National debt topped $10 trill this week

There were no fireworks so a lot of people probably missed it. We even forgot to mention it here on The Swamp when it happened though we saw the reports. Anyway, on the last day of September, the national debt hit $10 trillion plus.

perfectly planned by the Bush Knights of Malta the last 28 years.

How fitting.

Yep. How many people out there STILL don't know all the factual dirt about the Bush Dynasty going back to the early 20th century? But you know how religious people are. They avoid the planting of "doubt" into their minds. They would rather live in denial and wait for Jesus.

Isnt it a lesson in itself how you can go from a surplus to such a big debt in only 8 years?

It should be a jailable offense to knock a President like Clinton for the work he did in office. I could care less about adultry at this point. He's human. Anybody is capable of adultry.

But not everyone is capable of creating a surplus and I refuse to believe that a President would do that without the intention of helping the people. That was a sincere thing to do. Thats why the Republicans never create surpluses because they dont care about you and I. They are truly the big liars and crooks. But the liars and crooks call the other party...liars and crooks.

The scum that slithers through the ditch denies itself.

Congress couldn't see a pattern here with how George Bush spends and WASTES money????? They don't see a pattern????? Oh, let's not let him go out out of office not putting the country into 700 billion dollars more in debt, for Gods' sake.

Please spare us the platitude. What was the opposition doing? When did the President of the U.S.A become a dictator? What effort did the other branches of government put in to stem his actions? Are they not the same ones hailing more debt put on the American people as great news? And we say we have democracy? Don't the two people running for president in support of this bailout too? Americans need a real leader. What they have now are a bunch of crooks who are going to be replaced by more crooks. Have u ever heard the song:'Get up, Stand up for your rights'. And we get up and ridicule other nations as authoritarian and undemocratic? We are a joke.

Welcome to the Democratic dream brought to you by Woodrow Wilson who turned the dollar into a paper fake manipulable by politicians. Even California's broke.

Your dollar today is worth about 4 cents compared to when the Fed was implemented.

Democrats want to soften the dollar even more, just keep printing money. They'll redistribute that income somehow; and we all know how: it doesn't matter if you've got one dollar that'll buy a whole grocery cart, or a hundred dollars that'll buy a half, if you don't know how to manage it, you stay broke. Democrats can't figure that out. They think if you just keep redistributing, the stupid poor will somehow become wealthy.
Bullshit.

Those who know, know. Those who don't, go broke no matter what.

So from the Democrats we have the Fed (fake money)

We have pot being illegal (yeah, that's working out real well)

We have Social Security and Medicare not tied to even the most conservative of markets like food or energy (The politicians are trustworthy? Lmfao!)

Now they want ALL your medicine handled by the Federal Gov with it's approval ratings in the single and teens digits)

And they decided in 1977 that proper loan management doesn't work, and all the poor people should get loans whether they could pay for them or not.

Barney Frank over the last two years, has done what to curb this bank disaster? It's been his, and Pelosi's watch. They've done N.O.T.H.I.N.G. but watch the markets burn down.

California, grand crown of "Democratic Liberalism" - the SEVENTH LARGEST ECONOMY ON EARTH:

BROKE. Begging for handouts from the government after driving business out, and ushering illegal immigrants in.

Don't look at Bush, he's just trying to act like a Democrat with his amnesty for aliens and no child left behind.
Oh yea the No child left behind is a product of what? The Department of Education, another Democrat invention that's sent our nation's schools into the sewer. Kids can't even read any more but they've got great self esteem. Oh that's right, no they don't. They maraud like animals, bashing and acting arrogant in their complete stupidity; ONE IN FOUR OF THEM HAS VENEREAL DISEASE.

Yeah those liberals have really shown us how it's done. How to catch aids and not be able to read the writing on the wall even when it's their own grafitti from a spray can.

After Bill Clinton and his Cabi
net left office in 2000 WE hard
working and diligent savers
build up a surplus of over $1
trillion dollars, with relati-
vely high tax commitments!
How can G.W. Bush and HIS
Cabinet burn through $11
trillion in 8 years? Thats
improbable! Where did the money
go? We have been getting oil
from the same sources as Bill
Clinton! The wars in Iraq,and
Afghanistan except for the
loss of mainly Humvees,21/2
tons trucks,helis,tanks during
the first March 2003 assault,
and some hazard duty extra
pay to U.S.troops, and enlist-
ment bonuses; Oh and the cost
of guided missiles onto Bagdhad
in March'03, and returning
wounded veterans rehabs;
wars or no wars U.S. Army,
Marine, Navy & Air Force personnel here stateside and
overseas{Sth.Korea; Germany,
Guam, Gantanamo...} would still
get paid even if only training!
At the rate of $10 billion
per month in Iraq for 5.5
years thats only $660 billions!
Bill Clinton between 1992 &
2000 had for all practical
purposes the same number of
Armed personnel at his dis-
posal! Where did the $11 tril-
lions moins $660 billions =
$10.34 trillions GO???

F.M.

Although Clinton did have a buget surplus for a couple of years(for many reasons some of which was fancy accounting)those surpluses never went towards the actual debt.You state that Clinton left us with a $1 trillion surplus and Bush burned trough $11 trillion in 8 years but that is not the case.When Clinton left office the debt was $5.7 trillion.
