Title: Is it 'Our' debt? Or 'Barack's' debt? Where does the buck stop? Post by: WhiskeyGirl on May 18, 2009, 07:58:55 PM Barack's use of the words 'our' and 'we' just don't sit well with me.
Is Barack steering the nation to change? Isn't it his hand that signs off on these massive spending bills? Is't it his hand that commits the nation to debt? It seems to me, there is no 'our' or 'we' in these decisions. I'd choose not to spend the money. I believe spending is the path to the destruction of the nation. Does the buck stop with Barack? Shouldn't he say things like "my massive spending (recovery) may not work" or "my massive spending and debt is no sustainable"? "China may decide not to buy my debt in the future." Does the buck stop with Barack? Title: Re: Is it 'Our' debt? Or 'Barack's' debt? Where does the buck stop?

Quote "The library was so small. There's over 4,000 residents out there," said Debra Strickland, a former executive director of Developing Communities Project, who led the organization to get the current library. She joined the group as Obama was leaving for law school. "It really helped in terms of providing education needs." Quote He also noted that Altgeld Gardens is in the middle of a $441 million rehabilitation, and he recently secured $31 million in federal stimulus money to speed the renovation along. "We're spending a lot of money in Altgeld," Beale said. This was a story about a flooded library... $441,000,000.00 divided by 4,000 residents = $110,250.00 - that doesn't include the $31 million to speed it along. I wonder how many working poor people would love the government to give them $110,250 for housing? http://gapersblock.com/mechanics/2009/05/08/flooding-the-lines-for-a-flood/ (http://gapersblock.com/mechanics/2009/05/08/flooding-the-lines-for-a-flood/) |
