Obama's Twin Deficits
Obama promised the world during his 2008 election bid, but what he promised, and what he delivered, are two very different things. Obama's failed promise to reduce the deficit totals: $1090700000000 For that amount of money we could pay for: • 88333170 Americans to go to college • 6562575 homes • 294 billion gallons of gas Obama's failed promise to keep unemployment below 8% with the stimulus totaled: $423000000000 in lost wages For that amount of money we could pay for • 34257753 Americans to go to college • 2545126 homes • 114 billion gallons of gas

What if we never make it? We'll never make it. Well I've gott get alone with you, and we've gotta pack this bowl for two.. In the sunshine, we'll be alright. Cause tonight its so cold. And this here is life or so I've been told. Don't lose your fears and dont lose your heart. Cause we're all just together to fall apart and I know we're not comin' back. But I love this love, this life. We've got this til we die - this love, this life. And we'll always have our sex and love by the downtown view above. And the sun's burning this spliff to the ground. We'll live and love life, just dont make a sound and I swear we'll be alright. And I'm the lonely soul, broke and cold, stoned and sold out to a mainstream cliche for just one more day, for just one more day with you. And I love this love, this life. We've got this til we die - my love, my life. 19 years, not one flaw. Seen one thing, seen it all. Destination? Well i'm a failure. So what if I'm going nowhere? Where did you find this sweet fucking velvet? I'll give you every penny I have if you sell it. 1989 was such a waste of time. We'll never waste away again. Well if this winding road will someday set me free.. I'll never doubt you again. We're still singin' Set me free! Jesus fucking Christ ...

Debt, Deficits, and Denial: The Truth About Washington
Listen as Follow the Money Weekly Radio show host, Jerry Robinson, explains the shocking truth about America's national debt. Jerry Robinson is a popular economist and best-selling author of the book "Bankruptcy of our Nation." You can learn more about him and his weekly radio show, Follow the Money Weekly, online at www.ftmdaily.com ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Our national debt now stands at a staggering $14 trillion. After being $14 trillion in the red, you would think that Washington would begin to realize that they have a major spending problem. But remember, Washington thinks that its problem is a revenue problem, not a spending problem. The only time that our leaders in Washington become concerned about anything is when their spending money threatens to dry up... So watch for the big debate over the next few weeks in the Congress to be over raising the debt ceiling. Somewhere around March or April of this year, our spendthrift politicians are going to have to vote themselves more spending money... Instead of slashing spending and cutting redundant government programs, Washington will beg and plead for more money. Have you ever seen a small child in the candy aisle at a grocery store throwing a fit because they want something. That is what our politicians are going to, just as they do every year. In the end, we have to ask ourselves, are we okay with our nation's leaders living in total denial over our true economic problems? But don't answer too fast... Because ...
Debts, Deficits, and Spending Cuts
Students, get a full week of this at a summer seminar: lrnlbty.co Dr. Jeffrey Miron at Harvard explains America's debt situation, which is projected to worsen in the coming years. In his estimation, an increase in taxes will only make the situation worse, as it will reduce productivity. Therefore, government spending must be cut. If not, America will be bankrupt and default on its debt. Watch more videos: lrnlbty.co

Budget Deficits for Dummies: Or how I learned to stop worrying and love $1.4 trillion
The US budget deficit for fiscal year 2009, which ended in September, was a record-shattering $1.4 trillion, equal to about 10 percent of Gross Domestic Product. In case you're wondering, the previous record had been set in...2008. $1.4 trillion dollars is a lot of money and it's hard to get your mind around that figure. One way to appreciate the sum is to think of it in terms of all the things that you could buy with that dough. The budget deficit, for instance, would pay for more than 1.2 billion nights at Rep. Charles Rangel's vacation condo in the Dominican Republic. And that's just for starters. Don't worry if you have trouble doing the math, because you'll get another chance next year. The Obama administration has just released its estimate for the fiscal year 2010 budget deficit. The number? Another $1.4 trillion. Approximately 1.30 seconds.

Bush Has Doubled National Debt with Deficits
Jack Cafferty interviews former Nixon Commerce Secretary Pete Peterson, who discusses the unfortunate political and financial reality of the Bush Administration's excessive spending, deficits, and China borrowings, rendering us both politically and financially vulnerable, as we devolve into third world nation status. Another reason why the Bush legacy will be to take us from the World's most formidable military and financial power steps closer to being third world nation.

America faces a terminal decline as an economic Superpower as stagnation and high unemployment sap its strength.
CBO Predicts Health Reform Deficit Happiness? Maybe Not
On December 19, 2009, the CBO released an estimate that the health reform bill would reduce the deficits by $132 billion. The problem with this estimate was something that the CBO made as plain as day: They can only estimate the bill as it is written and make no estimation of how likely it is that a particular part of the bill will be implemented as it is written. My goal here was to satirize the fact that the health reform bill has been written with several parts that seem VERY unlikely (next to impossible) to be implemented as they are written. And yet, for consistency, the CBO makes no judgment call on the likelihood of the implementation. That's not their job.

The Deficit Scare Game
George W. Bush and Dick Cheney both declared that deficits don't matter. Reagan ran a deficit of 17%, while Bush Sr. ran one of 12%. Even though Obama's deficit will only be around 8%, the GOP has engaged in a new deficit scare tactic to convince us that Obama's stimulus plans will do more harm than good. Given the lessons of history, and the fact that Clinton turned Bush's 12% deficit around to a 1% deficit in 18 months, we can't worry too much about deficit spending. Ring of Fire's Mike Papantonio appears on Your World with Neil Cavuto to discuss this issue.

Narcissist's Cognitive Deficits
Everything you Need to Know about Narcissists, Psychopaths, and Abuse - click on this link: www.narcissistic-abuse.com The narcissist lacks empathy. He is, therefore, unable to meaningfully relate to other people and to truly appreciate what it is to be human. Instead, he withdraws inside, into a universe populated by avatars -- simple or complex representations of parents, peers, role models, authority figures, and other members of his social milieu. There, in this twilight zone of simulacra, he develops "relationships" and maintains an on-going internal dialog with them. The narcissist attributes his failures and mistakes to circumstances and external causes. This propensity to blame the world for one's mishaps and misfortunes is called "alloplastic defence". At the same time, the narcissist regards his successes and achievements (some of which are imaginary) as proofs of his omnipotence and omniscience. This is known in attribution theory as "defensive attribution". Conversely, the narcissist traces other people's errors and defeats to their inherent inferiority, stupidity, and weakness. Their successes he dismisses as "being in the right place at the right time" -- ie, the outcome of luck and circumstance.

THE DEFICITS "WORLDS APART" (ACOUSTIC VERSION)
Lyrics: 20 years now gone, my bones have rotted to the ground. But I still know in my cold, dead heart that when we were alive, we were the sound that carried this life, that carried this art. But dont hold back now, we're only worlds apart, and I'll see you soon, we all gotta go... Well I dont believe in the sun, or the moon or the stars in the sky. I think we live in a box, painted ceilings and sides. Thats why I hold you close, thats why I keep you near, like my bag of dope, like my deepest fears. You're my stage, you're my song, you're my deepest regret. You're the rage, you're the motherfucking deficits of my mind and my soul, everything that I owe is in you. And I'm holding on, I'm getting by, Fuck everyday, Just getting high. But there's nothing we can do, so I'll write another stupid fucking song, I wanted you hear for this, if for anything at all. But you cease to exist any longer to me, so now we live for alcohol and nicotine and smoke filled rooms listening to "Jugband Blues." I'm a dream, you're awake. So I give and you take. But you can't take the best of me hidden so far in the depths of the wood of my acoustic guitar that I burried with words someone will find and read. Realized the only fucking reason that I'm here is to plant my seed. And these flowers will bloom when they hear my song. These flowers we'll bloom when we're dead, when we're gone.. So I'm holding on, and I'm getting by. Fuck everyday, just getting high. Some sunny day, we'll reminisce. Til ...

The Trillion $$$ Dollar US Economic Deficit Caused By Our Government
The government has acquired trillions of dollars in debt and no one knows how we can pay it back without destroying our own economy to do so. Something must be done to preserve free enterprise in America. The voices of businesses and workers must be unified to speak in a voice so loud that our elected officials will be forced to listen. Beginning September 22, 2009, we will. The private sector of our economy is comprised of 5 million companies and 115 million workers. The private sector pays 85% of all taxes and is being burdened by our government with unsustainable levels of operating deficits and ever-increasing debt. Help preserve our fiscal policy and free enterprise system by reducing wasteful government entitlements.

Obama unveils $3.8tn budget with massive deficits
www.timesofearth.com WASHINGTON - Barack Obama, the US president, has vowed to tackle the aftermath of the financial crisis in his new budget, which projects a record deficit of $1.56tn this year. Obama said on Monday that his $3.8tn budget "reflects the serious challenges facing the country", including debt and unemployment. "We will continue, for example, to do what it takes to create jobs. That is reflected in my budget. It is essential," he said. Judd Gregg, the Senate Budget Committee's top Republican, said the budget, which "claims to be fiscally responsible", would in reality see "more spending, more borrowing and more taxes". "After a year in office that has put us on a pace to double the debt by 2013, the president should have a tougher plan to address our fiscal crisis, because this budget will solve nothing," he said. Obama has blamed his predecessor, George Bush, for the country's financial mess, and said the rise in national debt was partly due to the $787bn stimulus package pushed through Congress last year to fight the recession. His budget, which remains subject to change by the US Congress, attempts to save money by curbing 120 projects, including a space mission to the moon. The plans see more money invested in education, research and job creation, with $100bn earmarked for measures to help tackle unemployment, which is expected to edge towards 8.2 per cent in 2012 from 10 per cent in 2010. The Obama administration also backed limited steps to lower ...
