I been around quite a few years and didn't think I'd see this the day---and just the beginning

Canadian dollar likely to trump US ...

How did this occur?

The rhetoric-

Started in 09 with "era of responsiblty"--and continuing in 10 with "pay as go" :SIB

The reality--

Monthly Federal Budget Deficit Balloons to Record; Up 14% from 2009

WASHINGTON ? The government ran up the largest monthly deficit in history in February, keeping the flood of red ink on track to top last year's record for the full year.

The Treasury Department said Wednesday that the February deficit totaled $220.9 billion, 14 percent higher than the previous record set in February of last year.
The deficit through the first five months of this budget year totals $651.6 billion, 10.5 percent higher than a year ago.

The Obama administration is projecting that the deficit for the 2010 budget year will hit an all-time high of $1.56 trillion, surpassing last year's $1.4 trillion total. The administration is forecasting that the deficit will remain above $1 trillion in 2011, giving the country thrree straight years of $1 trillion-plus deficits

So the fall of the dollar started with Obama? :mj07:

What part of --
The Treasury Department said Wednesday that the February deficit totaled $220.9 billion, 14 percent higher than the previous record set in February of last year.
The deficit through the first five months of this budget year totals $651.6 billion, 10.5 percent higher than a year ago.

-did you fail to read--or is comprehennding the problem.

I was going to put up chart of loonie vs $ but if you can't figure out above--I know you'd be lost there.

On O -His parents were welfare whores with PHD's
--and O and wife were phds in 40's loaded with credit card debt and student loans--by his own admission-
-the fixer had to get him in his 1st house.


He running country same way he ran his persnal life--except now he's got the printing press and a "I'm Gumby Damit" attitude.

I'll dig up the CBO debt chart for you in the morning--its color coded and easier to understand. :)

Wayne: This has to be one of the dumbest threads you've ever started. Where the hell were you during the Bush administration when the rest of us were bitching about this due to the two wars we had no business in? Sometimes I wonder about you. You're blind allegiance to the right wing propoganda machine isn't flattering.

Actually Garry I commented on that situation often-if you'd like to do search.

My stance back in GW times and Iraq war was while some may be of opinion like yourself war was not worth it--the wars will come to conclusion and expenses diminish and deficit recovered--

While the cost liberals socialist programs--
will ALWAYS BE-- initially understated--ongoing--and escalating--

Now that I've answered your question I have a favor to ask--Could you revert back to pointed questions like you used to do--so they can be discussed--instead of this is "dumb thread" generalizations that Smurph and TU are famous for when they don't have a clue--and always end same way -- :talk: --:scared --:mj08: --kurby

You are so blinded by one party it is useless. Both parties suck, but your continued cock sucking of the GOP is amazing. Especially because they continue to fuck people like you over again and again. The most amazing this is the hours you spend defending them. Amazing.

Under a mask.
Have to agree that the dollar has been slipping for some time.To blame one administration is just wrong.

This country has been spiraling out of control spending wise for some time.IT IS NOTHING NEW.

O might be the icing on the cake.But to solely blame him for the GOVERNMENTS irresponsibilities makes you sound uninformed .

My issues aren't about parties TU--

They are about priciples
I am a conservative--war vet-business owner
who went to school on GI bill with no loans from anyone and believes we are responsible for our futures not others.


-so is common nature for me against the liberal social engineering (redistribution of wealth) --dogging our troops/recruiters and pandering to terrorists--I don't like tax and spend agenda.

It appears we have entirely diff principles,so not unusual we disagree and identify with diff political agenda's.

Is common nature for people to identify with people who share similiar backrounds and views and who's agenda's are beneficial to them as you do with obama.

On same token (per my priciples above) I hope you'll understand I have 0 in common with him.

While I have been understanding of much of what Obama and the dems have tried to accomplish, there is much of what is going on that bothers me. So far, IMO, he has been pretty on target with the biggest focuses and what he's tried to accomplish, and I'm interested to see where it goes moving forward.

I can tell you this, though. My support will be gone to the point of looking at the republican candidate (which I would do, regardless, but with unlikely support from an overall view) if he does not focus on getting spending under control and working on the deficit. I'm not saying I expect him to do it, but his last proclamation after healthcare was to focus on doing that. Discretionary spending, freeze on spending, cutting waste, etc. These, in my opinion, will be critical to the safety and security of our way of life moving forward, and if the dems don't prove to me they will do it, I may have to vote a different way in the next election.

I can tell you, that if Hillary ran against Obama in the next election cycle, I would vote for her.

You are changing the subject. Its not about Obama. Why do you blindly support the GOP? You are brainwashed. Do you really think they give a fuck about you?

Where did I say I like Obama? I just defend him against race attacks, which are plenty on this board.

While going thru my many pages of stuff to post for to today's action, I have Bulls and Bears on, (Fox News) and they are talking, arguing :shrug: about the financial and political meltdown in Greece. The Democratic Strategist was trying to make his case for a Keynesian Economic comeback :scared NO ! ! That's the crap that is taught in highschool that young mindsa are led to believe is so wounderful :mj07: and what we are trying to do right now to unscrew this mess we are in now. I am not an authority on Keynes' economic theorys, but try to implement 70 year old ideas into days spiralling economy won't work.

I like your principles DTB, disagree with most, but like them none the less because I understand your argument. Where I have an issue though, is in the hypocrisy.

You are a veteran who went to school on a GI Bill that was paid by taxes from the American Public. You don't owe anyone because it was given to you and you feel that you were entitled to it.

I understand that you served Our Country and will hold you as an honorable person in my books for your service. But you were paid for your service with tax payor money and that paycheck does not entitle you to a free education per your own principles. But before heading down that path, which is conservative in nature, I 100% support the GI Bill and have no problem that part of my tax dollars goes to educating the men and women who serve in Our Armed Services. I also have no problem that my tax dollars provide meals to the hungry.

I'd like to see your list that you are okay with using tax payor money for and what's not okay.
Roads
Military
Government Official salaries
Welfare
USDA
NASA

It has been my experience that the Conservative Principles are based on a person having an opportunity to do something (Their problem) instead of the Liberal Principle of lending a helping hand to do something (Our problem).

We all have the opportunity to grow up to be a doctor. It takes education and hours of hardwork. Every person born on this planet has that opportunity, but here's where you and I differ, not every person on this planet has the resources to accomplish this. It's a hundred yard dash with different starting points.

You see no difference between a 10 year old from a wealthy family who has a home computer, internet and paid tutor versus the 10 year old who lives in poverty, eats 4 times a week and wears the same clothes to school everyday.

I agree, they both have the opportunity to become doctors but one is more likely to succeed than the other. That means that the cycle will continue. Do some of the poverty stricken children make it, yes, and we know that because it's such a huge accomplishment that they make movies and news broadcasts about it.

And I don't think that you and I will ever agree on that and it damn near breaks my heart because it seems so simple to me.

Our forefathers thought that these States should be United, but it is becoming more and more obvious that we now live in a Divided State of America
