Either our gov't lives within its means or it has to destroy the value of the dollar to NOT live within its means.

And what you refuse to understand is there is a time and a place for a gov't to live within its means. The time was back in 2002 when Bush began to spend like a drunken soldier. That time again will come when the economy is on sounder footing......which I am hoping that will be starting next year.

If milk costs $5 and I make $5 per week, but then next week milk costs $10, and I still make $5 per week, has all that government spending made life better for me? No. All that government spending is not helping you and me. It's going directly to recapitalize big banks, who are then turning around and lending the money back to government to keep the circle jerk going ad infinitum.

Gov'ts aren't people. They have some.......not a lot........more flexibility than people when it comes to spending.

You need to get off the big bank bandwagon. Those guys are criminals and they are in collusion with our government to steal from the 99%. And so far, they are doing a great job of the grandest larceny in history with the full throated support of unwitting Democrats like you and with Obama's support.

I am not much into revenge against the individual bankers.......it accomplishes little. I am more concerned with getting them to pay their fair share for the crap they pulled. I thought the penalties they were paying were enough. Some judge in the District disagrees. Fine. Get the banks to pay more........but don't do like the allies did after WW I with Germany.......kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. That only led to WW II.

As for your comments re. Obama and the Dems, that's bull.......its Rs who are trying to weaken the laws that were passed to regulate the banks and Wall Street, not Obama.

BTW the need for revenge is how we got into Afghanistan. You can have it.......leave me out of it.
