Just as I have no doubt all of us in America could be as well through ignorant banking practices.
As I said in the original post, Bush started this nonsense, Obama is just finishing up behind him.
From Clinton, to Bush, to Obama and onward these men are destroying our country through policy.
Godwin's law (also known as Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies or Godwin's Law of Nazi Analogies)[1][2] is a humorous observation made by Mike Godwin in 1989 which has become an Internet adage. It states: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1."[3][2] In other words, Godwin put forth the sarcastic observation that, given enough time, all discussions—regardless of topic or scope—inevitably end up being about Hitler and the Nazis.

If those passing legislation truly gave a damn about America they would quit outsourcing jobs, they would cease giving tax benefits to corporations to do business outside of America, and as well they would bolster the American working class.
But unfortunately these selfish bastards are getting to much money to destabilize their own economy to sell debt to China.

I hope I did not come across as offensive as that was not my intent.
You didn't,not in the least! I appreciate your thoroughly wanting to get your facts straight.
If I can track down more proof of those statements,I will be glad to come back with verification.

With presence in over 40 countries worldwide we seek to provide real world ID solutions to match the ever increasing complexity and opportunities related to animal identification.
Since 1945 we have provided innovative products addressing the needs of livestock producers, companion animal owners, horse owners, wildlife managers and government agencies.
Destron Fearing provides a full complement of radio frequency identification products and software solutions to automate the collection of critical livestock production and carcass information.
Individual and herd information can then be easily transferred between all parties involved in the production and retail of meat products. Information sharing allows the food industry to meet the discriminating demands of the market place.

If he's smart he won't "scape goat" anyone. He will properly point out that every republican president since Reagan has bloated the debt and that the only president to end his term with a surplus was a democrat. That republicans have lead us into all of the majors wars of the past 30 years and done so by bypassing congresses constitutional mandate to approve the act of making war on more than one occasion.

He would properly point out that it has been predominately republican policies that have unleashed the nasty side of capitalism on the middle and lower class and that his bailout has nearly paid for itself. That his efforts to stabilize the economy are not and will never be perfect, but that he has the will to make the tough decisions that he and his team feel are needed to stop the bleeding that was started on the watch of a republican president.

He has made some serious missteps, but going back to deregulated markets and tax cuts for wealth individuals and constantly increasing military spending is a recipe we have already tried. It created pseudo-wealth for the nation and after we had finished cladding ourselves in gold we took a look at the bill and wondered how we were going to pay for it all.

My conservative count, including just social security and admitted debt (which seems to be based on cash accounting) is 67 trillion over the next 20 years. That's without interest on the current debt and without interest on the post 2016 short fall on social security. That also does NOT include the 9% per year that we already go over budget. According to the IMF's most recent study we need to reduce spending by 14.5% just to stop adding to the cash debt.. until 2016 when social security payouts begin to require the government to borrow to keep up.

Obama has literally only done what has to be done to try and avoid 0% or negative growth in the national economy.
