Welome to America (Golden Rainbow)

I'm from the US.
We totallly have it all
the beautiful cities and the richest person on Earth(Bill Gates)
We also have the strongest military in the world
I come from Atlanta Georgia wooooo!
It is probably snowing in the north
but down here we are just chilling in the sun

and in debt up to ur eyeballs...good ol' USA

The richest person on Earth is a Mexican.

the richest person in the earth is bill gates

the only reason were in dept is becase of dumb George bush spending all our money on war supplies

Sure, blame it on George Bush. It has nothing to do with decades of atrociously short-sighted budgeting and statist economic policy.

are you from the US

The country with the highest ratio of spammers per capita.

cos > spam > laguna

No Scarlet is a french wannabe, they rejected his application for citizenship based on his uber lameness. Even America won't be shamed by the likes of hes pansy arse. He learned french in university and has been obsessed ever since. The majority of the US deficit is the direct result of 2 wars one perceived necessary and the other just a can of bullshite that exploded our debt. The great thing about facts is that they can be checked or proven. Check them and prove us wrong, if you can...Scarlet.

Both parties in the USA are to blame for the high debt.

More important did my karaoke bill get passed in the house?

When did I learn French?

Actually, Wendy doesn't know that the war spending is not counted as part of the budgeted expenses. Therefore, it is impossible for it to be a factor in the budget deficit. The great thing about ignorance is that it's readily apparent.

Yeah, great logic moron...


You aren't a politician, don't confuse yourself by trying to reason like one. Money, however spent on war or whatever it is the same shite. Debt, no matter how created is the same shite... the bill collector wants his money regardless. You'll need to be more clever to get that over on me, dust yourself off and try again.

Was that your "I'm so smart and you're so stupid", routine? Phailbot you are.

You excuse the facts and replace it with useless information... way to deflect. I'm still waiting for some Facts

I won't hold my breath...

Maestro, stick to Karaoke... you are the most ill informed naive +40 year old I know. You think Karaoke is ? Macho ? No one including myself should be surprised...

Oh, look. I found a table. The wars would account for only a portion of the third category. What do you suppose the rest of this is?

Facts seem to indicate that most of the additions to the debt were not war.

I found another page.

In summary, projections show that the federal budget is on a path that is fiscally unsustainable, in large part because of growth in spending for Medicare and Medicaid.<!-/Quote-!>

2 wars in the last 8-10 years account for a Third of the debt compared to all the rest of the debt accumulated in US history. And this is your supporting fact? Can you be this dense? Or do you presume everyone else is?

Lets not even start on the bush tax cuts. You know the ones before the new tax bill.

Jebus H. Christmas...

You clearly can't do math.

The table I provided displayed that the wars account for a portion of the debt added in 2008 whose total was $379B. Another portion of this same section was the Economic Stimulus of that year which accounted for $152B. 379 - 152 = $227B. This means that only a maximum of about 20% of the added debt of that year was on account of the wars. This would mean that over 80% of the debt added that year was not a result of the wars.

In any case, the total spending for both wars amounts to $1.09T. [source] The current US debt is $13.8T. [source] As you can see, this is clearly not a third. Now, tell me . . . what do you suppose the other debt is from?

Since Scarlot thinks we are dumb...(Remind you, NYT is very center right and 'pro-conservative'\

Remember those facts. I misread what you said or you later edited and changed it. I'll accept either view. However, I can add very well although arithmetic I find very burdensome and boring. I'd rather research the diligence of another number cruncher and shove it down your throat. I'll post more Factual information.

okay Can you say 1/3? Scarlet states: The current US debt is $13.8T. Okay fair. With no fanfare and little notice, the national debt has grown by more than $4 trillion during George W. Bush's presidency.

more than 4Trillion is say about 1/3 of 13.8T give or take no? Okay I'll be fair, ever so slightly under 1/3.

Interesting how that happened in the last 8 years, and accounts for just about 1/3 of the TOTAL current Debt.

Do I have to keep going?
