Projected Federal Deficit
 

So, are we screwed or what?

Also, how is it possible to be off by $2.3 TRILLION?

Obama has a “credibility problem.”

One deals in reality, and the other in fantasy.

:(

Remember when they used to talk about the deficit being in the Millions. Then Billion became a common term. What comes after trillions that is easy to remember? As for him being off by $2.3 trillion he must not have had anyone near him to tell him what the teleprompter was saying.

Please express the error properly.

$2,300,000,000,000.00

With that amount of money you could buy a $200,000.00 house for some people--------ELEVEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND families. [this IS NOT a suggestion]

And that's not the budget, just the ERROR.

Expressed in $50,000 Cobra Replicas the "ERROR" comes to 46,000,000 COBRAS.

I leave it to you who have far greater numerical prowess than I......
 

BUTT.........but couldn't those rectal pustules down in Washington have taken the 9 or so TRILLION and given each and every American a COLOSSAL amount of tax-free cash? Screw a free house----give us the cash. It's our money after all. Screw the Chinese and future American generations----since you've legislatively done that already!!!!

What would "300 million into 9 trillion" work out to be, in terms of a per capita "refund"* check?

*by that, I mean the OTHER possible definition of the word!! Ar-ar-ar-r-ar-ar-ar.....

The fact is...
 

That the estimates are made with different assumptions....and in fact, they are both just estimates . The most likely senario is that the Gov will make a killing with the so called "bailout" loans as we always have. They are not loans (or giveaways) but convertable warrants that can be turned into common stock and sold on the markets. The Gov (we) are buying low and will be selling high ....Take a deep breath...take the dog for a walk...play catch with your grandkids ...watch march maddness....get a life...oh, and of course... have a nice day...

$30,000.00 for each man, woman, and child.

Bartruff1 has got some outrageous good brain destroying, smoke.

Dan.....I knew I could count on you.....
 

.......couldn't quite figure the other thing out----am we the "Gov"? There must be enuff hemp in some people's personal bongage to rig a clipper-ship! Ar-ar!

...otay, I'll take the $30K and run with it......

The most incredible thing is, I think that, even if we were to do this ($30K bit), future generations----who would be screwed beyond technicolor----would STILL vote Dumbocrat Liberal! They wouldn't have a clue as to whodunnit. They'd lapse back into their own brain-washed solution-------"the goddamned Republican conservatives did it"! So why bother with these brain-dead chattle? Put 'em through the rinse cycle, I say!

It uster be "Let's go get a Monica", now it's "Let's do a Madoff!" ar-ar-ar-ar-(cubed)

The typical household [if such does exist] of Man, Wife, and 2.3 kids = $129000.00.

But like the song said,
"Spend a trillion, bill the children."

Hey...you guys have quite a team...
 

Where's Curley ???

Uh.........
 

........would that be James Michael Curley?

Hempsters of the World, UNITE!

No, not that Curley
 

the other one..

We are up to 12 zeros in a trillion with quadrullion (15 zeros) next up possibly by the time Obama leaves office. I'm sort of looking forward to sextillion for some reason.....21 zeros - so, I'm thinking 21 years old.......probably wishful thinking within my lifespan....

Now, that's a keeper.....

The Government that IS $10,800,000,000,000.00 in DEBT, NOW. Has committed to spend another $9,000,000,000,000.00, and has long term obligations of another $12,000,000,000,000.00. That is just under $32,000,000,000,000.00, WITHOUT INTEREST, that they [WE] owe. Not including another bailout, or yearly operating "budgets" [sick jokes that they are]
This is the cabal of financial wizards that are going to make a 'killing' in the financial markets.
Like they did with Fannie & Freddie? Government businesses if there ever were such.
Or the massive profits they have realized from Farm Programs? Or the Post Office.
THESE are the people you think just made a brilliant financial coup?

It must be Geithners secret plan you are counting on. The Plan so Secret, He doesn't know what it is.
The Administration so transparent, they are invisible. Except for the "Stand Up Bullsh!tter", he is the most prolific but SMOOOTH liar I have had the displeasure to see or hear in my long, long life.
Today, the Stand Up BSer reiterated that we must:

1.]"Free ourselves from dependence on foreign oil."

2.]"Improve our Education systems."

3.]And reform Health Care."

The "PLAN" for #1 is take away $30 Billion annually in tax credits from DOMESTIC oil companies and GIVE it to 'research' of alternative energy sources.

THAT is the ENTIRE plan. Its too stupid to be called a joke.

The plan for #2 is the spend MUCH more money on education. The "inconvenient truth" is that we run first, second or third EACH year in per student spending, worldwide. Yet we are 'lucky' when we finish in the 20's in results. We DON'T need to spend more money, we need to DEMAND results from the system. [Teachers Unions are sure to love that!]

The two fold plan for # 3 is to give away money to computerize the entire health care system. My wife has a Masters in Health Care Finance and my son owns a $30 million dollar SAP consulting company. They and me, are just 3 of the 10's of thousands that have known for 3 decades that there are Billions to be made getting health care organized. And the field is still open to the FIRST performer.
The second part of His plan is to Nationalize the health care.

Dilbert's pointy haired boss comes up with much more well thought out plans than the 'Stand Up Bullsh!tter" and his merry band of lying incompetents.

Stern letter to follow!
