9/11 sort of blew a hole in the deficit issue, we were minding our own business and someone let us know they didn't like us. And because of a problem at every level of government called "pork barrel", a phenomenon that grows worse with seniority in office (why we need term limits) regardles sof pearty, that is why all these committee chair positions are so important. Oh yeah, a little hurricane disaster or two, that we are still paying for. Like Nagin's latest stunt of paying to send garbage to a new landfill at twice the cost to the federal government but giving something like a 20 or 30% kickback to New Orleans.

So provide up f*cking complaining. All you concern mongering fools opt for to do is stall economic improve with the aid of screaming "ZOMG THE DEFICIT", and that is placing out as a lot as piss people like me off.

All you opt for is for the prosperous Republicans and lobbyist CEOs to appreciate as lots funds as a danger. precise wager what? As of Nov 4, 2008, the INCOMPETENCE IS OVER.

The budget was fine 10 years ago because we had Bill Clinton who gave a damn about the people. The country was out of the red and in the black.
It was Bush who f*cked things up and now the country is in a ridiculous amount of debt.
