First comes the crowing and chest thumping, then comes the moaning and feeling sorry for themselves, America, the manic depressive.

Serious question for you Smitty...

Why does CNN hate Russia? I don't quite understand wtf the Left is doing advocating conflict with Putin.

Serious answer, it's all for domestic consumption, Russia is merely a proxy.

Both teams have their foreign devil bogeys to wave in front of the rubes, to keep them distracted and in an uproar, for Blue Team it's Vladimir Putin, and for Red Team, apparently it's Justin Trudeau.

All the other stuff people talk about is not really a major factor.

Empire-building and paying for retirement. That's what is bankrupting us.
Except for Obama's spending, I'd agree, but since 1950 we have pushed a trillion or more into aid... and forgiven a lot as well, like when Russia went bankrupt, etc...

Trillions were lost and forgiven... we got screwed in so many ways it's not funny.

All that shit is just a drop in the bucket, really. You can't claim to be serious about reducing the national debt unless you are focus primarily on (1) ending the wars, (2) stamping out defense pork, (3) reforming the social security and VA system, and (4) shifting the tax burden back towards the top rather than reducing anything. That's where the vast bulk of our debt goes. You get rid of the national debt by spending restraints coupled with no tax breaks for those who are well-off. Just don't do that shit during a recession.

I don't feel sorry for shit, what I stated is fact. The US has forgiven hundreds of Billions in debt... if we didn't have Obama spend money like a drunken sailor with an unlimited bank account, we wouldn't be 20+ Trillion in debt, if anything we'd only be 11 to 12 Trillion.

Obama didn't help by increasing our war footprint and the bailouts...

Tax cuts means what to you? Seriously if giving more money back to the people and less to the government is a problem, then perhaps we need to give the government a weight loss program?
Mmhmm, says the goobers who have run up a twenty trillion dollar debt, and counting.

The vast majority of the budget, trillion dollars in defense pork, trillion dollars in healthcare, and a trillion dollars in corporate welfare, is spent on the donor class, who the GOP are the lickspittle cronies of, hence the whole "run up the debt" part of the equation.

Indeed, and then, to keep the rubes distracted. . .
