SCREW THE DEFICIT. SPEND BABY SPEND!

I'm tired of caring about the freaking deficit. Screw the deficit.

The deluded right wing fools that would have us believe tax cuts helped the economy grow are full of crap. They say Kennedy's, Reagan's and Bush's tax cuts led to prosperity. Bullshit. They all operated in a budget deficit. Big ass deficits to. Big deficits equal prosperity.

Now everyone in the Nation is all of a sudden concerned about the deficit. Not me anymore. Fuck it. I want bigger deficits. Big deficits have meant great prosperity to the wealthiest. The distribution of wealth is ridiculously slanted toward the wealthiest few. I want my share. If five percent of Americans can have 80% of the wealth with a ten trillion dollar deficit, just think how good me and the rest of the poor and middle class chumps can have it if the deficit is even bigger. Damn right I want some deficit trickle down. If it's good enough for Dick Cheney, it's good enough for me.

SPEND BABY SPEND!

You do realize that if we had no national debt, we would have hundreds of billions of dollars which go to interest now to use on other stuff, like maybe some liberal pet projects-------don't you? See, I have children and grandchildren. I hate to leave them debt on a personal level, I will pay for my own funeral. I also hate to leave their generation the debt of our generation. Just doesn't feel like a very fair thing to do, especially considering that there are fewer of them.

Hey Brother AA. If debt was good enough for Kennedy, Reagan and Bush, it's good enough for me. Shit man. We're hostage to all those that borrowed and loaned irresponsibly. We gotta go into more debt to keep these jokers, the housing industry and the credit market afloat. They're getting theirs. I want you and me to get ours Brother. The wealthiest prospered under a system of debt creation. Let's you and me get some of that man. Good times are ahead and the Chinese are paying the bills for us. Chaiman Mao. America's Banker. Whoopee! I'm getting a big flatscreen with Chinese money. What is everyone else getting?

The REAL reality is we piddled away the current debt on nothing more than frivolous annual spending, opportunistic wars overseas, and tax cuts for the wealthy.

Now our deficits are to actually attempt to restore some life back into a our economic system.

So, do we not incur any more deficits and leave our children with an economy of the level of a third world country or do we incur more deficits and hope to leave them an economy that has the potential to pay down the government debt in the future?

Its a gamble either way.

It's really to bad we can't recoup some of that lost wealth from those that stole it. Let's see, crooked politicians, greedy and crooked bankers and investors, home speculators, and the list goes on and on. Then do what many countries did to us after WW2, default on the loans we made to them. Wouldn't THAT piss off the Chinese and Saudis.

Just when I was having some good old fashioned sarcastic fun Tao says something radically rational.
At least Double A is on the right track. If it pisses off Chinese polluters and Saudi mysogynists I'm for it.
