"To lay taxes to provide for the general welfare of the United States, that is to say, "to lay taxes for the purpose of providing for the general welfare." For the laying of taxes is the power, and the general welfare the purpose for which the power is to be exercised. They are not to lay taxes ad libitum for any purpose they please; but only to pay the debts or provide for the welfare of the Union." --Thomas Jefferson

^^^ I have to say Uncle Buckie ... Clinton was the best salesman the left has ever produced, but the Obama machine is pretty damned close.

Like all salesmen who build sales on a presentation of sand (think Bernie Madoff), Obama's little house of horrors is about to come tumbling down.

Sales are built on emotion, and nothing else. That little dancing thing would do nothing but put a smile on americans face and release endorphins. Happiness would be the emotion related to Obama. Good sellers.

Fuck the corporations, they did this so did Reaganomics, by increasing foreign investments and outsourcing jobs and cheap labour elsewhere, America suffers, so does Canada. And Mexico, the continent's poorest nation might be headed for a civil war if they can't control the cartels down there. People seem to forget that when corporations up and leave they take those jobs and the base out of the country. Less spending, more social services. The US dollar is going to take a dive anyway, China holds the debts, or at least a good portion of it. The Federal Reserve is going to implode, and raising taxes is going to put a damper on everything. Gold has peaked. It's fuck-it time. Everything you buy is made in Asia. Think about it. When America stops buying cheap goods because they can no longer afford it, China, South Korea and Thailand will call in the markers, they can manufacture for just about anyone, and the corporations (thanks to Globalization) are entrenched everywhere except the North Pole.

The rich bastards get richer, the poor get weaker and the middle class will be extinct in 10 years, leaving the poor to do all the dirty work for the rich.

Ah well, fuck it all.

The WrapThe fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government can not pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, "the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. - Senator Barack H. Obama...March 2006

funny thing about this "debt limit" thing is it isn't so we can spend more. It is so we can pay bills Congress already racked up.

Heres an intersesting thought, LEARNING FROM THE PAST.
anyone ever heard of Strauss and Howe's book " Generations"

LOOK at this its the cycles in US HISTORY

Colonial Cycle ends with the Glorious revolution 1674-1700
Revolutionary cycle ends with the American revolution 1767-1791
Civil war cycle ends with the Civil war 1843-1859
world war cycle ends with world war 2 1925-1942
present cycle(Armageddon) world war 3 about to happen

every 80~ years without fail there is; prosperity, experimenting, collapse, then war
from what i have gathered; generation Y or millenniums (1982-2000) fix this financial fiasco. gen y was the most controlled generation(heliopter parents), and thus relys heavily on communication and team work. apperently in history this is the generation that fixes gen X's major F*** up (which include 7 financial falls, the highest recorded in history without the country falling apart (probably cuz were feared).

sadly history says it will be my generation(gen Y) that fights in the war to come, and people lets be serious there is a great war coming,
-the arab gov's are being overthrown,
-the uk and usa stationed 20,000 troops here at home "incase of a natural disaster"... a month later the uk/london has a massive riot. with like 100 dead??? thats more people dead in a day then our wars in a month right NOW!!!!!!!

when countries decide to un chain themselves from us and get there money backed by the euro or yen instead of the usd, or price of general living DOUBLES. tell me do you have $8 for milk, $1 for TOP ROMEN!!!!!!! i've watched ramen go from 11cents to 35cent~ where i live. if food is threatened here like that in the arab countries, we will rise and have an American revolution on our hands. this happened cuz we lost our credit rating

Market strategist Phil Dow "said he believes distinctions exist between the current market malaise" and the Great Depression. The Dow's fall of over 50% in 17 months is similar to a 54.7% fall in the Great Depression, followed by a total drop of 89% over the next 16 months. "It's very troubling if you have a mirror image," said Dow.[156] Floyd Norris, chief financial correspondent of The New York Times, wrote in a blog entry in March 2009 that the decline has not been a mirror image of the Great Depression
