Deficit Tops $1 Trillion For Fourth Year
by Mark Memmott
http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2012/10/12/162811167/deficit-tops-1-trillion-for-fourth-year

The figures are in for the federal government's fiscal 2012 and the deficit was $1.089 trillion, according to the Treasury Department and Office of Management and Budget.

That's less than the previous year's $1.297 trillion and is the third consecutive decline.

But it's also the fourth year in a row of a $1 trillion+ gap between spending and revenues.


— Fiscal 2009: $1.413 trillion.

— Fiscal 2010: $1.293 trillion.

— Fiscal 2011: $1.297 trillion.

— Fiscal 2012: $1.089 trillion.

During Thursday's vice presidential debate, Republican nominee Rep. Paul Ryan criticized President Obama for promising to cut the deficit in half in four years, but instead producing four years of gaps exceeding $1 trillion...

Dreams of Obama's Father

Socialism: Against Gold, Guns, and God
Virginia Prodan, The American Thinker
October 13, 2012

Twenty-four years ago, I was a political refugee exiled from communist Romania to freedom in America. But today, America is in need of freedom. Socialism is spreading in America like a horrible sickness. It is time for those of us who experienced socialism to speak up.

Socialism is a false ideology and is contrary to the American capitalism system. American capitalism promotes free-market and individual freedom, while the Socialist system replaces the free market with government control and eradicates private property, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, religious rights, and national self-determination.

Romania was once a rich capitalist country, with a free-market economy, good health care, and a great school system. Bucharest, the capital, was called "Little Paris." But soon after Nicolae Ceausescu was elected president in 1965, everything changed.

Socialism is against wealth. It confiscates and distributes its citizens' wealth, destroying productivity and individual self-worth. In the name of promoting "fair share," "justice," and "equality," socialism turns most of its people equally into poor people, while the elite leaders enjoy a lavish lifestyle.

Ceausescu governed Romania with an iron fist. He nationalized big areas of our economy, eliminating the free-market economy with new laws that suffocated many corporations. Government-controlled businesses had to abide by the government's request, rules, and regulations and had to produce low-quality products that we, the customers, were forced to buy at a price established by the government.

In short, Ceausescu ruined our economy. We experienced the end of competition and choices.

Under Ceausescu's strict Socialist control system, Romania quickly experienced a drastic shortage of food, fuel, energy, medicine, and all the other necessities. Soon many stores had empty shelves, or next to nothing. Many times people formed long lines waiting for hours in front of the empty stores, hoping the stores would be replenished soon. When the stores did have something on the shelves, the purchase process was frustrating and time-consuming.

Ceausescu turned our schools into a state-owned system. The teacher's role was to indoctrinate the students in socialist ideology and report parents who dared to complain. Parents had no voice in their kids' education. Parent-teacher relationships were gone, replaced with total government control.

Presented as a "humanitarian program," our health care system was changed into a national health care system. The patient-doctor relationship vanished, as did the freedom to chose your own doctor. The government ran hospitals, and medications were rationed.

Socialism is against guns. Again citing a "humanitarian" purpose (too many people or kids killed or hurt by guns), the Socialists in power immediately established gun control in Romania. A special police system called the Securitate controlled and silenced everyone, including the media. The Securitate was the dictator's elite special forces, his loyalists, and a very privileged and powerful group. They were his eyes and ears and above the law. Any honest question or skepticism would be considered an anti-government statement, punishable by everything from loss of employment to execution.

So we lived in a constant state of anxiety and mistrust, where one could be denounced for anti-government statements by anyone: a neighbor, a classmate, even a family member. The only way to avoid punishment (usually jail or death) was to remain silent or blend in.

No free election was held in Romania during Ceaususcu's reign. Dissidents were killed, exiled, or put under house arrest. I was declared a dissident, as I defended freedom in Romania.

Finally, socialism is against God. According to the socialism system, there is no God and therefore no Bible. God was replaced with our socialist leader, the Bible with the Communist Manifesto. There was no sin; there were no morals or virtues with eternal values. Whatever advanced the Socialist philosophy was deemed and declared morally right.

By the time I graduated from a law school in Bucharest and was licensed as an attorney, Ceausescu had declared himself god, starting to jail Christians for having Bibles in their homes or going to church, and began to demolish churches in order to make room for his palace.

During my legal struggles as an attorney to stop Ceausescu and protect churches and Christians, many of my cases were the subject of broadcasts on Radio Free Europe and Voice of America. They were part of U.S. State Department reports and United Nations reports on human and religious rights violations in Ceausescu's Romania. Because my work was considered "dissident activity," the Securitate sought to silence me by intimidation, house arrest, interrogation, and daily searches of my home and office. They even threatened to kill my family and me.

But by the grace of God, I am here, alive!

Those of us who have experienced Socialism and believe in freedom would rather die on our feet than live under any dictator's lies and chains. America's future is on the line-now is the time to speak up, stand up and act (vote) to save America!

Off-topic. Did you mean to post this on a different thread?

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

It is on topic.


It is the Socialist Ideal that drives this administration's efforts to micromanage our economy in the fashion of American Heros such as Fidel and Hugo...





... only we're smart enough and well-educated enough to still call it Capitalism, just a well-regulated Capitalism; one that answers to the government not some fictitious 'invisible hand.' Why invisible hand is just code for Republican corporate greed. Our corporate sponsors, on the other hand, are really good guys who believe that they didn't build that. We did.

Yes we did!

The article says Ceaucescu, a brutal Eastern Bloc butcher. Why hide behind Ceaucescu when you could be just calling Obama "Black Hitler"?

 

[RobDownSouth]

Sarcasm? Or, most likely, you never learned a thing about economics in business.

You're talking to a guy who defined common stock as a loan with a guaranteed rate of return.

He has some rather unconventional economic theories.

And if you really want a good laugh, ask him what the optimal inflation rate should be.

 

[bra_man69]

Got caught lying again, I see.

Derp.

Really how so fat fuck?
if it was a lie your fat fucking ass would of showed it was a lie you like him are to fucking lazy go look for it.

 

[Sean Renaud]

I must be reading Trysail wrong. Is he seriously quoting that Obama has lowered the deficit by nearly 30% over his term? That's what I'm seeing but that can't be right. Obama has increased it every year by unprecedented amounts.

It's rare Vette doesn't respond to me. Hmmm.

He didn't finish his conversation with me either.

Guess he decided his definition was particularly limiting.

Obviously this sort of thing works differently in your home town of Dumbfuckistan.

See, when you make a statement, it's up to you to prove it, not up to someone else to disprove what you said. A google search of "Obama's plan has lower income levels that will pay higher taxes", which is what you claimed that Jay Carney said, turns up squat.

So put up or fuck off, moron.

 

[RobDownSouth]

More like uncovering the bullshit, dummy. There's a lot of "longstanding" bullshit in government, it fools useful idiots like you, others understand what's happening.

It's a good thing there are sites like unskewedpolls.com and zerohedge.com where you can meet like-minded people, people who share your delusions and prejudices.

And they have the kewlest tin-foil hat orgami patterns!

Ace of Spades HQ?

LMFAO!

Jesus Christ on a cracker...

If you listened to the question AND the answer he gave (a link to the video was there at the link you grabbed that tagline from) you wouldn't sound like such an idiot.. By why bother with that now?

The "other lower income levels" he was talking about was lower than the $1 million figure Biden gave. the $1 million per year figure he was asked about when he made that statement. The figure that's been put forward is $250K, so yes, there are "other lower income levels" than the $1 Million Biden talked about that would see a tax increase.

Now I see why you vote for Obama your beyond stupid.

It's "You're" as in "You are" you illiterate imbecile.

And you calling anyone stupid is absolutely hilarious.

So your soundbite turned out to be bullshit, no surprise.

You may want to invest in some reading comprehension classes, or just get someone to sound out the larger words and explain them to you.
