When we owe more than a year’s wages we are slaves to the government. Socialism made easy.

Long before that time, all the world’s debt will be forgiven by King Barry.
In Obamatopia, there will be no debt.
Barry will own everything.

Thanks Barack… ANOTHER Credit Rating Agency Downgrades US Economy
Breitbart reported:
Credit rating agency Egan Jones downgraded the United States Thursday on concern over the sustainability of public debt. Egan Jones is one of the most important ratings firms in the world; they lowered our credit level from AA+ to AA. The firm reduced America from AAA to AA+ in July 2011, just before Standard & Poor’s did the same.
The Black Hole sucking the life out of everyone and everything.

Somebody needs to rework that graph so I don’t use a half gallon of ink every time I post it on a gas pump.

Anyone who votes for the jug eared fool this fall (or ANY Dem) is f**king dead to me.

@Xavier.. LOL.

That graph shows that his money grab slows down, but if it keeps going at the same rate people will be owing $150k per person not $73k, but of course it is doubtful that any of that is sustainable anyway.

The debt is due to vast amounts of money leaving America for foreign lands where the people actually hate Americans.
Oblabber borrows billions from China and gives, gives, gives it straight to the obsolete United Nations. This money is never returned. It is given yearly and sometimes twice a year. It is never accounted for. All these dollars that taxpayers must pay back to China ends up in the pockets of the UN an organization that failed its charter for world peace. It may have been a decent idea 70 years ago but now it is completely unsustainable. The bulk of the money is called “membership fee” and it goes directly into the pockets of thugs, enemy nation reps and terrorist (about 34 known to belong to the members). Soon as our money stays here in America we will be out of debt and taxes can be cut considerably. Also, the number of people in our government need to be cut back and Muslims must be given free passage to leave America because they are unhappy here and plan to throw fits expressing their unhappiness.

“$73,000 per American.” Is that including all the “Americans” that are in America ILLEGALLY? Yeah, didn’t think so. That would disenfranchise the illegals…

If Obama wins this will double in 6 months.
And only the 48% that pay taxes will be contributing to the reduction.

Hey NYT! This is top of the fold stuff! Surely you’ll be….
what?…oh, never mind. Brian Williams will have a lead
story on NBC…….
Wooooo!!!!!
No worries about us missing the point about federal debt.
What-Hump Jay Car will explain how $73,000 per person is a good thing.
Uncle Baruch
How long can the Federal Reserve keep interest rates artificially low, that’s the question.
Pete (Detroit)
As long as they keep buying back their own debt (ie, inflating things – watch gas go even higher…)

I’m about ready to turn in my membership and move on to a more productive nation. Barry Soetoro can owe my share to the…? Barry’s world of debt is not for those who have no debt and own everything they have worked and paid taxes for. Now where does this imaginary debt come into my world? It comes from those who lie, cheat, and steal. And I’m not one of those, so welcome to the sovereign nation of the individual! Think of me as not of this world, and we’ll get along just fine.
