said, “RayGun proved, deficits don’t matter”

Largest deficits in human history, and what are we getting for it? NOTHING!!! At least with the other deficits we were getting a massive national defense, not to condone the massive spending, but as a country we were getting a return for our debt. Now we’re getting abosulutely nothing but future hyperinflation with this man.

Arby – you can’t and I don’t. Both parties are equally complicit in getting us to where we are today. To my mind, there are no good options from here, although one of my favorite writers on economics does see some slivers of hope:
