		<description><![CDATA[The national debt increased by $1.369 trillion during FY 2012. Not the $1.1 trillion quoted here. Don&#039;t believe anyone about debt or deficit, even conservatives, because they are quoting the BS which is all-pervasive.  
 
Go to the US Treasury website feature &quot;Debt to the Penny&quot; and look up the debt on exact dates, and do your own math to find out the borrowing in any given fiscal year. BTW, the amount borrowed in FY 2009 was $1.796 trillion, in 2010 $1.690 trillion, and 2011 $1.179. Not the lower figures also quoted in this article. So the borrowing for this year increased $180 from last FY.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think Obama wants the Bush cuts to expire. The tax on the rich will only bring in about 5% of the deficit. He needs to tax the middle class but he doesn&#039;t have the guts to say so. He is playing hardball with the Republicans because he wants to blame them when the Bush cuts expire on everyone. He gets his tax increases on everyone and blames it on the Republicans.  
 
Boehner should call him on it. &lt;b&gt;Obama needs and wants the Bush tax cuts to expire on everyone.&lt;/b&gt; Let him deny it and then explain how the puny revenue from the rich solves the funding problem. Make him look stupid ... accuse him of wanting to tax the middle class and doing everything possible to avoid extending the Bush tax cuts. To argue economics ... accuse Obama of insuring tax increases on the middle class ... he needs it and wants it. Period. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Leading Republicans are apparently too interested in keeping their jobs.  Otherwise, they wouldn&#039;t blink when playing chicken with the Debt Ceiling.  Along with Civilus Defendus suggestion, they simply need to block any increase in the limit.  That would mandate living within our income, meaning a huge cut in spending. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The House holds the purse strings - USE THEM. Hey, Zero, bring me itemized $500B per year reductions or we start defunding government employees, starting with everyone you have hired in 4 years. Confiscating all the &quot;rich folks&quot; wealth will only destroy America. Oh, now I see your vision..

		<description><![CDATA[Everyone here has a working encephalon, i.e., a brain. If we didn&#039;t we&#039;d be unable to write anything here, much less breathe, move, etc. As an R.N., you probably know about anencephalic babies. They don&#039;t live long.  
 
Maybe you mean &quot;cerebrum,&quot; the thinking part of the brain.  
 
Gotta watch those big words.  
 
On the issue of how &quot;entitled&quot; we are to the Social Security money we salted away all those years in obedience to FICA tax requirements, see the U.S. Supreme Court case of Flemming v. Nestor (1960). Specifically, you don&#039;t have either a contract right or a property right to that money you put into Social Security. Once you pay the money, the government can do whatever it wants with it, including icing you out of Social Security and they don&#039;t have to give the money back. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was curious  about how many people who follow FPM think that our President is irresponsible when it comes to the budget and taxation.  Now you all know where I stand, and I pay taxes, but I can&#039;t stand this hypocrite. 
He should be abiding by a budget, but he and his buddies, i.e. Harry Reid, et al can&#039;t find the time to submit one. Now I would say that is criminal behavior. Sometimes the Republicans aren&#039;t much better, but at least they have a budget. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Patron, I can only respond to the parts you seemed to aim at me. 
 
I was explaining entitlements and nothing more.  Social Security was raided by LBJ a democrat that loved to spend everyone else&#039;s money.  But you earn your benefits by what you pay in. It&#039;s many things, but not a classic example for entitlements. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No lock box. Democrats raided that years ago for welfare spending. Treasury states that Social Security in no way is a personal savings account, but a tax and spend state welfare program. Medicare is the same and the tax rates do not reflect the ever increasing amount of money it pays out. 
 
The housing bubble, and the tech bubble before that carried a lot of dead weight in government waste. Those popped, new ones for energy and medicine have been over regulated by the Democrats, and now they just run debt to keep their scams going.  
 
&quot;I eventually lost due to bank &amp; mortgage ponzi schemes. &quot; 
I highly doubt tat happened. It would happen if you took a low money down adjustable rate, and left the house in the middle of foreclosure. The DoJ has mortgage refinance and there is bankruptcy protection. 
 
Even still, Barney Frank and Chris Dodd oversaw the fraud on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for years, and passed a bill that put a larger share of the money into too big too fail. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Entitlements are programs that are paying money out without any way to collect funds to begin with. 
 
Social Security had a lock box with a trust fund, so it&#039;s not an entitlement.  Same with Medicare, since it&#039;s collected from payroll and put away for spending later. 
 
On foreign aid, that&#039;s a whole big can of worms an entire thread could address much better than just one comment. 
 
And as for Obama, I &#039;didn&#039;t like&#039; Clinton.  But at least I didn&#039;t think he was a traitor that wanted to bring down the country into collapse.  With our marxist president of muslim heritage It looks like he might. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The only winner in this debacle will be the Popular Front politics that has joined &quot;anti-imperialists&quot; and &quot;antifascists&quot; in the New Deal relalignment.

		<description><![CDATA[Hmmm, you seem to be the only person with a working encephalon on this HATE site Roger.  Your comments come from reality/common sense rather than EMOTION and delusion about the US economy. 
 
What in the HAYell are &quot;entitlements&quot; supposed to be anyway? 
If they are referring to Social Security, then I don&#039;t call that an entitlement but the contract that I signed with the US government when I worked THREE JOBS to support my family and they diligently took taxes without me looking for LOOPHOLES other than work uniforms and the house I eventually lost due to bank &amp; mortgage ponzi schemes. 
One &quot;entitlement&quot; they can eliminate IMNSHO, is the billions in aide to the Middle East - including Israel - since they have a tendency to backstab the USA right after they get the money, then thumb their noses at us until next year. 
What say you AdinaK?  Think that would help the US economy if we didn&#039;t give billions to Israel, Egypt, etc. for a couple of years?   At least while Obama is POTUS anyway, since you don&#039;t like him anyway....ROTFL!!! ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[All of what&#039;s said in the commentary to the contrary notwithstanding, it&#039;s the Republican Party that&#039;s going to get the blame for the country going over the &quot;fiscal cliff.&quot; The Obama administration and the MSM are going to push that spin on things, and the majority of people are going to believe it.  Furthermore, that&#039;s what&#039;s going to go into the history books. 
 
I don&#039;t know if the Republican Party is finished, but it&#039;s certainly in for a period in the wilderness at minimum.  
 
If Republicans want to win elections, they&#039;d better come up with a political theory that the majority of the people can align themselves with, else they&#039;re going to continue losing. If the party can&#039;t do that, they&#039;re going to disappear.  
 
I can&#039;t believe that, with the nation on the verge of what&#039;s been characterized as a financial crisis that could plunge us into another three years of recession, Congress has gone on Christmas vacation. I can&#039;t comprehend that; what kind of minds do these people have? And WE ELECTED THESE WORTHLESS CLOWNS!!!! AND PAY THEM FOR SOME MYSTERIOUS REASON!!! Why didn&#039;t they attend to this threat a year ago? They certainly knew it was coming. Why aren&#039;t the Republicans staying in Washington and making a fuss about the Democrats abdicating their responsibilities?  
 
AND WHERE&#039;S THE DAMN BUDGET!!!! ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is NO way out of the hole this spending corrupt government has gotten into.   
 
how long is &quot;just&quot; 1 Trillions seconds = 31,688.7 YEARS 
 
The &quot;cliff&quot; is imaginary and illusion a political tool, a sound bite.  We are so far gone it boggles even the educated mind.  The average person does not even come close to understanding what&#039;s been done. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;The House has already passed legislation to stop all of the January 1 tax rate increases and replace the sequester with responsible spending cuts that will begin to address our nation&#039;s crippling debt.&quot; (Press Release,  Boehner, Dec 20, 2012) 
 
Hard to believe Boner actually did anything so sensible. He&#039;s certainly not emphasizing it much. But that&#039;s the way to go. Attach it to everything sent to the Senate and force the Dems to keep stopping the tax decrease. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Boehner deserves the blame for this. 
 
He knew what Obama wanted and allowed the borrowing limit increase knowing all this was a possibility. 
 
Boehner is a fool, and needs to resign in disgrace.  Failure is not an option where I come from, and if it is where he&#039;s from he needs to go back home. ]]></description>
