Debt ceiling breaches 17 Trillion!

[spearheadersarge]

Today saw the largest jump in the debt ceiling in history. $328B in one day. With that huge sum being added we will quickly be approaching 18T. We still have close to 5 months till Feb. deadline. For some perspective, the total Defense Department budget was about $650B. For the whole year. You have got to be kidding me. All Americans lost on Wed. Night!

It's okay, we can just print more money. The important thing is that we give out benefits to illegal aliens in need.

It's all Bush's fault!
The debt ceiling doesn't mean anything!
You don't understand the Federal budget and how it works!
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!

What could possibly go wrong?

Our true debt is more like 200 trillion with all the unsecured debts we have lined up over the next 20 years or so. Hows it make you feel knowing any unborn child you bring into the world is already $60, 000.00 in debt? I've had enough of Washington D.C. and our f**ked up representatives both democrats and republicans. It's time to stand up and rise against tyranny!

Well, now that he's edited his (d.kaufman) post, you (bogwalker) have it quoted, so it's still there. Maybe you can edit your post so he doesn't get in trouble for what he's changed it from.

Well, wherever this goes, it won't be good.

 

[spearheadersarge]

You got that right in more ways than one!
