Obama Adding 3 Trillion to the Federal Debt
"It’s official: The Obama administration has now
borrowed $3 trillion, according to the U.S. Treasury Department.
It took from 1776, when the United States became an independent country,
until 1990, the year after the Berlin Wall fell signaling victory in the
Cold War, for the federal government to accumulate a total of $3
trillion in debt, according to the Treasury Department. It only took
from Jan. 20, 2009, the day President Barack Obama was inaugurated,
until Oct. 15, 2010, for the Obama administration to add $3 trillion to
the federal debt..." Full text:
It’s Official:
Obama Has Now Borrowed
$3 Trillion

Response to comment [from an atheist]: "SD, are you capable of
original thoughts..."
Ad hominem.
I don't know how to think.
"...spoon-fed to you by obscure news sites?"
Ad hominem.
Are you able to address the issues?
"Like honestly..."
Like, OMG...
...Like,
LOL...
"...[W]e understand that you're incredibly biased in most everything you
say..."
Like, ad hominem.
I think they're missing you in the girly group.
"...[P]eople would appreciate your presence on here a whole lot more if
you actually offered opinions."
If you'd like my opinion,
just ask.
Any thoughts on 3 trillion dollars?
"At least I admit when I'm questioning someone's intelligence and
belittling them..."
Great.
Now, stick to
the issues.
What do you think of 3 trillion dollars?
"...[M]y opinion on the issue is that it isn't necessarily such an
issue..."
3 trillion dollars is not an issue. Thank
you for your participation. Pray tell why are you in this thread?
"...[W]hen the economy is in a slump the key to getting out of it is to
encourage consumer spending again..."
Small business owners are very encouraged while
dogs are at their heels (Ps
49:5).
No, that's good--
buy a big screen TV while it's still legal.
"In spending money, Obama is stimulating the economy by improving the
conditions for job creation and consumer spending."
You're sold.
I'm not.
"If his plan works out, and I feel that it will, the economic upswing
will result in the deficit being neutralized by economic prosperity."
Describe for us how our debt will be neutralized.
Meanwhile, back in
reality--you have no problem stealing from our children? Saddling them
with debt?
"...[T]he federal deficit for the just-finished 2010 budget year was a
little under $1.3 trillion," or "about $125 billion below the $1.42
trillion record posted for 2009. That means the government borrowed 37
cents out of every dollar it spent (7 Oct 2010)."
By the way,
he's not interested in a prospering economy. He's interested in
structural change.

We all know that the takers take money from the makers
that make money (Ex 20:15). It's all about you and your belly (Job

"My generation that's being effected by this."
Why do you believe what this
administration is telling you?
"...[T]he purpose of these tax policies are to benefit everyone."
This is a planned destruction of America.
Obama compared himself to the brave men and women of history:
"If our parents and grandparents and great-grandparents have listened to the
cynics 50 years ago or 100 years ago or 200 years ago, we wouldn't be here
today..."--yet, he rejects Americanism.
"Health care is something that everybody needs at one point or another..."
And we have the best healthcare system in the world.
The effects of his new law are already being experienced.
"...[I]t shouldn't be that difficult for those that can afford it to help out
those that can't."
You expect a blessing when you steal from others? Ex
20:15.
"The funny thing is, there isn't that much of a structural change happening."
Start paying attention.
"...broadening the spectrum of those social programs"
We need to
cut (Dept of Education, Dept of Energy, NPR, etc.) not
broaden.
"It is our job however to take care of our own people. "
It is your job to take care of yourself (Ge 1:28).
This country gives you that opportunity.
"No one complained when Bush spent billions..."
Conservatives did. Bush is responsible--so is Obama.

"People generally don't take just because it's free..."
You live on this planet, right?
Jer 17:9.
"...They take because they need it."
When people are in need, that is what the: church, family
and friends are for. Government's primary job is to protect it's citizens (Gen.
41:25–57).

[You expect a blessing when you steal from others?
Ex 20:15.] "...[T]he issue with your beliefs is that society doesn't

This is why we are losing our country.
[Start paying attention] "Change is necessary."
Revival is necessary (2 Chr. 7:14, 2 Chr. 7:14; James

"Why is that? Why is it such an issue for people to start off on a level playing

People from rich families still start out rich. People from poor families still
start out poor. The only difference is that the poor people will now actually
have an opportunity to achieve what the rich people once held exclusive."
You value equality. I value liberty
(Ro 8:21). Stop being covetous (Mr 7:22,23, Eze 33:31; 2 Pe 2:14,

"Is it really such an issue if Obama costs the country more money now so that it

In laymen's terms: this is a pipedream (Ro 3:8).
