Give it a rest Robby. Even your hero BHO has given up his “The sky is falling routine”.
If that guy represents the U.S. governments debt spending, then he should’ve only had his hair trimmed a little.

Please note that he’s all there, except for a tiny slice missing from the middle.
President Obama has said he’ll have to prioritise. So the most violent criminals must be released so the prisons will have the resources to keep those heinous perpetrators of non-violent crimes incarcerated. The full TSA screenings must still be performed, but by a single, elderly, retired guy on half-pay, so you’ll have to get to the airport a couple of weeks before your flight.
A sequester cuts the good as well as the bad, and so is the worst way to cut government spending. Except for the alternatives, where the decision makers work very hard to make sure all the graft and annoyances are preserved, and everything else gets cut.

The ‘body’ of the nation is fine and striving to move forward It’s what’s between the ears that is missing. The Administration and Legislature are the “brains” of our nation and the body reacts to the mental signals it sends, or has been the case over the last decade, fails to send. They cannot hear their electorate calling for action; they don’t see the harm they are doing to their nation; they cannot feel the pain of citizens; they don’t smell the stink they’re raising among neighbors….they can only taste the money that keeps them in power.

I think we can add in the cancer of megacorp ownership of the media. The fourth estate has become corrupted with too much politically focused pathology…

Obama has been decreasing the deficit, in that he himself has had lowered the amount spent than any recent president. it’s all the interest compounding that makes it seem so big. but if he cuts social security and medicare, these are things the people pay into on each paycheck, then , like maybe homeless, he is robbing people, letting the needy get worse,and the job loss from to much cutting too fast will possibly put us into q new recession.
Not saying all the cheating (which hurts the deserving, truely needy) but Doctors cheat, hospitals cheat and the higher on the food chain the more cheating they can get away with.

Absolutely David. An hour of reading about the parent companies of news organizations can make one very cynical if you let it.
Thank you for the excellent addendum.

“A-a-a-a-and the stock market hits an all time high as Obama repairs all of Bush’s damage.”
The credit goes to Ben Behrnanki Doc. His easy money policy is responsible for the acceleration of the markets. Obama has nothing to do with it. Every time Obama goes on TV when the markets are open they almost uniformly fall. More than once people have profited from shorting the market ahead of one of his speeches.

Take a look at where the market has been between 2007 and now.
It has risen in all but the first year of Obama’s presidency. The first year it finished it’s decline from the Bush years. (no I am not putting the blame on bush, here) Your question is without context and makes no sense to me.

I also wonder if this rise in the market is sustainable or another precursor like 2000 and 2007.

@mickey1339
Well, you know that and I know that. But the Rednecks amongst us continually cry that it’s “Obama’s economy.”
So, alrighty then.
