JohnRich 4 #1 April 28, 2009 News:Treasury needs record $361B April-June borrowing The Treasury Department said Monday it will need to borrow $361 billion in the current April-June quarter, a record amount for that period. (The $361 billion estimate for borrowing this quarter compared with borrowing needs of just $13 billion in the year-ago period.) It's the third straight quarter the government's borrowing needs have set records for those periods. Treasury also estimated it will need to borrow $515 billion in the July-September quarter. The administration is projecting the federal deficit for the entire budget year ending Sept. 30, will total a record $1.75 trillion. A deficit at that level would nearly quadruple the previous record of $454.8 billion set last year...Source: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090427/ap_on_bi_go_ec_fi/us_treasury_borrowing Go, Obama, go!

Instead he's just copying Bush, and doing it even worse. Doesn't that bother you Obamites? If you think it was bad for Bush to do, now Obama is doing it even worse, so, can you link to the posts where you decried Obama for setting spending records?

wmw999 2,171 #15 April 28, 2009 Quotein other words individual votes on each item.There's a lot to like in that idea, but the very size of things means that there are just too many frickin' items for them to vote on them one at a time. We've gone too far in the "everything" bill direction, but we really can't have them vote on each and every little thing either.

How many would you send to jail? All of them? >first send home anyone that had a criminal record So let me get this straight. You'd pick up an illegal alien and check his background - and if it was clean you'd let him stay? How would you check his background? Where would you put him if you couldn't find anything on him? And suppose he was supporting himself by working illegally on a farm? Would you then allow him to stay in the US to continue breaking the law? >anything that couldn't pass without being tucked in a bill. in other words >individual votes on each item.

Can you link to the posts that you decried Bush for setting spending records. They were under a "republican" president. Lets remember that the house was democrat controlled under bush. In addition, if bush did it does that make it okay for obama? Bush was a problem too! He took us to socialism and destruction in a nice car while obama is taking us there in an SR71! Besides all that obama said he was going to bring change right! Well, if bush was putting us into debt how is putting us into more debt change? Fine, blame the economy on bush. I do....but blame obama for digging he hole a thousand times deeper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amazing that it takes more than a whole calendar quarter to clean up the mess made over 8 years of irresponsible fiscal policies. And everyone knows the only way to fix irresponsible fiscal policy is with an increase in irresponsible fiscal policy."Barack Obama will reform federal contracting and reduce the number of contractors, saving $40 billion a year." -- Obama's "The Change We Need In Washington" "The dirty little secret is that we're growing government," McCaskill, D-Mo., said April 23 on MSNBC. "Nobody wants to say they're hiring new government employees, so we've just done $500 billion in contracting and hired people through contracts. It's a mess." "I will also go through the federal budget, line by line, eliminating programs that no longer work and making the ones we do need work better and cost less..." -- Denver AUGUST 28, 2008 "Obama will reinstate pay-as-you-go (PAYGO) budget rules, so that new spending or tax cuts are paid for by spending cuts or new revenue elsewhere." -- Obama's Blueprint for Change The $787 billion stimulus signed by Obama was drafted outside PAYGO rules at his direction. The Congressional Budget Office estimates it will increase the 2009 deficit by $185 billion, the 2010 deficit by $399 billion, and the 2011 deficit by $134 billion.

This is the same sort of vague, useless crap I see when I asked the gun controllers HOW they're going to stop bad and crazy people from getting guns without taking away rights. For example, you want to send all illegals home, and cut the spending 20%. Yeah, that will work great. Blaming the Obama Administration for the deficit requires glossing over the events of the entire Fall, and saying just cut spending and pushing those bad people is exactly the sort of leadership we have with the past administration. I don't know if Jesus himself could fix this mess to your satisfaction. Odds are, Obama will fail and will not be reelected. Same would have happened with McCain (presuming he didn't drop dead for Queen Palin). Clinton entered in similar conditions, though not so dire. It wasn't till near the end of his first term that the upward trajectory began. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
