somebody posted that mccains spending is going to be so low, but how can this happen if he wants to stay in iraq
 
well he doesnt have somthing like 800 billion in new programs like Obama,

plus the thing that eats me alive is obama's 11 billion for "family's who purchased a home that was simply to large for their income"
 
Yo man Im not here to back up obama and debate politics, but its the banks fault for giving out loans which they knew people wouldnt be able to pay back. They are the biggest crooks in this country. Give out a doomed loan and then sell it off to a 3rd party.
 
no! it is the people's fault for buying a home that cost to much for what they could afford...

people need to take responsibility for there own life, and not look to the government to fix the problems they created by buying a home that cost to much.
 
Ok, America is one of the stupidest countries when it comes to financial matters. The fact of the matter is people love shit in this country. They have to have it no matter what! And unfortunately out capitalism system on crack allows people to live light years beyond there means! People are dumb man, what do you expect them to do! Its the fucking banks fault completely. Why do you think the assholes sell off their mortgages immediately?
 
Thank you, that's why I hate most welfare programs. My mom's family was on welfare for one year after her dad was killed, then my grandma took the initiative to finish school and become a registered nurse. She had 5 kids and no money and she managed.
 
Well, suppose we got out Iraq, and then cut defense spending a large portion, and refocused the money that would free up, and then tried to actually have a foreign policy that would promote others liking us as opposed to pushing others around for the sake of our interests and companies.

Oh no, that couldn't work. God forbid we stop spending so much on defense instead of diplomacy to prevent the need of the defense.

I am seriously ashamed to live here sometimes.
 
Also you neo con assholes always think a democrat(note backing up as I dont align with any party) is going to sink the country in to massive debt. Two words GEORGE BUSH! He has been viewed as conservative on fiscal social matters. Well look how well that worked out, biggest national debt in history.
 
im not talking about that,

my best friends dad, died last year in may, and his family is getting the help they need, which is great!!!!

im talking about the perpetual welfare state. from what i have heard about obama, and his direct quote (which i used in my other post) obama wants to help people who simply bought to big a house.

 
since when is it the governments responsibility to help you out on your house simply because you bought a house that you cant afford?
 
They're all going to spend all the money we have.

Either we spend it on war,

or we spend it on things that benefit us and the world.
 
You might want to consider how the U.S. economy works and the way in which millions of people foreclosing on their homes may affect you and the country you live in.
 
also mccain wants to increase the drug enforcement in america. does this mean narcotics agents are gonna start working for free?
 
.

funny how it's always the well-bred, well-fed people bitching about others' ambitions.

"just do something with your life!! it's so ez!!!!"
 
too bad 800 billion AINT SHIT COMPARED TO 2 TRILLION+ which is and would continue being spent in iraq, iran, afgahnistan, and pakistan.

plus i would rather a president help US instead of some fucking foreign country while bankrupting us
 
socialism's better then depression and starvation

if you deny that you're uneducated, or a spoiled brat
 
Dude, you are so right.. we could be best friends because, we definatly see eye to eye here.

if you want to blame some one else you can direct it to the bond rating agencies for giving sub prime stocked SIVs and mortgaged backed's double A and A ratings....

 
are we talking about China? old Russia?(soviet union) Cuba?

im pretty sure you just described these country's

enlighten me..
 
ok If you really want me to enlighten you. Those are all communist countries, or dictatorships

None of those as far as i know are socialist.

Canada is Socialist. There you're enlightened.
 
sorry i forgot to tell you. A dictatorship, communism, and socialism are 3 different things. Wiki them because you dont know.

derrrr
 
How old are you kid? did you even read what you just posted?

This is America and a capitalistic society why the hell would you want a socialistic society?

Please, tell me.
 
why you don't like fiscal responciblity, or lower taxes, or equil rights, or don't think people should be responsibility for their own life??

Ohh maybe you just want everything handed to you..
 
lets clear up a few things first, how old are you? im 18.

do you have any knowledge on what a free market economy is about..

want to know a interesting fact? the US and our big bad "free" economy donated more in the form of charity then any other country in the world..

"Americans give seven times more money than people in Germany and 14 times more than Italians give. We also volunteer more."

"America is a uniquely charitable country. So when you hear that "Americans are cheap," just remember: We gave $260 billion in charity last year. That's almost $900 for every man, woman, and child."

if this is true, then obama's the ticket. i'll no longer pay my mortgage or credit card, and spend all my money on heli-skiing and have the government bail me out.
 
what a great way to lose all credibility.

read about fiscal responsibility and it may help out your case of nausea
 
exactly, and they all pretty much had socialistic run economic programs (which failed horribly). so they kind of go hand in hand if you look at it from what you just said.

communism is socialism but not all socialism is communism.
 
"we will stay in Iraq 100 years if necessary" cost of the war per day 275 million woooooooohoooooooo financial responsibility, so when you signing up for the army?
 
ok thats great, i hope you lead by example and send extra money to the government..

our country is the most prosperous in the history of the world, we got here through capitalism...

the free market works, it has proven itself.....
 
o yeah better shut off your computer, thanks to evil capitalism that was invented..

better not take that tylenol next time you have a head-ac...

most cancer survivors would be dead,

better switch languages to German or Japaneses.

better ride a horse too skiing tomorrow.

 
giving back to the system? or never being rewarded in the first place?

given how messed up our medicare and social security systems are, i don't really see how much worse it would be if i kept a higher percentage of my wages and funded my own healthcare and retirement funds. oh wait, all our younger generations will have to anyways.
 
dude, we have free health care here in Canada and guess what its not that great. sure its free but you have to wait 5-10 hours for for service unless its life threatening, if you are terminally ill good luck getting good service.

I would much rather get taxed less and be free to choose how I spent my money then to be told by the government who will treat me and how I will be served.
 
too bad i never said i did want one. i just stated that it would be better then being in an economic depression such as in the thirties.
 
Blasmphemy! The government knows how to spend money better than you. In fact you will no longer earn wages, all your former earnings go straight to the coffers. They will provide you with goods and services as necessary. All your hopes and dreams are now worthless.
 
So you effectively changed the subject.

I never said americans are cheap or any of that

I dont give a shit about this charity crap you're trying to throw at me.

I never said capitalism was bad. stop putting words in my mouth.

also

You forgot to mention that a free market economy is often a rat race for money and people are willing to stop supporting the people at home to outsource and exploit another countries workers for much lower wages

For the buisnesses that stay at home and support their people, they face no breaks, and much lower profits than the ones that pack up and move their factories to china.

Capitalism also puts Most of the money into the fewest people, with little help for the others.

You never said one thing about a free market economy, so I think that your charity bullshit is you squirming in your pants because you dont know how to respond intelligently.

i would rather live in a socialist state then in an economic depression such as the one America is headed for at the moment. Thats all i said. I dont know where you got that other stuff from

Sorry i couldnt give two rats asses about how old you are, it doesnt make you smarter. I dont feel like comparing e-peens with you. Your age doesn't make you right, I could be 10, I could be 40, i could be 25, i could be 32.

If you actually prove a point on a relevant topic, which i highly doubt you will, come back and post again. Oh, and next time try not putting words in my mouth.
 
this I agree with you on. but unfortunately its the bigger companies with more lawyers and lobbyists that moved their factories, thus no pressure from either side of the aisle to get something done.

even if its made in Mexico, thats better than china. i'd rather have Mexico provided with more opportunities for workers, than china to get more money. maybe if all those US companies moved their factories to Mexico, then perhaps less illegal traffic across the border? an increase in jobs in Mexico surely would benefit both the US and Mexico.

 
With the current state of both of those systems, I'd have to agree with you. Both are headed to catastrophic failure within our generation.

However, I'm not for complete privatization. Face it, without governmental controls, companies will eventually screw the average American, because a companies main goal is profit. It cannot exist without it. In something like healthcare, you dont want decisions motivated by this logic. Besides that, while competition does make things relatively cheap, they'll never be as malleable and responsive to new policies as governmental controlled institutions.

Maybe our country isnt ready for universal healtcare, despite the success of it in many modern nations around the world. But one thing is true - the system is on the verge of collapse. Something needs to be done and needs to be done soon. Again, my advice - get a job right now that gives you health coverage or buy a policy ASAP.
