<!--INFOLINKS_ON-->While President Obama?s economic advisor Austin Goolsbee argued Sunday that a refusal by the Senate to increase the government?s debt ceiling (currently $14.3 trillion) would be ?catastrophic? and a sign of ?insanity,? that?s not the position the president has held in the past.

Here are Obama?s thoughts on the debt limit in 2006, when he voted against increasing the ceiling:

The Rhetoric:

The fact that we are here today to debate raising America?s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can?t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government?s reckless fiscal policies. ? Increasing America?s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ?the buck stops here. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.
+++++++++++++++++++

The Reality:

The latest posting today of the National Debt shows it has topped $14 trillion for the first time.

The U.S. Treasury website today reported that as of last Friday, the last day of 2010, the National Debt stood at $14,025,215,218,708.52.

It took just 7 months for the National Debt to increase from $13 trillion on June 1, 2010 to $14 trillion on Dec. 31. It also means the debt is fast approaching the statutory ceiling $14.294 trillion set by Congress and signed into law by President Obama last February.

It is all at another sports forum, which is a TOTAL SHIT HOLE !

20 + years now of fighting the "boogey man" and this ridiculous defense spending, black ops spends, off the books spending for the spooks and private contractors.

All of this is well over 50% of our spending.

Then we beg the Chinese for scratch, and then we beg for more.

We bail out 3rd world toilets time and time again when we have hungry and homeless here in America.

We have the dependents of troops that are deployed begging for food stamps, yet we have enough cabbage to send to Haiti ! FUCK THAT NOIZE !

We are on our way to being a 3rd world toilet ourselves. Scumbags like Madoff grins at the camera and goes to Club Fed, while his victims are walking around with their eyes on the ground looking for nickles on the ground.

Find out what the REAL unemployment numbers are. They are only going to increase exponentially.

If you oppose a policy by the Soetoro Admin., you are a Racist, SIMPLE ! It's and easy fall out, just watch these cheese dicks throw that charge out daily.

Now you have Boehner as the SOTH, yea, whatever :shrug: easy cheap shots because he is an emotional man.

Hey, when my time in the shit holes I was deployed to was over, I was quite emotional as well, and the same goes for many of my battle buddies. Does that make us a bunch of pussies ?

I really don't give a fuck what your answer is on that one.
