US Gov't Debt Analogy 1900 to the Year 2016             Go to Top

This is a clever 2 1/2 minute video comparing gov't deficit spending and debt accumulation from the year 1900 through 2016 (estimated), based on the Admin's own expectations and numbers.

This is an example that even and ins agent can understand.

The socialist agenda in many cases is to ruin the existing capitalist economy, but in steps so that it is not immediately obvious. "This is the mess we inherited and it is going to take some gigantic effort to undo what the past administration and the corrupt system left us." That could be FDR or Obama talking. They are interchangeable.

"Oops, that didn't work. We need to add some more regulation and increase spending/taxes, then it will work."

"Oops, that didn't work. We need to add some more regulation and increase spending/taxes, then it will work."

And so on. Look at all the proposed new regulations and new bureaucracies -essentially the same folks who didn't catch the problems before. And when they did catch the problems, Barney Frank, et al, stopped them.

Obamas got more than 3 years to go before he can get judged. This video did show me just how poorly Republican Presidents manage the budget and sre the real overspenders. Odds are overwhelmingly in a Democrats favor they are more likely to manage a budget better. But we will see. Nice to see a conservative admait the last 3 repub presidents havent been very good money managers.

Have to wait three years to judge? Where is that rule written? He has already pissed away so much on socialist stimulus plans that he doesnt have enough powder left to fund his health plan boondoggle at the level promised and both libs and conservatives will judge him plenty on that and his "stimulus" funds aren't doing squat for the economy. True, there is start of a recovery but that is true in Europe as well which rejected all of Obamas socialist interventions and did not piss away a generation of funding. Good luck getting people to wait three years to judge him on that.

Let's see now. We waited three years to judge Bush. Yup, no lib said a peep about the war or the lead up. They just laid back and said, "let's give it a chance, man."

The Republicans did squander a lot of money and increase the deficit. Have you forgotten that Barry was supposed to be about change- not quadrupling the debt. You still havent gotten to the point yet where Barry is responsible for anything all by himself?

Obummer is about handing out cash. When he has no money to hand out then he will be personally popular but his policies will not. We are beginning to see that with his health care plan. He was supported overwhelmingly in California but now he has told them that he has no money to hand out to them. How popular do you think that is going to be with libs there. He ramps up funding in Afghanistan, and fails to withdraw from Iraq and then tells California to eat cake in their time of need after they chanted his mantra when he needed them.

"Odds are overwhelmingly in a Democrats favor they are more likely to manage a budget better" The dems are in charge of the legislature in California. Nuff said.

Change you can believe in.
