Does anybody even have a clue about the National Debt ?

[.... callchet ....]

Why no raise in taxes ? What was behind Cheney saying don't worry about deficits ? Sometime down the line the feces is really really going to hit the fan.

1. One thing is for damn sure..if people aren't working

and are losing homes and other assets they've worked for because of the loss of jobs, the deficit will never improve. The only way out of this mess is to get the economy going again and put proper regulations on the financial market so it works right too.

2. Deficits are pork for bankers.

A quarter trillion in interest payments every year...as far as the eye can see.

3. I can't even buy a clue

Until my stimulus check arrives.

4. It's like the Universe
