Obama needs another 2 trillion dollars to pay the rent.


They used to tell me I was building a dream, and so I followed the mob,
When there was earth to plow, or guns to bear, I was always there right on the job.
They used to tell me I was building a dream, with peace and glory ahead,
Why should I be standing in line, just waiting for bread?

Once I built a railroad, I made it run, made it race against time.
Once I built a railroad; now it's done. Brother, can you spare a dime?
Once I built a tower, up to the sun, brick, and rivet, and lime;
Once I built a tower, now it's done. Brother, can you spare a dime?

Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell,
Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum,
Half a million boots went slogging through Hell,
And I was the kid with the drum!

Say, don't you remember, they called me Al; it was Al all the time.
Why don't you remember, I'm your pal? Buddy, can you spare a dime?

2010 DEMOCRAT CAMPAIGN SONG.
We're in the money, we're in the money;
We've got a lot of what it takes to get along!
We're in the money, that sky is sunny,
Old Man Depression you are through, you done us wrong.
We never see a headline about breadlines today.
And when we see the landlord we can look that guy right in the eye
We're in the money, come on, my honey,
Let's lend it, spend it, send it rolling along!

Oh, yes we're in the money, you bet we're in the money,
We've got a lot of what it takes to get along!
Let's go we're in the money, Look up the skies are sunny,
Old Man Depression you are through, you done us wrong.
We never see a headline about breadlines today.
And when we see the landlord we can look that guy right in the eye
We're in the money, come on, my honey,
Let's lend it, spend it, send it rolling along!

Fucking amazing!

With 11,554 posts/threads you should know better than to place
poetry in the "Authors Hangout".

I know why you did that!

It is because not too many people hang out there, and you want
to get noticed.

You want a larger group of individuals reading your thread, and
commenting on it.

Get a grip pal, and start putting your threads in the right forums!

I don't give a shit how many posts/threads people have. Keep
them in the right forum!

Carolyn? Get a clue and get a grip on your control issues.

FYI the 'poems' are popular Depression Era songs.
 
JBJ -- maybe if you could somehow relate each one of those 2 trillion dollars to stars, then you would have an impact. AHers are very impressed with the large number of stars ... but debt dollars, apparently, not so much. :rolleyes:

Right now we have 12,000,000,000,000 in public debt. Obama wants to add 2,000,000,000,000 to it in 2010. Your share of this debt comes to almost $47,000. Add the spouse and kids, and we're talking the price of a new home...almost $187,000. Your family's share of the interest on this debt runs about $800 per month.

And this debt doesnt count the debt we owe for Social Security, Medicare, Government Pensions, and VA benefits. Altogether we owe around 100 trillion dollars. That is, every dime we earn for the next 10 years. The monthly interest on 100 Trillion is about $6400 per month, per family.

Do you see why we're lassooed, screwed, and tattooed?
 

Let's take a look at the U.S. national debt outstanding as reported by http://www.usdebtclock.org this morning. At the moment, it stands at a stunning $12,312,407,000,000 ( for U.S. based innumerates, that's TWELVE TRILLION THREE HUNDRED TWELVE BILLION FOUR HUNDRED SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS ) or $39,905 per person or $112,768 per taxpayer.

And its unsustainable.

Next year Obama will be back for another 2 trillion, and keep coming back till America is the Weimar Republic. The Hitler will come along.

I still think you needed to work in the solar system to grow your AH audience.

However, on a more serious note, what is your solution?

The only solution that works is: Prioritize spending and stop borrowing money you cant repay. This is how I manage my income.

STARZ? You mean, like Miley Cyrus?
