   A dire prediction from ANandy world. Maybe it will, maybe it won’t but a “NO-NO” attiude definately won’t produce anything.

   They will, they did, they don’t understand what they are doing.

   Civil serfdom doesn’t exist yet, the debt does.

   Where were all the complaints about the debt run up from the Iraq war? I find it very ironic that we borrowed all this money from Communist Red China!

   there is truth in this toon and it started a long time ago — the war in Afghanistan and Iraq was run on credit; the U.S. ‘borrowed’ funds from Social Security a long time ago and has never replaced them back where they belonged; yes, more credit is being run up, and it is scary, but it is being done to try to stop us from sinking into a depression … the two reasons I cited above had no such rationale behind them …
   I believe all levels of government need to adjust to the new reality and cut budgets, eliminating things that are extraneous and non-productive … and there will be big disagreements on where those cuts should be made

   The “Bush tax cuts” increased tax revenues. Increasing taxes will lower tax revenues. The Bush/Obama bailout money has already exceeded all the money spent on the Iraq war. If the government had not “wasted” the money on Iraq, they would have wasted it on other things. Thank God Obama is going to stop spending on Pork (some day).

   gbw: wrong on both counts. Or all three counts. The Bush tax cuts did not increase government revenues. And it has been decisively shown that “trickle down” never does – it consolidates money in the hands of the richest, and increases the gap between rich and poor. In Reagan’s day, the top 1% owned 9% of America’s wealth. In 2007, it owned 22%. Thanks to Reagan and Bush tax cuts.
