Maxing Out the National Debt Clock

I tried to get an idea of how much that really is.

1,521,000.00 for ever day of every year since the time of Christ. Now how does someone imagine that?

Does anyone have any idea as to where to start? yes I do. the first step should be to stop payments of SS and SSI or any social funds to those who have not paid their 40 quarters, stop payment to all those who are getting SSI because they are brain dead from doing drugs and now can't work, stop payment on welfare people who have kids every three years to assure their payment doesn't stop, stop payment of SSI to all foreigners who never did a darn thing for this country and yet because they step foot on our soil are getting $1400 a month, assure all those who are drawing disability falsely go to prison for life, clean dead row out this year, reduce all unnecessary government sponsored activities paid for with tax payer funds. That's just a few. I could go on and on about programs that need to be cut where the funds could be used to pay for medicaid, medicare and SS. It's time to close all points of entry into this country for the next 30 years, round up the illegals and send them home and make America the industrial nation it once was. The one world order and global economic must come to and end this year if we are to survive and don't want to be owned by China, Japan and Iran. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/tentrillion/

Read your own words, and you will find that when your guy spends it is OK, and when the other guy spends it is excessive. If Bush was too spend-happy, then Obama will make him a spend-happy midget by current calculations. What will you say if they have to put a 2 at the front of that debt clock? How long will you blame it on Bush? THIS Secretary of the Treasury authorized the AIG payments. This President does not give a hoot if you don't pay your taxes and you are his friend. This President is surging in Afghanistan. This President suspended ethics in campaign financing and inauguration spending. This Democratic Regime publishes bills 10 hours before the vote on them, (1,100 pages worth), supports them almost unanimously, and then points the finger everywhere else when mistakes are revealed. I do not care which party you come from, let's work toward an era of responsible government and ethical leadership. If you do not want lobbyists in your government, then do not hire them. If paying taxes is your patriotic duty, then let's not make excuses for top elected and appointed officials who "forgot" to pay their taxes.

Hey Bryan, need to check your facts pal...when Clinton was in office, they turned the debt clock OFF because it was receeding at such a rate, they couldn't keep up with it and it was off. Granted it wasn't erased but in was RECEEDING. And also genius, when Clinton left office there was a billion dollars in surplus. Just like you whiny, pansy ass, bitching, complaining Republicans who the Bush was Jesus Christ, he put us where we are today. Hell, if anybody listened to Obama, he himself said he wasn't going to fix the problems right away, he himself said it would take at least his first term in office, so 4 years to fix 8 years of screwups Bush made. Remember this, even the Republicans didn't like Bush, a 27% approval rating...lets see here hmmm...Bush had 55% of the votes in the 04 elections against Kerry...do the math people 45% of americans were democrats. Subtract 73 from 45 and what do you get = 28...thats 28% of Republicans who didnt agree with what Governor (thats the only post he held legally) Bush left us with. And his legacy...f--king us over....NICE JOB REPUBLICANS...quit complaining that your 'maverick' duo of McCain and Palin didnt win and thank GOD they aren't running things. A senior citizen and an airhead...wonderful duo, hell, Mexico would own us if those two were in office. So Bryan...CHECK YOUR FACTS!!!
