The rising National Debt is one of the most important issues every election season.

Jeannie Shaheen based her whole campaign on the fact that John Sununu was responsible for doubling the National Debt and she won because of this issue.

So, with this important issue on everyone's mind, I give you The Baby Jesus's starting point for the National Debt.

On 1/20/09, the National Debt was $10,626,877,048,913.08.

For The Baby Jesus, this number represents zero.

can't wait til The Baby Jesus is big enough to crucify

got wood?

Seems fair enough to me.

yeah

its in the past

Finally, the perfect post that can relate to anything, everything and nothing.

done deal

The Baby Jesus has added over $315 billion to the National Debt in 41 days.

If he keeps this up, he'll easily double the National Debt in four years to around $20 trillion.

Boyeeeee.

Lawmakers Take First Whack at Obama Budget Plan

Tuesday, March 03, 2009

powered by BaynoteWASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama's proposed tax increases are being met with misgivings by both Republicans and Democrats in Congress as he sends his treasury secretary to Capitol Hill to defend them.

Lawmakers in both parties question Obama's call to reduce high-income earners' tax deductions for the interest on their house payments and for charitable contributions. Also drawing fire is his proposal to start taxing industries on their greenhouse gas pollution -- a move sure to raise consumers' electric rates.

Obama and his top aides have been promoting the budget package since unveiling an outline last week, but Tuesday will provide the lawmakers their first opportunity to publicly question top officials about the details.

Administration officials say the nation's economic crisis requires bold action to right the economy and expand access to health care while providing tax breaks to middle- and low-income families.

The economy took another hit Monday when the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged below 7,000 for the first time since 1997.

Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner was scheduled to appear Tuesday before the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, which also is likely to question him about Obama's declaration last week that he may be asking Congress this year for another $750 billion bailout for troubled banks.

Meanwhile, White House Budget Director Peter Orszag was to testify Tuesday before the House Budget Committee on Obama's spending priorities in the administration's $3.5 trillion budget blueprint for the 2010 fiscal year beginning Oct. 1.

Obama has been careful throughout the presidential campaign and since being elected to say he would impose higher taxes only on the wealthiest. Republicans, however, say Obama's energy proposal amounts to a tax that would increase energy costs for all Americans.

"This massive hidden energy tax is going to work its way through every aspect of American life," said Rep. Dave Camp of Michigan, the top Republican on the Ways and Means Committee. "How we light our homes, heat our homes and pay for the gas in our cars, in every phase of our daily lives, we will be paying higher costs."

Under the energy plan, Obama wants to reduce the emissions blamed for global warming by auctioning off carbon pollution permits. The proposal, known as cap and trade, is projected to raise $646 billion over 10 years.

Most of the money would be used to pay for Obama's "Making Work Pay" tax credit, which provides up to $400 a year to individuals and $800 a year to couples. The plan also would raise money for clean-fuel technologies, such as solar and wind power.

Orszag has acknowledged that the energy proposal would increase costs for consumers, but he argues that the vast majority of consumers will get tax breaks elsewhere in Obama's budget package.

St. Patrick's Day - while The Baby Jesus parties, the national debt is now 11,033,157,578,669.70.

We all know how important this issue is to all Americans.

Jeanne Shaheen, the one-trick pony from New Marxachusetts, ran on this issue alone. Sununu rang up the national debt farking millions of chillrin.

At this rate, The Baby Jesus will have increased the national debt by 24.92% this year alone to a record $13,274,955,501,791.50.

After four years, at this rate, The Baby Jesus will have increased the national debt by 99.67% to $21,219,190,860,426.90.

Good news.

The projected national debt in four years has decreased from $21,219,190,860,426.90 to only $20,533,445,806,937.80.

This represents an increase of the national debt of only 93.22%.

That's a relief.

Not to the Sufferers of Potomac Fever - they're likely in the throes of withdrawal.

Cheney: "Reagan taught us deficits don't matter."

Spammin' up the board. Free.

Putting Inyerface on ignore. Free.

Having Inyerface use a Dick Cheney quote as an excuse for The Baby Jesus piling up record deficits?

farking priceless.

you believing I was serious

doubtful

Does inyerface or any of the Democrats have a consistent position on deficits, or does it just matter who the president is?

mirror check

I was against Bush going along with Democrats and signing off on their overspending. Your turn.



You do know Congress controls the purse strings of gov?

I was against the bush tax cuts and off the books war

Now that's a start. Kudos to you. Of course tax cuts and deficits don't have a direct correlation, but spending on the war has a direct effect on deficits. Then again being on defensive and being hit by another terror attack would affect deficits. But that's unknowable.

in your bizarro world

So, do you usually include "unknowables" in your rational calculus?

Do you contemplate getting your appendix removed just to make sure that you will never get appendicitis?

Jeanne Shaheen, the moron from New Hampshire - who happened to beat the right-wing moron from New Hampshire, Johnnie Sununu, based her whole campaign on having the ability to control deficit spending.

Hopefully, for her case, more Massholes (aka dumbest voters in the world) will move to New Hampshire and vote her back in after she's doubled the national debt in four years. Otherwise, she's farked.

After 141 days in office, The Baby Jesus has added an additional $765 billion to the national debt.


At this rate, the national debt will be $18.5 billion in four years, an increase of 74.5%.

The point was to save and create jobs. Never mind that Bush would never get away with such a plan, his debt was vilified by Democrats and the press. Now everyone is supposed to rally round the president and work together, unlike the old days under Bush.

Because Bush was an arrogant prick who constantly pissed on everyone who disagreed with his rich/corporate bias. You act like that you get no cooperation and you tend to PISS PEOPLE OFF.



Where the fork were you when the Republicans treated everyone outside their party like al Queda? Seriously, were you in a god damned coma during the pubes reign of terror? I myself was called a Saddamite by Republican bastards like that douchebag JT and bub at cspan for opposing the war.

Now Republicans demand respect. Fork them. They deserve a punch in the face.


But Obama is nicer than that. He's actually reaching out and they're still arrogant bastards making endless demands.

But I'm not bitter.

No, not save and create, the strateegery is save or create.

After 177 days in office, The Baby Jesus has added an additional $953 billion to the national debt.


At this rate, the national debt will be $18.5 billion in four years, an increase of 73.9%

After 245 days in office, The Baby Jesus has added an additional $1.2 TRILLION to the national debt.


At this rate, the national debt will be $17.7 Trillion in four years, an increase of 66.4%

So?

So in four years, The Baby Jesus will have singlehandedly shattered the record for piling up the national debt.

Just another achievement that the The Baby Jesus will have accomplished better than anyone else.









See post #1 for additional details.

wars off the books, huge tax cuts, bush medicare...

all passed to Obama

"On the economy, you could not have a starker contrast than Jeanne Shaheen and her opponent" Sen. John Sununu, Clinton said. "We have doubled the national debt on this Republican administration's watch. We even had to add another digit to the debt clock. With Republicans in lockstep with President Bush's fiscal policies, it's no wonder we are stuck in the red. Well, as the saying goes, out with the old and in with the blue."

Reaching out with a handful of poopy. I'll pass on reaching back!

Bush reached out too. He still isn't being political like Carter and Clinton.

maybe because he's washed up

Here is a farking shocker!


The Baby Jesus has pushed the National Debt over $12 trillion and no mention from ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, CNN, Le Figaro, TASS, the New York Times, the Toledo Blade, N.O.W., A.N.S.W.E.R., N.A.M.B.L.A., C.R.E.W., Moveon.org

Nothing!

The silence is farking deafening.

Off for a repeat on The Baby Jesus benchmark thread.

maybe if he sent out checks to everyone....

Sending welfare checks and healthcare benefits isn't enough?

rebates all 'round!

What's with the reference to "welfare checks"? Did something change lately with regard to welfare? What percentage of the overall discretionary budget of the Federal government goes to "welfare", anyway?

I think Artie is referring to the campaign brochures The Baby Jesus is sending out to the elderly. Inside the brochures is a check for $250.

These $250 checks are aiming to create OR save the three-letter word, J-O-B-S.

Ok, that was funny. Meaningless but damn funny.

Welfare ain't discretionary. It's an entitlement. Wish it was discretionary.

Drudge has posted that The Baby Jesus has spent enough dough in his first year in office to cause the National Debt to exceed $12 trillion.

No word on any of the democrat controlled medias such as ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, PBS, CNN, Fox News, et al., and et al. and etc.

Plus tips for his caddies. Biden is playing golf in Vegas. Good thing he isn't a corporate CEO.

Oh really . . . why don't you look into TANF and figure out if it's an entitlement.

Temporary seems to me to be less than a real entitlement.

Training folks to be recipients of welfare ain't temporary.

The National Debt is over $12 trillion.


After 245 days in office, The Baby Jesus has added an additional $1.4 TRILLION to the national debt.


At this rate, the national debt will be $17.3 Trillion in four years, an increase of 62.6%
