I'd rather be a moron than 200 billion in debt, but that's just me.

Unfortunately, our government is currently over 9 TRILLION dollars in debt, and yet simultaneously unilaterally invading other countries while cutting taxes.

 this is where things get tricky. The US government has 48.7 trillion dollars in the world bank yet we are 9 trillian in debt. Now the question is since we are the richest country in the world (it takes the 27 European nations to top us by 6 trillion.)

 

What does the government mean by debt? its a matter of that anything we spend we dont get even close to a 4th back.

I'll simplify it for you:  The FY2007 federal budget allocated $243.7 billion, or 9% of the total budget, towards paying off the interest of the national debt.  TOO MUCH. 

P.S.  I have no idea what you meant by your last sentence.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

I have the most epic death scene ever in VGChartz Mafia.  Thanks WordsofWisdom! 

Since the president of the US considers itself to be the leader of the world, annoying as hell, thanks to Bush, the world surely needs an understanding president, who doesn't only think about his own selfish matter. To be honest, I hope Hilary becomes president, for my own selfish reasons even though I don't give a rats about politics :P

For this comment only, he will never get my vote. Calling "people illegal in a country", "illegal aliens" ain't a very democratic thing to say.

Hey, I'm glad any politician is saying things that make sense to some people for once, but when I was introduced to the man, this is what he told me:

When I enter, I'll do my damndest to cut 150,000 government Jobs. At the same time as doing that, I'll remove an entire revenue stream to the government.

On one level, that's awesome for people who take home money, on the other hand, I find it hard to believe there will be any of those 150,000 government workers happy to vote in someone who wants to fire them. Or their families. An interesting theory, an enormous challenge to impliment, and suddenly GM may not seem like such a bad guy. Michigan be damned.



See Ya George.

At least following a comedians own jokes makes his death easier.

Yeah you can bet those 150.000 > people voting another candidate then.
