  Let’s create a special account and we as American can send in a donation to the debt, only to be used for the debt. Oh wait a minute. That will just encourage the Feds to print more money. Then someone will lose the money. Then somehow some politician will wind up using it. No I don’t think I will take an increase in my taxes. When the goverment stops stealing, I will stop itemizing on my taxes. I’ll give more if I’m paying for old widows and the like. Well you know we need to leave it up to the church, it’s what they do best. Tithe, and get rid of welfare.

  Remember the day…
  January 3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee. The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy?
  BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES! Unemployment… to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac FIASCOES!
  Bush asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie & Freddie – starting in 2001 because it was financially risky for the US economy.
  And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac? BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA And who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie? BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA and the Democrat Congress So when someone tries to blame Bush, remind them of the FACTS.
  REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007…. THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!” Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democrat Party.
  Furthermore, the Democrats controlled the budget process for 2008 & 2009 as well as 2010 & 2011.
  In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases.
  For 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office.

  DO YOU REMEMBER JANUARY 3, 2007?
  This can, and probably will, be a real eye opener.
  This tells the story, why Bush was so bad at the end of his term …
  don’t just skim over this, it’s not very long, read it slowly and let it sink in. If in doubt, check it out!!!
  The day the democrats took over was not January 22nd 2009, it was actually January 3rd 2007 the day the Democrats took over the House of Representatives and the Senate, at the very start of the 110th Congress. The Democrat Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995.
  For those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything is “Bush’s Fault”, think about this:
  January 3rd, 2007 was the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress.
  At the time: The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77 The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5% The Unemployment rate was 4.6% George Bush’s Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB GROWTH
  Remember the day…
  January 3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee. The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy?
  BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES! Unemployment… to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac FIASCOES!

  I thought Romney was spot-on when he declared that too many citizens are depending on the government for support. We all know he wasn’t referring to those of us who worked their whole life and collect Social Security (which we paid in to). He was not referring to the invalid. He was referring to the many Obama followers who have made public assistance a lifestyle. I have heard young people who have grown up in a “welfare home” who can’t wait till they can get a check in their own name as and independent adult. Not a good American goal. Sorry for those who choose to misunderstand.
  Romney was right-on and god help us all if Obama gets another 4 years because he thinks he is so charming.

  Did we hear Letterman ask about the debt at “$10T”; then Obama replies “I don’t know”… If this Idiot-in-Chief won’t even say the debt amount; why does anyone think he’ll do anything to bring it down?

    Because he has produced a plan, of tax increases, and spending cuts. His plan would reduce the deficit over 3 Trillion in the next ten years. Of course Republicans will not support the plan, with its tax increases on the wealthy. So maybe you can tell me what Romney’s plan is?
