Wow..I think this article speaks the truth!

I believe that our president is deliberately trying to bankrupt the country. Once he tears it down he thinks he can rebuild it the way he thinks it should be. He's destroying the middle class and soon everyone will depend on the government. Then he'll have power. Another theory I came up with this morning is that our government is trying to prod us to the point where we get violent. They can then declare martial law--elections are suspended and everyone is controlled through military force. I'm a deficit hawk but it does no good.

I agree with the article as well and I agree with the comment that Obama is trying to tear us down to rebuild in his image. There will be no middle class, no "American Spirit", and no HOPE.

I am impressed with the term, deficit Peacock. Is that something that you came up with? I like it very much because it is a great descriptor. I do agree that we are doing a lot of things wrong, or rather, the government is doing a lot of crazy wrong things. Some problems can be blamed on previous administrations, but Mr. O is certainly doing his share as well.

The article just confirms what I have been seeing and saying about Obama since he started running for the Presidency. A "joke" that has been circulating about Obama is unfortunately being proven true. In case you haven't come across it yet - "Before Obama we had Bob Hope and Johnny Cash. With Obama, we have NO hope and NO cash!" What is really scary is the fact that there are still large numbers of people who believe what he is saying.

I definitely agree with the article. He is not concerned with the deficit or the national debt. He disregards it so blatantly and flippantly that it very well could be that he is intentionally trying to destroy our economy. It could be that he thinks if he does that he can declare emergency powers and enact whatever he sees fit "for the good of all", otherwise known as socialism or communism. If you look at the big picture, the recent drastic problems with our economy started a long time ago, with policies put in place during the Clinton administration. Bush inherited that but didn't do anything to correct it, indeed he made things worse. While he tried to enact some safeguards in the form of reining in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and their Las Vegas casino style money management, his efforts were thwarted by democrats in congress, such as Chris Dodd and Barney Frank, who were in cahoots with execs from these lending institutions and protected them from any oversight or regulation. The Bush administration did a good impression of the Democrat party with his record deficit spending, which proves it's both parties that are responsible for our situation in regards to the record debt and budget deficits. The problem now is that everybody that voted for Obama did so with the hope (and his promise) that he would change Washington and correct the course of the country. What he's actually doing is more of the same that Bush did, only a lot more of it. Our only hope is to vote 90% of congress out at the earliest opportunity, which is next November. We need to get rid of these career politicians that have been in there for most of their adult lives and are corrupt. I'm not an advocate of the Republican party, but we need to get more Republicans and true Independents into office if only to restore our checks and balances and end the one party control that we have right now. Then we need to vote people into office that will actually change Washington and make it work like our founding fathers originally intended. We need candidates that will run on a platform of reform and change to fix our government and if they don't want to do it, we find somebody else that will. That's really what the Tea Party movement is all about. Most people in this country are totally disgusted with our government, both parties, and want real change. So far, we're not getting it and there's not much hope of getting it under this administration.
