US deficit reaching 477 biljon
 

wow, just reading this on teletext

a Congressional commission announced that the deficit surges to a new record high, from 374 biljon to 477 biljon this year.

Goddamn, that's almost twice the debt the Belgian state has made after 160 years :2 cents:

Its not at a record high percent of the GDP which is the important factor.

next our dollar will be like pecos.

thank bush and all the wars he started

will have to buy a hell of a lot of ribs,,,,

How do you think he's giving everyone the alleged "feel good" feeling right now?

The economy is great people he says. Yeh its always great when you can open the county's Amex Platinum card and go on a spending spree like there's no tomorrow.

We're like a wife that's pissed off and the husband says "Honey go shopping and have some fun. Here take the credit card and buy whatever you want."

The new Republican, Tax cut and spend while you increase the size of government

my credit card was like that in 1995.... =)

goddamn it should be spelled "billion" instead of "biljon" :glugglug

I agree with this gentleman.

Unless the US does something about the baby boomers claiming their benefits, the deficit will surge even higher.

wrong way of thinking:
unless the US does something about the deficit, it will surge even higher, when the baby boomers claim their benefits.

if these people have earned those benefits, they should get them

it's not that high because of them, solve the real problems

The problem is 1/4 of your tax must be going on the interest, and god forbid if anything happened in the US now, you'd be fucked into recession.

A SARS like desease, terrorism, serious BSE outbreak etc...

wait till we have to try to start paying that shit back in a few years! you can't borrow even from yourself without that money having to come from somewhere at some point. that's when our dollars will REALLY look like pesos...

Congress should sell their sigs. Problem solved.

:thumbsup good one

this dopey topic is like starting a thread saying, "oh no! Bill Gates charged 100,000.00 on his Amex! Is he mad???"

Its completely irrelevant unless you're too young to remember Reagan.

oh no, you again :1orglaugh

indeed, how much more will the dollar drop at that point?

The exchange rate is so poor right now for non US webmasters too..

yes, facts and history kinda make your arguments silly, no?

Always the same thing ... He could have a baseball bat up his ass and he would say it feels just fine...

Answers are like the one you get by pulling the cord on this doll: automatic:
