deficit

The violent usurpers you call the federal congress have decided to reduce the amount of resources they steal from the American public by a paltry 111 billion dollars next year. The 2011 annual budget for the United States is 3.82 trillion in expenditures. The annual amount of money stolen from...

http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/11/cbo-senate-bill-costs-849-billion-major-deficit-reducer.php?ref=fpa CBO is non-partisan, isn't it? Any reason to doubt these numbers?

That's the newly projected deficit for this fiscal year. In all seriousness, how do you borrow that amount of money? From whom? What do you have to do to convince people to lend it to you? If you decided to do a "stimulus package" of 10 trillion dollars, could that be done? I know that...

Just read an article which quoted some US professor as to how the whole "UAE ports deal" was having politicians focusing on the wrong thing. The "ports deal" was just a symptom of a larger problem, i.e. the constant overspending of the US. The US clearly spends beyond its means. Last year it...

Last month, GW Bush announced that he intended to reduce the national deficit by one half in five years. Using generally accepted accounting, that would mean that because the U.S. government spent in 2004, $413 billion more than it took in, the target deficit for the year after Bush leaves...

Did anyone else find Kerry's claim that he would cut the deficit in half by the end of four years to be a cynical exploitation of public ignorance? Seems to me that he wanted people to think he was promising to cut the debt, not the deficit. Reducing the deficit, or even eliinating it...

The last thread I started defended the possible authenticity of the memos. I hope I can do a little bit better this time. Presidents take a lot of credit when the economy is good, and are given a lot of blame when the economy is bad. This is so important to campaigns that candidates try to...

Does anyone here know a particularly large amount of information regarding ADD or ADHD? While I myself regularly research and have an intense fascination regarding these disorders, I have recently began to question their validity. I have found that there is an unusually high correlation...

U.S. Trade Deficit Widens As China Imports Hit Record http://online.wsj.com/article/0,,SB106328317180701400,00.html?mod=home_whats_news_us

US Deficit grows to over $400 BILLION in 2003, perhaps a record $500 billion in 2004! (That's a "b" as in "beellion") Why, I haven't seen a budget deficit this big since Bush Sr. was in office (1992)! Remember that previous MO-RON president named Bill something or other... he was dumb enough...
